In 2011, the University of Bologna’s excavations concentrated on two macro-sectors, already partially exposed during the previous campaign: the Roman warehouse in the north-western part of the excavation (Trench 35) and the structures dating to the Theodosian and post-Theodosian periods, in the south and south-eastern part of the Alpestri property (Trench 36).

In 2010, the excavation of the first sector partially exposed a Roman building, burnt down towards the middle of the 3rd century A.D., identified as a warehouse for dry foodstuffs and various other types of materials. The north and south perimeters of the building were documented, while those to the east and west were not reached. Although the north wall was found at less than one metre from the previous trench edge, it was seen that the building extended to the east, well beyond what was originally thought. In fact, a large quadrangular room doubled the size of the warehouse, which was therefore much larger than previously imagined. Thus, the structure appears rather to be a multifunctional pavilion, of the type used at the large productive villas of the Roman period, such as Settefinestre or, locally, Russi.

The excavation of the second sector (Trench 36) was particularly interesting, as for the first time the evidence confirmed what had been presumed for some time: the reuse of the residential part of the earlier Roman villa in the Theodosian period. In fact, a room of late imperial date with opus signinum floors was exposed, which had been restored and reused in the later period.
