Andrea Carandini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andrea Carandini (b. 1937 Rome, Italy) is a contemporary Italian archaeologist specializing in ancient Rome. Among his many excavations is the villa of Settefinestre. The son of Nicolò Carandini, he was born in Rome and teaches Archaeology at the University of Rome La Sapienza. His research now focuses 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 has 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[1] 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.
