All
Luciano
Faggiano
wanted
when
he
purchased
the
seemingly
unremarkable
building at 56 Via Ascanio Grandi, was to open a restaurant. The only problem was
the
toilet. Sewage
kept
backing
up.
So
Mr.
Faggiano
enlisted
his
two
older
sons
to
help him dig a trench and investigate. He predicted the job would take about a week.

“We
found
underground
corridors
and
other
rooms,
so
we
kept
digging,”
said
Mr.
Faggiano,
60.
His
search
for
a
sewage
pipe,
which
began
in
2000,
became
one
family
’s tale of discovery.

Lecce
was
once
a
critical
crossroads
in
the
Mediterranean.
Severo
Martini,
a
member of the City Council, said archaeological relics turn up on a regular basis
—

and can present a headache for urban planning. A project to build a shopping mall had
to be redesigned after the discovery of an ancient Roman temple beneath the site of a
planned parking lot.
One
week
quickly
passed,
as
father
and
sons
discovered
a
tomb
of
the
Messapians,
who
lived
in
the
region
centuries
before
the
birth
of
Jesus.
Soon,
the
family discovered a chamber used to store grain by the ancient Romans.
If this history only later became
clear, what was immediately
obvious was that
finding the pipe would be a much bigger project than Mr. Faggiano had anticipated.
He did not initially tell his wife about the extent of the work. He tied a rope around
the
chest
of
his
youngest
son,
Davide,
then
12,
and
lowered
him
to
dig
in
small,
darkened openings. “I made sure to tell him not to tell his mama,” he said. His wife,
Anna
Mari
a
Sanò,
soon
became
suspicious.
“We
had
all
these
dirty
clothes,
every
day,” she said. “I didn’t understand what was going on.”

After watching the Faggiano men haul away debris in the back seat of the family
car,
neighbors
also
became
suspicious
and
notified
the
authorities.
Investigators
arrived
and
shut
down
the
excavations,
warning
Mr.
Faggiano
against
operating
an
unapproved
archaeological
work
site.
Mr.
Faggiano
responded
that
he
was
just
looking for a sewage pipe.
A
year
passed.
Finally,
Mr.
Faggiano
was
allowed
to
resume
his
pursuit
of
the
sewage pipe on condition that heritage officials observed the work. An underground
treasure
house
emerged,
as
the
family
uncovered
ancient
vases,
Roman
devotional
bottles,
an
ancient
ring
with
Christian
symbols,
medieval
artifacts,
hidden
frescoes
and
more.
Today,
the
building
is
Museum
Faggiano,
an
independent
archaeological
museum authorized by the Lecce government.
Mr. Faggiano is now satisfied with his museum, but he has not forgotten about
the restaurant. A few
years into his excavation, he finally found his sewage pipe. It
was, indeed, broken. He has since bought another building and is again planning for a
restaurant, assuming it does not need any renovations. “I still want it,” he said of the
