According to a report by Mehr, as edited by IFP, the Director General of Iran’s Bureau of International Databases Farhad Azizi said Iran and Italy have been cooperating for more than a year and a half to restore the historical constructions of Pasargadae.

This year, he added, the Italian delegation in collaboration with their Iranian counterparts have started field works to study and protect the palace of Cyrus the Great and Winged Figure.
