The exciting discovery of an extensive Roman complex on the southern slope of Castiglione del Lago (see the latest posts in “Research”) drew substantial media attention. On 6 July 2023, we held a press conference at the Palazzo della Corgna that was well attended by the public and press. Since then several reports about the project have been published and broadcast in Italy. Here is a selection:

On 8 July 2023, RAI 3 (TGR in Umbria) broadcast this story:

La città sepolta: Conclusa la campagna di scavi archeologici a Castiglione del Lago. Ritrovati resti di epoca romana, forse un complesso termale.

And, on 11 July 2023, this article appeared in Trasimeno Oggi: “Importanti risultati degli scavi archeologici al Poggio” .

TRAP is grateful for our many local partners in Castiglione del Lago, especially the Archeo Trasimeno Club. We were pleased to see this profile of Club president, Massimiliano Sabba, in Corriere dell’Umbria on 20 August 2023:
