Nell’occasione visita guidata all’Osservatorio. -FUTURO REMOTO 2014 CACCIA AL LIBRO L’associazione LUX in FABULA presenta la sua nuova iniziativa, legata al tema della lettura, dal titolo «Caccia al libro»: essa consiste in una vera e propria caccia al libro in cui si nasconde una busta contenente un premio. Può partecipare chiunque ne abbia voglia e il fortunato che troverà la busta beneficerà del premio contenuto al suo interno. Questa iniziativa è frutto della collaborazione con diverse librerie e biblioteche, sia pubbliche sia private, sparse sul territorio che va dai Campi Flegrei fino alla città di Napoli. Lo scopo principale è quello di promuovere l’importanza della lettura: il premio, infatti, esprime simbolicamente un vero tesoro "nascosto" che si cela tra le pagine dei libri, fonte di un insostituibile bagaglio di conoscenze ed esperienze intellettive. In un'era dove tutto è sempre più digitalizzato, l'iniziativa mira anche a riscoprire il fascino del libro cartaceo e il gusto che c'è nel contatto tattile con la carta stessa. Essa, inoltre, mira a far conoscere i vari centri letterari presenti sul territorio e a rimarcarne anche la loro funzione aggregativa.

Discovering, through promotional events dedicated to geo-tourism, where, when and why phenomena and places are expressions of the Geological Heritage, is the focus of this second session of our Conference. These phenomena are with full rights in the Cultural Heritage of our country not only due to regulatory law but also to the included participation of the geological heritage into our collective and individual identity. Such an heritage must be protected, preserved and known in its excellence spots, but especially loved as it is loaded with an immaterial and symbolic responsibility, an heritage to respect like our own home for the benefit of future generations. Damage and/or loss of each of the elements that form the “Geological heritage” alters forever the possibility of understanding and interpretation. Geology, memory of natural processes, must find ways to convey the complex four-dimensional perspective, where time and space are witnessing climates, environments and different phenomena.

  • Pompeii and the Roman Villa
    Pompeii and the Roman Villa ART AND CULTURE AROUND THE BAY OF NAPLES __________________________________________________________________________________________________ HE ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHER EPICURUS STATED: “PLEASURE IS THE BEGINNING and end of living happily.” This statement rang true for prominent Romans who spent their leisure time in luxurious villas and houses in the towns of TPompeii, Herculaneum, and other ancient Roman towns that were centers of activity along the Bay of Naples in the first century BC and the first century AD. Epicurus’s philosophy appealed to many Romans who retreated to their country homes in the spring and summer months to enjoy a respite from their working lives in Rome. Pompeii, in the region of Campania, retained its Greek culture and character after becoming a Roman colony in 80 BC. The Romans considered Greece a source of culture, beauty, and wisdom, and knowledge of Greek culture was a status symbol that signaled refinement and education. Greek influence pervaded the decor of Roman residences around the Bay of Naples and was reflected in the works of art both acquired and emulated by Roman patrons. Some Romans, when on vacation, even wore Greek dress—such as a chiton for men or a peplos for women—rather than the standard toga of the day. These curriculum materials explore the cultural and artistic life in Pompeii and other towns around the Bay of Naples in the centuries leading up to the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79. Two works of art, the mosaic Plato’s Academy (1st century BC–1st century AD) and the fresco Garden Scene (1st century BC–1st century AD), are examples of the embellishments applied to the gardens and interiors of Pompeian villas.

  • Pompeii & Naples
    POMPEII & NAPLES BAY: ANCIENT ROMAN WATER SUPPLIES & WATER USE REPORT OF FIELD OBSERVATIONS ‐ SEPTEMBER 2016 Wayne Lorenz i PREFACE The Wright Paleohydrological Institute (WPI) has been researching the Aqua Augusta, the ancient Roman aqueduct that served the Naples Bay region of Italy, including the ancient City of Pompeii, and water use in the city. A few facts regarding the aqueduct and related water systems provide some background to this report. First, ancient Pompeii can justifiably be identified as the most famous archaeological site in the world (Berry, 2007), likely due to its preservation under about 3 to 12 meters (10 to 40 feet) of volcanic ash after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79. It was here that the modern study of “archaeology” began when the city started to be unearthed over 250 years ago. It is interesting to note that Pompeii is about 75 percent excavated and has revealed many unique details of Roman culture and technology. The archaeological areas of Pompeii, (as well as Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata) were listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites in 1997. The historic center of Naples is also a UNESCO site. The engineering and construction of the Aqua Augusta (also known as the Serino Aqueduct) provided a fresh water supply to communities and fostered economic development in the Naples Bay region during the first century A.D. The aqueduct supplied Pompeii and at least 9 other distinct communities, plus multiple villas, in the Bay of Naples through a system of ten side branches. This seems to have been the most complex single aqueduct ever built by the Romans (Keenan-Jones, 2010).

