We are proud to publish Professor Bernard Frischer's op-ed piece on Protecting Hadrian's Villa, an i-petition created by Frischer and sponsored by the American Institute for Roman Culture. In less than a week, we have generated more than 2000 signatures, and are at 3650 signatures and counting.
Hadrian's Villa, the UNESCO World Heritage site near Tivoli is at risk.
Via the American Institute for Roman Culture (AIRC): Please take a look at Dr. Bernard Frischer's plea and i-petition to protect Villa Adriana. Located in Tivoli, Italy, this endangered archaeological site (the creation of a massive landfill a few hundred meters away threatens the site) was once the sprawling villa of the second-century Roman emperor Hadrian.
