DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Contracts T2 and T3 of the new Line C of Roma underg
 round are under construction in the historical centre of the city\, in an 
 area of great archaeological\, historical and artistic value.  Significant
  problems connected to the presence of archaeological remnants\, the geote
 chnical characteristics of the soil\, excavation below the water table\, a
 nd the necessity of minimising the effects on the historical and monumenta
 l heritage subsist. This presentation illustrates the methods adopted to e
 valuate the effects of tunneling and open excavation on the existing monum
 ents and historical buildings\, with particular reference to contract T2.
