Excavation continued in the portico area where more wall painting was uncovered. This year the wall painting can be compared to the garden scene in the house of Livia on the Palatine, with birds in cherry trees. Further excavation continued in the rooms flanking the oecus. Two new black and white geometric mosaic floors were found, one being the standard hall way design at the site, the other a honeycomb motif.

At the same time we conducted geophysical prospection in an integrated way (usign both magnetometer, electrical resistivity and ground penetrating radar) within the fields the north of the excavated area, for a total of about 5000square meters. The geophysical exploration revealed the presence of two overlapping layers of structures: the first, oldest,shows the same orientation of the roman structures of the villa and seems to show the extent of the villa for a few tens of meters to the north; the second, more recently, has a different orientation and reveals a large square structure perhaps dating back to a post-medieval period with a central court, side rooms, different entrances and a road.
