The project, funded by ARCUS SpA and sostenut or by the Veneto Region and the Municipality of Padua, has as its objective the restoration and enhancement of the ancient Roman road of the second century. BC linking a southern terminus, tentatively identified in Adria passing through the centers of Padua, Altino and Concordia. In Roman times the Via Annia represented a fundamental way of communication between the Po Delta and Aquileia and thanks to an extensive set of secondary links, ensuring a smooth entry to the most important towns in the hinterland . A sort of backbone along which it has developed the identity of the surrounding territories and has played a key role in projecting the Roman culture to the center of Europe. The course, built by the Romans on earlier proto slopes, today is partly traceable to the Triestina road, despite the vicissitudes of weather and landslides late antiquity and early medieval who have cleared the tracks, making for a long time to lose the memory of this important communication.
Enhancing the path of this ancient Roman road that means collecting common thread that unites past and present, the lands of the north-eastern Italian with the heart of Europe. The recovery can only start from all the evidence, often known only by scholars, who speak of the history of the area.
