Two events not to be missed!

Next weekend we will celebrate European Researchers’ Night and the project UndergroundMed will be presented in two different events.

On the 26th of September, let’s join together at st Agatha’s Catacombs in Rabat for Rediscovering Agatha!

The catacombs of St Agatha in Rabat have been a topic of interest since the 17th century. The tunnels, crypt, and paintings from different periods have always attracted the attention of scholars, travellers, curious individuals, and devotees.

Rediscovering Agatha, organised as part of the European Researchers’ Night 2025, will retrace the stages of the rediscovery of the catacombs of St Agatha and the role of foreign archaeologists in the investigation process. The research currently underway and the future of the site will also be presented.

On the 27th of September, instead, I will showcase the project at the EU Corner in the big fair Science in the City in Valletta!

Project results: latest publications

After the summer break, the first two months of this academic year have been devoted to results dissemination. I will dedicate a separete blog post to online or on-person activities (stay tuned!), but first I would like to share the latest publications regarding the LIT! project. All in open access!

On October the 5th, the volume 32 of the Anales de Historia del Arte came out with the title Arte y Archivo. I contributed with the article “Catacumbas en museos: archivos documentales y fotográficos para la historia de la museografía” (“Catacombs in Museums: Archival Texts and Photos for the History of Museums”).

The contribution “Father Delattre’s Correspondence and the History of Christian Archaeology in the Maghreb: His Correspondence with Giovanni Battista de Rossi in 1885” is a much loved one for me, and came out on the 21st of October in the 2022 anniversary issue of the Moroccan journal Hespéris-Tamuda “Practicing Archaeology in the Maghreb: Historical Perspectives and Contemporary Realities / pratiquer l’archéologie au Maghreb: Perspectives historiques et réalités contemporaines“.

In the September/October issue of the local magazine Esglesia de Tarragona came out a short article of mine regarding the connection between Christian archaeology in Tarragona and in Rome. Check it out here: https://www.esglesiadetarragona.cat/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/R328.pdf

Bonus: my latest article about German researchers in the early Christian Catacombs of Malta finally saw the light this September. I wrote this article during the first months of the pandemic outbreak and I am very fond of it. It was published in the Römische Quartalschrift Band 117, Heft 1-2.
