Fabbri (Tor Vergata): “With Torre Vergata and Villa Gentile, the history of the Roman suburbs re-emerges”

“The position – in which the Casale di Villa Gentile is located, where our museum is located, is quite atypical: in fact, it stands on a Roman villa. Today we know that it incorporates monumental remains of a medieval tower, which is documented by historical maps dating back to the 16th-17th century and which is surrounded by the outskirts of the contemporary city. Therefore, it is a place where we can tell our story and the story of the people who live, inhabit and frequent the areas of Tor Vergata and our suburbs, which are crossed without any awareness of past Roman history, the suburb was densely and densely populated, as if it were a contemporary metropolis”, he concludes.
