The Conference narrow space could accommodate only three or four tightly Robert Fowler squeezed people at a time. 2. 3. 4. The Suburban Baths 1. The Gardens of the Miglio d’Oro The Friends met 11–13 June for their third gathering in Campania since 2006, in what is now an established biennial tradition. For repeat attenders it felt like a reunion, while at the same time it was gratifying to welcome a good number of newcomers. For the first two meetings we resided in Naples (hence the First and Second ‘Naples’ Congresses), but for this one we moved out to Ercolano itself, a prospect made enticing by the opening of the four-star Miglio D’Oro hotel, a spectacular, done-over 18th-century villa which made up in atmosphere—especially the garden—what it (so far) lacks in abundance of staff (in some areas). The experiment was judged successful both for its convenience and for the benefit we were able to deliver to the local economy, not just the Miglio D’Oro but to B&Bs and local businesses.

The rich natural beauty of Campania makes it highly important in the tourism industry. Campania was a full- fledged part of the Roman Republic by the end of the 4th centu- ry BC, valued for its pastures and rich countryside. Naples, with its Greek language and customs, made it a cen- ter of Hellenistic culture for the Romans, creating the first traces of Greco-Roman culture, the area had many duchies and principalities during the Middle Ages, in the hands of the Byzantine Empire (also re- populous in the European Union. The region is home ferred to as the Eastern Roman Empire) and to 10 of the 55 UNESCO sites in Italy, like Pompeii and Herculaneum, the Royal Palace of Caserta, the Amalfi Coast and the Historic Centre of Naples. Moreover, Mount Vesuvius is part of the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves. Coastal areas in the region were colonized by the Ancient Greeks between the 8th and 7th centu- ries BC, becoming part of the so-called Magna Græcia.

  • Great Pompeii Project
    Archaeological Area of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata, Italy, n. 829 1. Executive summary of the report Soon after the collapse of the Schola Armaturarum, UNESCO carried out several missions, involving ICOMOS and UNESCO experts, at the sites of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata, specifically on 2-4 December 2010 and 10 – 13 January 2011, on 7-10 January 2013 and 8-12 November 2014. These inspections led to the formulation of a set of recommendations, which have ultimately been summarised in decision 39 COM 7B, adopted at the 39th meeting of the World Heritage Committee, to which this report is a reply. Over the years, many steps forward have been made in the conservation and management of the property. Regarding the Grande Progetto Pompeii (Great Pompeii Project), the State Party has ensured its continuation with a further European financing of 45 M€ and by maintaining the General Project Management organisation and the Great Pompeii Unit until 31 December 2019. A further two items of funding have been received: 40 M€ from the Italian government and 75 M€ from the Special Superintendency of Pompeii, which has been granted financial, administrative and management autonomy. The more recent inspection by UNESCO/ICOMOS identified 5 buildings at risk in the site of Pompeii: Casa dei Casti Amanti, Casa delle Nozze d’argento, Schola Armaturarum, Casa di Trebius Valens and Casa dei Ceii. Conservation interventions were then planned for all these buildings, which, to date, are either still underway or have been completed, or which will soon start. Almost all the legal problems that prevented the start of the works have been solved and now it will be possible to carry out the safety works on and restore the structures of the Schola Armaturarum; open the Antiquarium to the public; and continue the improvement works on the Casina dell’Aquila.