  • Volcanic Eruptions Damned the River with Deposits of Ash, Called Tuffs6
    volcanic eruptions damned the river with deposits of ash, called tuffs6, and changed its course. Both of the volcanic fields, the Sabatini to the northwest and the Alban hills to the southeast, played important roles in creating the terrain; plateaus pinching the Tiber floodplain and creating high ground for Rome (Heiken, Funiciello & De Rita, 2005:11). Despite the advantageous location, Rome is still susceptible to flooding due to the large drainage area of the Tiber. The climate from the end of the republic, throughout the years of the Empire, up to perhaps between 800 and 1200 A.D., was warmer and drier than later years. During the wet period between 1310 and 1320 A.D., and the so-called "little ice age" of 1500 to 1800 A.D., Rome was more susceptible to flooding (Lamb, 1995). This is perhaps a good thing, as repeated natural destruction of the city may have had a large influence on the superstitious Roman mind, providing "evidence" for the displeasure of the gods, and perhaps the resulting abandonment of the site. The Alban hills are approximately 50 kilometres in diameter with an elevation of nearly 1000 metres above sea level, and span the coastal plain between the Apennines and the sea. The summit is broad and dominated by a caldera, which has mostly been covered with material from later volcanoes. The slopes were once covered with oak, hazel and maple trees. Archaeolog- ical evidence from around the edges of the Nemi and Albano lakes indicate that the area has been occupied since the Bronze Age.

In particular, the main focus of the research was to perform a study of the topography between Avella and Pompeii by means of field GPS investigations to validate the hypothesis of the existence of an own aqueduct of Pompeii coming from the mountains due north east of Avella. When the Aqua Augusta was built under Augustus (between 33 and 12 B.C.), it crossed the course of the older Avella aqueduct between the Apennines and Mount Vesuvius, and both aqueducts were united into a single system. Based on historical accounts, archeological sites, chemical/mineralogical analysis, and topographical study we conclude that the existence of an Avella Aqueduct that carried water from the Avella springs to Pompeii prior to the construction of the Aqua Augusta is highly likely.

  • The Fifth Season of Excavations at VIII.7.1-15 and the Porta Stabia at Pompeii: Preliminary Report
    The Journal of Fasti Online ● Published by the Associazione Internazionale di Archeologia Classica ● Piazza San Marco, 49 – I-00186 Roma Tel. / Fax: ++39.06.67.98.798 ● http://www.aiac.org; http://www.fastionline.org The Fifth Season of Excavations at VIII.7.1-15 and the Porta Stabia at Pompeii: Preliminary report Steven J.R. Ellis and Gary Devore The Pompeii Archaeological Research Project: Porta Stabia (PARP:PS) recently completed its fifth campaign of excavations during which seven trenches were excavated across the extent of VIII.7.1-15. This fifth season built upon the success of previous seasons by further developing the full occupational sequence for this insula and its surroundings. With 30 trenches excavated so far, we are able to detect related physical and stratigraphic associations across the site to establish a detailed and highly nuanced phase plan for the entire insula. A more general picture can be charted from that detailed phase plan. The earliest structures appeared in the 4th century BCE, the evidence for which is extremely ephemeral owing to the almost wholesale destruction of them in the mid 2nd century BCE. There may have been a much earlier abandonment of those 4th century BCE structures during a rather long hiatus of activity before the resumption of human occupation close to 200 years later. The redevelopment of the area can be directly tied to the overall escalation of urban activities at Pompeii in the 2nd century BCE, which was doubtless caused by – or at least related to – the influx of wealth following the sack of Corinth in 146 BCE.
