Finally. The promised restoration project of the Augustan period Pyramid of Cestius has begun, with private Japanese funds. It took 330 days to construct the tomb, says the in situ inscription. Let's see how long it takes to complete the project.

I will be posting photos of the progress on my Instagram account @Saverome, and periodically adding photos to the slideshow below. (Click on each photo to see it in a larger size.)

Update March 21:  Yagi Tsusho Limited has finally placed its name on the pyramid.

Update April 9: Il Lato Segreto della Piramide (the secret side of the pyramid), new sign on pyramid
