Hermann Büsing. The volume presents the results of field research, which made it possible to reconstruct the plan and the main building events of the complex, evidence of the centuries-old presence of Roman people in the Polesine area, together with the results of the cataloging and study of the finds, which involved numerous specialists in the work. Some finds, including the funerary equipment of the so-called "Dama di Chiunsano", extraordinary for the richness and heterogeneous origin of the ornamental objects, datable between the second half of the fifth and the beginning of the sixth century AD, testify to an attendance of also located in late antiquity.
