Everything about Andrea Carandini totally explained
Count
Andrea Carandini (born
1937) is an
Italian archaeologist specialising in
ancient Rome. Among his many excavations is the villa of
Settefinestre.
The son of
Nicolò Carandini, he was born in
Rome and presently teaches archaeology at the
University of Rome La Sapienza. His research is focused on the
topography of Rome,
Etruria in the Roman period and the analysis of monumental complexes in various cities in Italy (
Volterra, Grumentum,
Pompeii, and
Veii). Since 1993 he's coordinated a project in Rome's
suburbium and the
Tiber valley in conjunction with the Soprintendenza Archeologica e la Sovrintendenza Comunale di Roma. He continues to direct the excavations of the north slope of the
Palatine Hill in Rome where important discoveries relating to the earliest city of Rome have been made, including the discovery of the famous Palatine wall in 1988 (cf.
New York Times June 10, 1988). In the 1990s he was also involved in the excavation of the
Auditorium site(External Link
) in
Rome, a substantial domestic structure dating to the fifth century B.C.; it was most likely the monumental residence of an important clan (
gens). Some of his views on the historicity of
Romulus are controversial. Carandini was a student of
Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli.
