L'anfiteatro di Durazzo: dal rilievo integrato al restauro, per la valorizzazione di un'architettura archeologica

The paper presents the interdisciplinary studies conducted on the Durres Amphitheatre between 2004 and 2015 by the team of the University of Parma, as part of the “Durrës Project”, initiated by Sara Santoro in 2003, and of the Internationalization project, launched in 2005 in cooperation with the Polytechnic of Tirana and related to the “Survey of the Amphitheatre of Durres: knowledge of a monument for the valorisation of world cultural heritage”. In the missions conducted, which involved over the years numerous undergraduate and PhD students, the integrated surveys were performed on archaeological, architectural and urban excavations. Afterwards, based on the data collected, the thematic readings of the conditions of material and structural degradation and a critical analysis of the previous restoration interventions were achieved. This knowledge phase provided the necessary basis to develop guidelines aimed at the conservation of the monument and identifying the most urgent securing interventions.
