On the occasion of the visit, Ambassador Baldocci emphasised how 'Italy in the archaeological field, also thanks to the fundamental contribution of the Farnesina, succeeds in bringing its knowledge, traditions, and skills to many friendly countries, as it does in Saudi Arabia, where it has been present since 2009 on the Dumat al-Jandal site, in a synergy with the Heritage Commission of the Saudi Ministry of Culture'.
"It is our intention," he added, "to reinforce this commitment with an increasingly structured and profiled partnership in Saudi Arabia: a Winter Archaeological School for Saudi students and an exhibition on the results of the Italian Mission's excavation campaigns in recent years will be part of a programme with the Italian Embassy in Riyadh for 2025."
