In summer, 2002, this project cleared part of the Ambulacrum of the Theater of Pompey under Palazzo Pio near Campo dei Fiori (Rome). Project aims: study and documentation of: a) the plan and new architectural elements from the theater; b) the site's late- and post-antique history as revealed through its pottery and other small finds. After 3-4 field campaigns, the project will conclude with a final study season.

The University of Washington, College of Architecture and Planning, maintains the UW Rome Center, currently quartered in the Palazzo Pio, which sits upon the foundation of the Theater of Pompey.

She is also the architect of their remodeled quarters. In 1995 Professor Zarina received a Graham Foundation grant in the amount of $7,500 for research support on The Theater of Pompey the Great and the Palazzo Pio: Origins and Transformations.
