The entire area is used as an underground exhibition, following the quantity and importance of the finds that have been discovered and ones that were able to describe the city's development from the II to the XIV century. The definition of the plan was clear on this point: after the necessary analysis the existing buildings were to be underpinned, proceeding with the construction of a new independent structure consisting in a perimetrical wall and intermediary pilasters, supporting a cement coffered large slab, floored with quartz pebbies and with large round windows that were the visual link between the past and the present. The architect summarize as follows: "My decision was to allow archaeology to live together with the city: the emptiness of the round windows makes the spatiality of the find explode upwards while allowing the direct integration of the archaeological space in the contemporary space. It is the city of yesterday that is living in harmony with the city of today"
