ancient olive oil complex tunisia

Archaeologists have unearthed the Roman Empire's second-largest olive oil processing complex in the Kasserine region of Tunisia, near the Algerian border. Co-directed by Ca' Foscari University of Venice, the excavation at the 33-hectare site called Henchir el Begar revealed a monumental torcularium with twelve beam presses, a second eight-press facility, oil mills, cisterns, and a water collection basin. The team also found artifacts including a copper-and-brass bracelet, a limestone projectile, and architectural elements dating from the modern to Byzantine periods. A Latin inscription confirms senatorial approval for a bimonthly market on the land in 138 AD, indicating the site was a hub for social, political, and religious life.

The I.V. Savitsky State Art Museum in Nukus, Uzbekistan, near the former Aral Sea, houses nearly 100,000 works of 20th-century art, including Russian avant-garde pieces and Central Asian folk art. After a 2024 exhibition in Florence and Venice, the museum underwent a major renovation led by Italian academics and new director Gulbahar Izentaeva, reopening with updated galleries and a new exhibition, "The World of Igor Savitsky." The project is backed by the Art and Culture Development Foundation (ACDF), which also launched the inaugural Bukhara Biennial and partnered with Art Basel Paris.
