During the planned renovations of a prospective Four Seasons hotel, archaeologists made an astounding discovery - the ruins of Nero's Theater, an imperial theater mentioned in ancient Roman literature but never previously uncovered. The hotel is located close to the Vatican City. Since 2020, archaeologists have been conducting extensive excavations within the Palazzo della Rovere's walled garden as part of the building's renovations.
