An exhibition born from the recent archaeological finds discovered during the excavations of the line 1 of Naples metro. The extraordinary finds are a glance over one of the less known periods of the city’s history: the Byzantine phase of the city, characterized by an important process of urban transformation of the waterfront. The exhibition is divided into two groups of marble finds, recovered in Naples within one-hundred years from each other, in the area of the Rettifilo. One during the excavations for the realization of the Station Università (early year 2000) in piazza Bovio - waterfront of antiquity – the other in the fondaco Marramarra in via Cellini (end of 19th century) during the restoration works of the city’s lower neighbourhoods. Centre-piece of the exhibition are the remains of a Byzantine tower found in Piazza Bovio and the architectural decorations of the Imperial Age, found in 1883 in the fondaco Marramarra. The display is completed by a video narrating the archaeological event, from the retrieval to the marbles recovery and the restoration works.
