The time machine

Italy is rich in places where history seems to be still part of the present, because traces and monuments which have been preserved until today keep on telling of it. One of the sites is near Benevagienna, where the remains of the ancient Roman city of Augusta Bagiennorum, dating back to the 2nd century b.C., have been under archaeological preservation since 1933.
At the moment new research activities are being carried out on site by Dr. Maria Cristina Preacco, a member of the regional board of the ministry of cultural heritage for Piedmont, as well as of the Egyptian Museum.
Archaeologists are helped by a Multifarmer 30.9 Classic2 equipped with suspensions on the telescopic boom.
So far its features have proven ideal to handle the boxes containing valuable finds with great accuracy and care, and to transfer them without any jerks and jolts to the area where they are collected and catalogued.
The telescopic handler has never entered the excavation areas, since its impressive forward reach has always allowed it to operate from outside.
