Marina De Franceschini: Archaeology and Archaeoastronomy in Ancient Roman Buildings

Join us for a riveting presentation by Marina De Franceschini, archaeologist and independent researcher who will be joining us virtually LIVE from Italy on Saturday, December 4, at 11 am PT. Moderated by Civita Institute Board member Iole Alessandrini, the presentation will highlight her discovery of Archaeoastronomy in the Pantheon in Rome: the extraordinary Arc and the Square of Light, which provides a new way of understanding the function and symbolic meaning of this ancient marvel. Over the centuries, the Pantheon in Rome has been ransacked, shuttered, used as a fortress and a church. It has suffered earthquakes and floods, yet has survived intact and today, after more than two thousand years, the Pantheon remains one of Italy's most viewed monuments from antiquity, with more than 7 million visitors a year.

Join us for this final presentation in our 40th Anniversary Celebration series, moderated by Civita Institute Board Member Iole Alessandrini.
