Excavation of the Republican-Imperial villa continued. Despite the damage caused by the modern farmhouse the entire Tuscan-style atrium was preserved, with rectangular impluvium edged by a moulded cornice faced with mosaic. The area around the impluvium was paved with opus signinum decorated with marble and coloured stone crustae. The abandonment of the structures seems to have occurred around the end of the 2nd century A.D., as attested by the discovery of an infant burial covered with tiles. However, occupation, perhaps for cult purposes, resumed between the 8th and 13th century.
