Students Uncover Spectacular Roman Villa Beneath Their School Gym

Arched doorways and colorful frescoes inside the Domus Liceo Cavour beneath the school gym

For years, students at a high school near the Colosseum in Rome whispered about secret rooms hidden beneath their gymnasium. What started as a school rumor has now been confirmed as an astonishing archaeological reality. After teenagers decided to investigate the subterranean spaces themselves, they stumbled upon an exceptionally well-preserved mid-second century AD Roman luxury home, now known as the Domus Liceo Cavour.

The discovery began in 2021 during a student protest when teenagers occupied the Liceo Scientifico Cavour building. During their unsupervised time, some students found a key to a locked iron door in the basement. Beyond a disused boiler room, they squeezed through a narrow gap and found themselves in ancient, dimly lit corridors adorned with colorful frescoes and intricate mosaics.

When the protest ended, the students informed their history and Latin teacher, Claudia Marino. Intrigued, she investigated the claims and was stunned to find genuine Roman ruins. Marino reported the find to the Special Superintendency of Rome, which eventually launched a $350,000 excavation and restoration project funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) in early 2026.
