Valeria Purcaro (1947-2021): storia di cinquant’anni di ricerche archeologiche in Libia e nelle Marche
No full textOn October 28, 2021, we lost Valeria Purcaro, archaeologist of the Università di Urbino. She was a disciple of Sandro Stucchi, a fellow student of Lidiano Bacchielli, Mario Luni and many other protagonists of the Italian archaeological research in Libya. She dedicated her studies to Cyrene and the Marche region. Concerning Cyrene she was involved principally in the studies of the numerous monuments of the Agora, such as the Temple of Apollo Archegetes; for the Marche, she focused on topics associated with her own city, Fano. For several years after Luni’s death she held the position of director of the Mission of the Università di Urbino in Libya, guaranteeing its continuity and maintaining the bonds of the research group, as well as preserving the relationship with the Department of Antiquities of Libya

No full textThe Archaeological Mission of the University of Urbino in Cirene: A Long History of Italian- Libyan Cooperation in the Discovery and Enhancement of the Archaeological Heritage of Libya · The Archaeological Mission at Cyrene of the University of Urbino was founded in 1957 by Sandro Stucchi, who later moved to La Sapienza University of Rome. It was reborn as an
autonomous mission in 1996 when, in close collaboration with the local Department of Antiquities and under the direction of Mario Luni, it conducted excavations and restorations
in the city (Agora Quarter, particularly in the Hellenistic Gymnasium and the Sanctuary of
the Dioscuri) and in extra-urban sacred areas. Specifically, Luni began the investigation in the Sanctuary of Demeter, with the excavation of the temple, the altar, the propylon, and the theater carved into the rock, and the adjacent Sanctuary of Apollo Apotropaios. The Mission also investigates the rock sanctuary of Slonta and, in 2008, was commissioned to draft the restoration project for the Arch of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus in Tripoli, a symbol of Roman archaeology in ancient Oea. After the events of 2011, it collaborated with the DoA and other missions in activities to combat theillegal trafficking of sculptures from Cyrene and to
monitor clandestine excavation activities
