Archaeo-mobility. Integrating Archaeological Heritage with Everyday Life

Urban mass-transit infrastructure offers a unique opportunity to integrate archaeological heritage into everyday life, transforming it from static museum displays into dynamic urban resources. Research highlights that while projects like Rome's New Line C and Naples' Municipio station demonstrate advanced methods in excavation planning and architectural integration, many initiatives fail due to bureaucratic or economic hurdles or inadequate heritage management. Italy, with its vast and stratified archaeological heritage, is pioneering these approaches, setting new standards for 'archaeo-mobility.' The study emphasizes the potential of involving urban contexts creatively while addressing challenges in balancing infrastructure needs with cultural preservation.
