Summary (English)
In September the first investigations began of the castle of Mondragone ( Montis Draconis ), a medieval fortified settlement which overlooks the present town.
The results of the first excavation campaign highlighted the site’s importance, suggesting research strategies which would widen the scope of the investigation to include the entire settlement. This comprised an enclosure wall, a first fortified village with church, the pentagonal tower and numerous houses and service rooms, and by a second village which extended over the southern slope of the hill and was defended by a further two curtain walls.
