St. Sebastian complex - Rome

Under the Basilica of St. Sebastian in Rome lie two Roman villas named Villa Grande and Villa Piccola, dating respectively to the II century A. D. and the very beginning of the IV century A. D. The walls of all the rooms in both villas are decorated with frescoes. After a preliminary study aimed at assessing the state of conservation of the decorations in 2013 (see section "Projects”), in the year later we completely restored the wall frescoes in room 28 in Villa Grande and consolidated all the fragments that were at risk of collapsing in the two villas.
