Marbles, statues, and columns crossed the Mediterranean for centuries. Under the waves of the sea lies an immense museum! The water is the guardian of innumerable examples of marble and stone material left behind by cosmic events that preceded the appearance of man on earth, material that is considered to be among of the most precious works from the civilizations of the past: sarcophagi, unworked blocks, columns, and marble carvings destined for villas, temples, and public buildings.  These marvelous works by ancient sculptors went to the bottom of the sea together with the ships that carried them. The sea has swallowed up entire cities, with their houses, their streets, and their statues.

International Festival of Archaeological F

We follow the history of the extraction, transport and the uses of marble in ancient times, through the exploration of ancient shipwrecks, submerged cities, and adventures of modern archaeology. The journey of marble begins in the caves on the Greek shores, and leads us to the discovery of the submerged city of Kekova (Turkey) and of the ancient Lycian civilization; in the underwater wrecks carrying marble statues, columns, sarcophagus (the name is a translation from the Greek meaning flesh consuming stone), up to  the   ancient   port  of Rome ("Marmorata") and finally to the   most  spectacular  monuments  of  the  Roman   era
