A visual novel plotline sprung to life:

- Kids at a high school in Rome had been telling each other for decades that there were secret rooms under the school. Teachers laughed it off as playground rumors

- During a protest sit-in, the kids took the opportunity to go where they’re not supposed to go and reported that there were really, definitely secret rooms under the school

- The staff found a mysterious iron door in the basement that apparently no-one knew the purpose of; after getting it open, they found some sort of disused furnace… which opened directly into an entire ancient Roman villa

Scholieren vinden 1800 jaar oude Romeinse villa onder eigen school in Rome

De domus ligt volgens archeologen in een gebied waar grote Romeinse figuren als Augustus, Cicero en Pompeius woonden, maar waar weinig over bekend is.

There are tunnels under the hamlet where I live. No-one knows where they go; the entrance in the garden of the uninhabited house next door was blocked off decades ago after a rockfall. There are tunnels and caves and grottos all around the area, mostly ignored. A couple of Roman ruins have been excavated, but generally nobody is interested, which puzzles me.