  • The Augustan Aqueduct of Capua and Its Historical Evolution
    The Augustan Aqueduct of Capua and its Historical Evolution G. Libertini*, B. Miccio**, N. Leone*** and G. De Feo**** * Independent Researcher, 80023, via Cavour 13, Caivano (Na), Italy ** Senior official of ABC Acquedotto di Napoli, 80131, via O. Morisani 28, Napoli (Na), Italy *** Independent Researcher, 80038, via Locatelli 79, Pomigliano d’Arco (Na), Italy **** Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Salerno, 84084, via Giovanni Paolo II 132, Fisciano (Sa), Italy (Corresponding Author) (E-mail: [email protected] ) Abstract Augustus built at his own expense an aqueduct, known as Aqua Iulia , for Capua , located in today’s Campania region of Southern Italy, which was in Roman times one of the most important civitas of the empire. The course of this aqueduct and of its likely branches destined to two small towns, Saticula and Calatia , is hypothesized, in part based on the re-use, in the seventeenth century, of about 8 miles of the ancient aqueduct for another water supply to serve Naples, namely the Carmignano aqueduct. Then, it is described the subsequent transformation, in the eighteenth century, of the new water supply along a new route at a higher altitude, in a third water supply to serve the Bourbon royal palace of Caserta, a magnificent construction built in the same years. In short, the historical evolution of the Augustan aqueduct of Capua is discussed in the framework of the served communities and of the organization and history of the territory crossed, so showing the richness of information that may be obtained by an integrated study of the transformation over time of an important water infrastructure.

  • Superb Naples, a Journey Through Twenty-Seven Centuries of History and Culture
    4 JANUARY 2017 CATERINA POMINI 3858 SUPERB NAPLES, A JOURNEY THROUGH TWENTY-SEVEN CENTURIES OF HISTORY AND CULTURE Summarizing a city like Naples in just one article is quite challenging. Founded by the ancient Greeks in the 6th century BC, the capital of Campania is so old, large and filled with amazing sights that it's almost impossible to make a complete list of things to see and do. We did our best, so we hope that the information provided will help you enjoy your visit. A popular travel destination since the time of the Grand Tour of Europe, Naples is mainly synonymous with impressive archaeological treasures, superb architecture and mouth-watering food. Anarchic but breathtaking, Italy's third-largest city boasts a historic centre that is studded with Medieval, Baroque and Renaissance buildings and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. Furthermore, the capital of Campania is home to one of the oldest universities in the world ( University of Naples – Federico II), the artistic tradition of Capodimonte porcelain and numerous theatres where – during the Late Baroque period – opera seria and opera buffa had their origins. Certainly, at first glance, this city can look shabby and neglected; but if you look beyond the veneer, you will discover a place of unexpected charm and beauty. A (very) brief history of Naples Prior to becoming a Roman colony (326 BC), Naples had been a Greek settlement. According to legend, Greek sailors from Rhodes first established a small commercial port on the former island of Megaride, where Castel dell'Ovo now stands.

  • 1. Proposed City Location Naples
    1. PROPOSED CITY LOCATION NAPLES . 1. PROPOSED CITY LOCATION WHY WTC 2019 IN NAPLES A UNIQUE LOCATION FULLY IN LINE WITH THE ITALIAN LIFESTYLE Naples presents important underground works which were recently constructed in unique and complex geological situations, and which serve as impressive examples of the manner in which important and attractive underground works can be built. NEAPOLITAN UNDERGROUND STRUCTURES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED SINCE 470 BC First transformations of the ground morphology were carried out by the Greeks in 470 BC, paving the way to the today's fascinating underground Naples. These transformations consisted in the creation of underground cisterns for the collection of rainwater. They were also used for the recovery of construction material for the Naples' buildings (Naples Yellow Tuff). During the centuries the expanding city brought about the construction of a proper aqueduct for the collection and distribution of drinking water using several reservoirs connected by a tunnel network . During the Roman domination the aqueduct was enlarged and finalized; furthermore, in the period between the civil war of Octavian and Pompei (37 BC) and the Augustan age, "new generation" tunnels were also built. Underground road engineering had innovative features when compared to previous 24 NAPLES . operations, further developing technique consolidated in the past underground hydraulics. For example, tunnels for military use built between Portus lulius and the Cumaean Port were later converted to civilian use. The sheer number of tunnels excavated in these areas enabled almost standard design and executive methods which were only superseded by the innovations in the modern era. During the Angievin dynasty (13 th century) the city expanded further and this resulted in increased quantity of tuff extracted from the ground for the construction of new buildings.
