  • 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.

  • Archaeological Park of Herculaneum, Italy, MIBAC
    WHV - Archaeological Park of Herculaneum Archaeological Areas of Pompei, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata, Italy Cultural property inscribed on the World Heritage 31/08/2019–14/09/2019 since 1997 Situated at the foot of Mount Vesuvius and just four miles south of Naples, Herculaneum was once a bustling seaside resort and trading port town. The archaeological area of Herculaneum is considerably smaller than its neighbour Pompeii, but in many ways is a unique place to visit. In fact, while roofs in Pompei collapsed under the weight of falling ash, only a few centimetres of ash fell on Herculaneum, causing little damage. Subsequently, there was a succession of six pyroclastic flows (a mixture of ash and gases), which then solidified. The good state of preservation of the site is due to its rapid filling by these flows, which prevented the buildings from collapsing. As a consequence, at Herculaneum there are many well-preserved buildings, several with the upper stories still intact, and some excellent frescoes and mosaics on both walls and floors to be seen. The pyroclastic flows of high temperature at once carbonized and exceptionally preserved organic matter, giving back to us a unique complex of common everyday objects such as textiles, foodstuffs, wooden furniture, architectural elements, and the hull of a sizable boat. Thus, Herculaneum really gives you an idea of how ancient Romans lived, that is only with difficulty achieved in other centres of the ancient world. Project objectives: The project works to share knowledge about the cultural heritage of the Herculaneum area between the local community and people from all over the world.

  • Abstract Poster 11 Agosto
    Nervous system and arm regeneration in crinoids Aleotti A.1, Elphick M. R.2, Candia Carnevali M. D. 1, Sugni M. 1, Semmens D. C. 2, Odekunle E. A. 2, Cai W. 2, Wademan R. 2, Egertová, M. 2, Ferrario C.1, Bonasoro F.1*. 1Department of Biosciences, University of Milan, Milan, Italy; 2School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, Queen Mary University, London, United Kingdom * [email protected] The crinoid Antedon mediterranea has remarkable regeneration abilities, making it a valuable model for the study of these post-embryonic developmental phenomena. Indeed, it can rapidly and completely regenerate arms, pinnules, cirri and the visceral mass, after autotomy or experimentally induced amputations. During regeneration a variety of neural regulatory molecules (neurotransmitters, neuropeptides and growth factors) are thought to play important signalling roles. Here we have analysed the ultrastructural features and some molecular aspects of the nervous system of A. mediterranea in normal and regenerating arms. Animals were collected from Baia delle Grazie in the Gulf of La Spezia (Ligurian Sea, Italy) and maintained in artificial sea-water. Experimental amputations were carried out mimicking natural conditions and regeneration was examined at early (72h post-amputation (pa)) and advanced stages (up to 4 weeks pa). Some tissue samples were processed for standard histological and ultrastructural studies whereas others were prepared for analysis of neuropeptide expression using mRNA in situ hybridization and immunocytochemical techniques. In crinoid arms the main nervous component is the brachial nerve formed by a medulla mainly composed of neural processes and sparse chains of perikarya and an external cortex of perikarya.

  • Ancient Pompeii Water Supply: Sources, Routes, Hydraulics of the Aqueducts

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.

As local and tourist populations increase around the remaining 67%, so also the need for an appropriate emergency plan becomes more urgent. A cornerstone of such a plan is to ensure that local decision makers are aware of the volcanic hazards that may be faced by their communities. Hence, instead of applying existing plans from another volcano, it is pertinent first to evaluate the impact that these plans have had on local decision makers. This paper reports results from a preliminary evaluation of interviews with decision makers at Vesuvius, in Southern Italy, for which an emergency response plan has been available since 1995. The volcano last erupted in 1944, so that none of the monitoring scientists or civil authorities have direct experience of responding to Vesuvius in eruption.
