The bridge of the Badia in Vulci. History, survey plan and structural restoration
In 2012, some particularly intense flooding of the River Fiora damaged the bridge of the Badia in the Archaeological Park of Vulci, which lies between Canino and Montalto di Castro. The flood damaged the riverbed structure, carrying away portions of wall at the base of the right pillar, and dragging them downstream. The remaining sections of the pillar are now smaller and the wall connections have been badly affected. In particular, the flood’s violence “tore off” the protective external layer, making the pillar more vulnerable to further deterioration.
