Il progetto di conservazione, restauro e musealizzazione dei reperti della villa romana di Sant’Imbenia è raccontato dai protagonisti. Un’accurata indagine sui materiali e sulle tracce lasciate dal tempo ha permesso di ricostruire l’impianto decorativo di un ambiente al secondo piano di una ricca domus: frammenti di marmo, stucco e intonaco sono stati restaurati in pavimenti di opus sectile, rivestimenti parietali, decorazioni a rilievo e soffitti con cupole affrescate. L’ipotetica ricostruzione esposta nel Museo della Città, in Alghero, è presentata come logica conclusione del progetto: una stanza “illuminata” da una finestra aperta sull’originario contesto ambientale, a monito e metafora di future ricerche ancora possibili.

The story of the conservation, restoration and museum display of materials from the Roman Villa of Sant’Imbenia is narrated by the project’s key players. The decorative scheme of a space on the second floor of the opulent Roman domus was reconstructed thanks to a thorough investigation into the materials’ nature and history. Marble, stucco and fresco fragments were restored and reassembled to form opus sectile floors, wall veneer, decorative reliefs and ceilings with frescoed cupolae. The interpretative reconstruction, now on display in the Museo della Città in Alghero, is presented as the project’s logical conclusion. The curatorial choice of illuminating the reconstructed room with a window that opens onto the Villa’s original landscape marks the will to leave an open door to future archaeological investigations.
