Antiquarium Alda Levi
Antiquarium Alda Levi stands in Milan, Italy, inside a former monastery near the remains of a Roman amphitheatre. Its rooms connect the city’s modern streets with an ancient arena that once shaped this part of Milan.
Built in the first century AD, the amphitheatre ranked among Italy’s largest, surpassed only by those in Rome and Capua. Gladiatorial contests, animal hunts and naval battles once filled its vast structure. Medieval earthenware and gladiator armour now reveal different chapters of the surrounding site. A stele dedicated to Gladiator Urbicus gives one human face to that distant world.
Outside, Roman Arena Park offers green space beside the archaeological remains. Multimedia stations bring the amphitheatre’s history into view, while the wider project links several historic areas across Milan.
