The ancient aqueducts of Bologna: new discoveries and new studies. a cura di Francesca Torchi The study of Bologna’s ancient aqueducts recently carried out by the Speleologists of GSB-USB required five years of research. Focus has been put on the most important of these, the Roman Aqueduct of Augustan times that for 2000 years has been watering the city but, partly for this very reason, has never before been the object of a map survey able to highlight the complexity and the beauty of this wondrous huge hydraulic work of ancient times. After the first layout had been completed, many other interventions followed over the centuries, setting up new branches and abandoning stretches belonging to the original route. During restructuring carried out at the end of the 19th century which reopened the aqueduct, the shortest route was chosen. It followed some trunks from Augustan times, alternating with others of a later period. Thus the aqueduct now in use is just a part of a wider complex of underground tunnels and represents its latest historical evolution. Therefore it was necessary to achieve the goal of recovering the other sections chronologically abandoned in order to get as complete an overall view of the whole underground aqueduct system of Bologna as possible. In order to provide the city with spring water, during the 15th and 16th centuries other underground works were built, such as the Fonte Remonda and the Conserva di Valverde, that were grafted onto the last part of the Roman underground tunnel, near the city. These structures, in use for several centuries, were discontinued when the Roman aqueduct resumed its regular work in 1881. Those late Medieval and Renaissance works had to be investigated too, especially to understand their relation with the Roman underground tunnel. Extraordinarily interesting news emerged from this campaign. First of all it was possible to investigate the section of the Galleria Trasversale in Val di Setta (no longer in use), where it was possible to document for the first time the highest upstream stretch of Roman underground tunnel attainable until now. Then, in nearby Albano, in Sasso Marconi, another part of the aqueduct was explored, documented and studied. Here renovation works dating from the late 19th century led to the discovery and reactivation of a new branch used to operate the Albano Mill. This underground channel had been forgotten when the Mill stopped working in the 1950s. The research allowed it to be rediscovered and studied along 1.300 metres. From a historic point of view, this section is an integral part of the original Augustan layout, whereas the one in use today is a variation produced during one of the renovations dating from Roman times. It is worth specifying some data that quantify the results obtained and the commitment needed to attain them. The campaign activity required 185 working days from 80 Speleologists of the Group for a total of 2100 hours. The development of the Roman aqueduct now in use, with its abandoned parts and other accessory hypogea (pits, manways and access galleries), runs a total of 22.56

kilometres, whereas the late Medieval and Renaissance hydraulic works have a development of 23.6 kilometres. Regarding documentation, 3.500 photos were taken and several hours of videorecording were made. The results of the field studies, including a wide examination of printed and handwritten sources kept in the Archiginnasio Library and the State Archive, are accurately explained in a special full-colour issue of 320 pages, published by GSB-USB in June 2010. A touring exhibition was also mounted. It sums up the contents of the research and is made up of 37 roll-ups and a 9-metre long model, reproducing in full-scale 1/1 the three different typologies of the Roman manufacture, built in relation to the kind of terrains crossed by the work: sandstone, cement pozzolanic conglomerate and plastered bricks.
