A team of architects and civil engineers of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) along with the Supervisory Committee of the Institute of Venice which is appointed by the Foreign Ministry are racing against time and under extreme weather conditions to preserve and protect the historic Greek cemetery and church of Livorno, in the Italian region of Tuscany, ANA reports.
The members of the delegation will work with the Italian authorities to build a special roof over the church at the old Greek cemetery of Livorno in order to protect the monument, which faces the risk of collapse. A University of Thessaloniki team surveying the site earlier in October has found that part of the church’s roof has already fallen down from the weight of collected rainwater.
