Archaeologists have made an astounding discovery in the hills above the Negrar di Valpolicella neighborhood in northeast Italy. A Roman mosaic floor has been unearthed beneath an Italian farm near Verona, adding to the ruins of an ancient villa that were found over a century ago.

The intricate flooring, believed to date back to the 3rd century AD, is now being carefully excavated by technicians who are working on ensuring its safe preservation.

Excavation work on the site started in 1922 but was soon halted. However, last summer, a team from the Superintendent of Archaeology, Fine Arts, and Landscape of Verona resumed the dig. Although the project faced delays due to the coronavirus pandemic, recent progress has led to this exciting discovery.

Archaeologist Myko Clelland came across this remarkable find online and shared it on Twitter, causing the news to quickly go viral.

Efforts are now underway to connect with the owners of the area and the municipality, in order to make this archaeological treasure accessible and visible to the public. While it may take time and resources to achieve this, it is an important endeavor to trace back our history.
