For the first time since the beginning of this research, the open-area explorations looked at an out building situated about 15 m north of the main building. Already identified by a small trial trench and geophysical survey, it consisted of an elongated rectangular structure, on a north-south alignment, which was slightly different with respect to the central building (5° towards the north-west). The south and north edges of the structure have yet to be reached; the explored area measured 9.80 × 17.80 m. So far, seven rooms have been identified, arranged in two rows. In one case, the floor was made of opus signinum, with quarter-round mouldings at the junctions of the walls and floors. There were clear traces of late-antique occupation in this sector also.
Research also continued in the central part of the villa, concentrating on the northern part. In particular, excavation of room E resumed, which housed the lacus of the wine production structures. In addition to confirming the substantial amount of late antique evidence following the collapse of the structures, the excavations exposed evidence relating to the frescoed decorative scheme of the room’s east wall. Although the fragments were poorly preserved, it was possible to recognise traces of a polychrome decoration, perhaps vegetal motifs. A 3D survey of the sector was made.

The exploration of the north-south sewer crossing the central part of the villa also continued. The section immediately outside the complex was uncovered.
Lastly, restoration and monitoring of the state of preservation was undertaken on the wine production structures.

In collaboration with Turin Polytechnic the geophysical survey continued and laser scanning and ortho-photo processing of images taken by drone began.
