Overview
- Excavations at the Casa del Jazz in Rome have not yet located the sealed gallery’s entrance after mixed georadar readings, with work set to resume Monday.
- The search is a private initiative led by former judge Guglielmo Muntoni within a redevelopment plan for the underground structure, with public-security and heritage officials on site.
- Prosecutor Raffaele Cantone asked the Rome prefect to relay results from the site and said even a single trace of investigative interest would prompt a reopening.
- The property, once Villa Osio owned by Banda della Magliana associate Enrico Nicoletti and confiscated by the state, was converted into the Casa del Jazz in 2005.
- Judge Paolo Adinolfi disappeared on July 2, 1994; the case was archived in 1996 and 2003, though prosecutors maintained attention and previously ordered searches that proved inconclusive.
