Italy is investing heavily in preventive archaeology as part of a broader strategy to modernize infrastructure while safeguarding its vast cultural heritage. With more than 3,000 years of layered history beneath its soil, the country faces a constant challenge – how to build new railways, roads, and energy networks without damaging archaeological sites that have yet to be discovered.
A new phase of innovation is emerging through the collaboration between Italferr, the engineering company of the Italian State Railways Group, and GRID, a technology firm specializing in artificial intelligence and geospatial analysis.
