		The gardens and its accumulated art, the newly built Palazzo Piombino (another of the Boncompagni-Ludovisi family's titles/names), and the by-then-forgotten cryptoporticus were all bought by the Banca d'IItalia and other purchasers in 1892 when Prince Rudolfo Boncompagni-Ludovisi found himself short of cash.
		Excavation and conservation of the cryptoporticus was carried out between 1996 and 1998 in cooperation with the office of Rome's Superintendent of Archeology, under the supervision of world renowned restorers, Paolo and Laura Mora.
