In 2010 two excavation campaigns were undertaken between June and September. The villa, situated at a short distance from the archaeological site of Saepinum, is known to have been the residence of an illustrious senatorial family, the Neratii who were of great importance for the empire and Samnium.

What remains of the villa is a long substructure in opus reticulatum, some parts of which preserved for a length of about 2 m. The well-built structure was part of a cryptoporticus which functioned as a basis villae.
Four trenches were opened.

In sector C, over 50 stratigraphic units were identified; the stratigraphy seemed to be ‘upside down’ as the classical material was in the upper layers and the post-classical material in the lower ones, with the exclusion of the last layers. The US 49 was of particular interest, it was overlaid by a section of collapsed wall, USM 48, constituted by rectangular stone blocks, tegulae and cubilia forming a small arch from a cuniculus of the type present in praefurnia.

Most of the pottery found below USM 48 dated to the 1st century B.C. and none was later than the mid 1st century A.D.
This confirmed the hypothesis that the villa was preceded by a structure, perhaps smaller, over which a large villa over 200 m wide was then built just before the mid 1st century A.D.
