The mosaic in bright shades of red, pink, orange, purple and yellow appeared to be ‘’in a good state of conservation,’’ from what archaeologists observed after gingerly digging a trench between vineyards in the hills of Valpolicella, Gianni de Zuccato, the official in charge of archaeology in Verona province, said Friday.
Mosaics revealing the site of an ancient villa were first discovered in 1922.
