A team of Iranian and Italian experts
have discussed possible methods to restore Pasargadae in Iran's southern
Fars Province.

Experts from the Italian Ministry for Cultural
Heritage and Activities joined their Iranian counterparts at a
conference held by Iran's Parsa and Pasargadae Research Center last
week, CHN reported.

The Italian Institute for Africa and Orient
(IsIAO) is currently studying ways to restore the Persian capital of
Persepolis.

Established in 1995 by the merger of Istituto
Italiano per il Medio ed Estremo Oriente (IsMEO) and the Italian-African
Institute of IIA, IsIAO is only one of the many groups which have
conducted studies and excavations at Achaemenid sites in Iran.

Iranian
experts completed a series of restoration projects on the Cyrus Tomb in
Pasargadae in Nov. 2008.
