According to the statement, the team had found the tiles just a few meters below the surface of the vineyard. These mosaics were often used for floor and wall decoration in the Ancient Roman world.
“We believe a cultural site of this value deserves attention and should be enhanced,” Negrar di Valpolicella Mayor Roberto Grison tells L’Arena, as translated by the Guardian. “For this reason, together with the superintendent and those in charge of agricultural funds, we will find a way to make this treasure enjoyable.”

The mosaic has a series of twisted shapes known as “Solomon’s knots,” according to Atlas Obscura. Hopefully, the inscribed octagons and rhomboids can help the experts investigate the identity of the villa.
