Welcome to my ancient plumbing blog.

I live in the splendid city of Fermo, as a scholar of hydraulics, in particular the ancient one, I have always been absorbed by the charm and perfection of the technological solutions studied and created by the ancient populations to regulate, collect, transport but above all protect the precious resource: the water!

I hope to intrigue you
