Les aqueducs de Rome : les activités de la Surintendance capitoline, une contribution essentielle à la recherche by Marina Marcelli, Massimiliano Munzi

“…In addition to the Acqua Felice, built by pope Sixtus V (1585-1590), two still functioning Roman aqueducts were concerned: the Aqua Virgo (19 BC), probably the only ancient aqueduct which, flowing mainly in underground channels, has remained in continuous operation to the present day, and the Aqua Traiana (109 AD), which was reactivated by pope Paulus V in 1612.The complexity of these structures, of considerable height and tens of kilometres long, makes monitoring, protection and conservation particularly difficult.This is why the Municipality of Rome, when drawing up the New Master Plan for the city in the 1960s, included the aqueducts as part of the city's protective cultural heritage. …”
