The countdown to Jubilee Year 2025 continues as Rome’s major infrastructural project remains on track, with a recent discovery adding a fascinating layer to the city’s rich history. Despite unearthing important archaeological finds near the Vatican, Rome’s mayor assures that the project is still scheduled for completion in time for the grand event.
During excavations for an underpass in Piazza Pia, archaeologists uncovered the remains of an ancient Roman laundry that dates back to the early imperial age. This incredible find sheds light on the city’s past, revealing a glimpse into daily life in ancient Rome.
Rome mayor Roberto Gualtieri assures that the project’s completion date in December 2024 remains unchanged, emphasizing the importance of balancing progress with preserving the city’s heritage. The ancient ruins will be dismantled and displayed at the nearby Castel S. Angelo, allowing visitors to witness history firsthand.

Italy’s culture minister also expresses support for the project, highlighting the need to find a balance between modernization and heritage conservation.
