:08:12
Can I shoot a bit of it?
:08:14
Go ahead, if you like.

A perfectly preserved mammoth's tusk.
:08:20
We discovered it during construction
of the Piazza Re di Roma station.
:08:23
The Capitoline Museum
has already asked for it.
:08:25
Shall we go down?
This way, please.

The ground beneath Rome
is unpredictable.
:09:15
Every hundred meters,
we come across some important fiind.
:09:23
Naturally, this slows up the work.
:09:26
This is a very diffiicult contract.
:09:28
We merely wanted to resolve
the traffiic problem...
:09:32
with a subway
like Munich's or Dublin's...
:09:36
but here the ground
has eight strata...
:09:39
and we're forced
to become archaeologists.
:09:45

of a subway for Rome...
:09:49
was discussed was in 1871 .
:09:52

unpredictable than Roman soil.
:09:59
The paperwork which has passed
between ourselves...
