Art Rider: discovering great works

Art Rider alla scoperta delle grandi opere

Construction sites are often perceived as intruders in the spaces they occupy. In reality, they are closely interconnected with urban planning, with the history and archaeology of our cities. And they often represent a unique opportunity to discover the treasures hidden underground for centuries or even millennia. 

In a country like Italy, which has the largest number of sites included in the UNESCO World Heritage list, where thousands of archaeological sites have already been discovered and protected by the Ministry of Culture, each excavation represents a potential discovery. 

But what happens when the most important construction company of large Italian works and infrastructure intervenes digging to depths unreachable for anyone else? How is it possible to preserve the delicate finds scattered in the territory by the action of the powerful tools of excavation? Build impressive infrastructures that facilitate urban and interregional connections by revealing the archaeological heritage that emerge thanks to excavations

Delve into the darkest and unexplored spaces of the world known to create futuristic works and simultaneously bring to light traces of our ancient history. And thanks to Webuild, great works travel not only in urban space, but also in time. Let's find out with the young archaeologist and TV host Andrea Angelucci
