Pompei ieri e oggi. Ediz. italiana e inglese

The book is dedicated to the new excavations of Pompeii, which have been taking place in the ancient city since 2017. This new phase of research has led to significant discoveries and provided the opportunity to experiment with a new approach to Pompeian archaeological excavation. Through the words of Massimo Osanna, Director General of the Pompeii Superintendency from 2016 to 2020, and the photographic work of Luigi Spina, this volume invites readers to reflect on the extraordinary history of Pompeii. It encourages contemplation of the various aspects of a site that not only initiated European archaeological research into the classical world but also inspired a wide range of human creativity. Pompeii has exerted— and continues to exert—a relentless fascination, influencing countless forms of art and thought, from Canova to Pink Floyd and beyond.
