Divers recovered an Ancient Amphora in the sea of the Gulf of Mondello

In the crystal clear waters of Mondello, one of the most picturesque places on the coast of Palermo, an extraordinary event occurred recently. Divers from the State Police conducted a recovery operation that unearthed a treasure that had been submerged for centuries: an ancient amphora.

The ancient amphora was found at a depth of about 10 meters, in an area of special archaeological interest. This exceptional find underscores the historical and cultural richness that lies beneath the surface of the sea that washes the Sicilian coast. The find tells stories of the distant past, when vessels plied these seas following trade routes that have left indelible traces on the Mediterranean seabed.

State Police divers did not just play a supporting role in creating a "safety frame" for the affected area, but accomplished an extraordinary feat by unearthing the ancient amphora. The recovery of the precious find was painstaking and challenging work that required not only technical expertise but also a deep respect for the history that lay beneath the sea.

This find offers a unique opportunity for scholars and archaeology enthusiasts to better understand the lives and activities of ancient civilizations that plied the waters of the Mediterranean.
