Man Intent on Fixing Toilet Uncovers Centuries-Old Subterranean World Beneath his Basement

An Italian man’s dream to open a modest restaurant became an archaeological obsession when he broke ground in order to repair a faulty toilet. The underground world filled with centuries of history he found beneath his building would dominate his life for more than a decade.

In 2000, Luciano Faggiano faced plumbing and sewage issues on the property he had purchased in order to start a trattoria, a casual eating establishment, in Lecce, Italy. Figuring it would be a quick fix, he opted to find and repair the trouble himself, with the help of his two older sons. Digging beneath the building, the family soon discovered a subterranean world, “tracing back before the birth of Jesus: a Messapian tomb, a Roman granary, a Franciscan chapel and even etchings from the Knights Templar. His trattoria instead became a museum, where relics still turn up today,” writes an article in The New York Times.

Lecce, and Italy in general, is rich with history. Described as a layered cake of ancient civilizations and empires stacked one atop the other, the history of the area can be found just under its cobblestone and modern paved surfaces. Relics and artifacts are revealed frequently, whether from a farmer’s fields or under a city parking lot. Such discoveries are exciting additions to the shared collection of Italy’s past, but the historical finds also slow or cancel modern construction plans like subway systems or building improvements, causing headaches for city planners and builders.

3. Why doesn't this ever happened to me?

If I started digging I would probably find a limestone cavern, just ready to collapse and form a sinkhole.


See DUmmie, the reason this kind of thing never happens to you is because you don't DO anything.  Therein lies 90% of liberal problems.  After you get nothing for your zero investment, you want someone else to give to you what they earned.  That is the definition of GREED.

Libs are waiting for the day their ship comes in.
They won't build a dock for it mind you.
So that leaves the ship out at anchor.
So they will never sail happily ever after into the sunset.
Unless they are willing to get to swimming.
When libs swimming out to their ship that's coming in starts happening, I am going to open a chum store.

Well, for starters, you don't live in Italy...

I have a 100 year old brick lined cesspool. Suffice it to say (thanks Nads!), I know exactly what's in it and I ain't digging into it!  :puke:

I have dug those, and found some really cool stuff in them.  It's not for everybody, though.  :-)

Several years back I was talking to one of the members of the local historical societies. He was explaining to me that they were currently trying to find the location of one of our "lost" towns and that they had already located one "lost" town in the area. I asked how they knew they were in the right spot when they went looking. He said they dug around and tried to find a "privy" because they threw all kinds of stuff into it that could provide clues.
