A network of tunnels and passageways has been discovered by the caver Marco Placidi’s team, beneath the Hadrian’s Villa in Tivoli, 15 miles east of Rome.
Recently, Placidi’s team discovered a new 19 feet wide tunnel, wide enough to allow for two-way traffic, making it the widest of all previously discovered tunnels. Debris made access to the hidden tunnel difficult, so the group used a remote controlled camera attached to a robot in order to explore it. The construction of the Villa dates back to 118 A.D. Although the palace is damaged 'the villas’s grandeur is reflected undergound' said Marco Placidi.
