Roman architecture expertly fused functionality with beauty, leaving a lasting legacy that influences modern designs. Innovations like the arch and the use of concrete were crucial.
In Volterra, over 3,000 years of history reveal insights into Roman architecture. Modern technology enables us to rediscover lost methods used in ancient constructions.
A research team led by Professor Wladek Fuchs is digitally reconstructing Roman structures. Tools like drones and laser scanning are transforming our understanding of their engineering.
Volterra serves as a key site for understanding Roman innovations—its ancient landmarks and the world’s oldest Etruscan arch illustrate this city’s critical role in architecture.
