Settefinestre

Settefinestre is best known for the site of late Republican Roman slave-run villa that was excavated in 1976–81. It lies between Capalbio and Orbetello in Tuscany, Italy. It was one of the first large Roman villas to be excavated and thoroughly published, and the exemplary archaeological excavations were a starting point for the new phase of science-supported field archaeology in Italy that led to a more detailed study of the occupation history of the Roman countryside and moved beyond the antiquarian tradition of villa studies. It is also important as an example of the villas described in the ancient texts of Varro and Columella.
