Beauty and the Volcano - 2022
The collection of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN) constitutes a true compendium of Roman painting documented in the Vesuvian area between the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD.
Through the specimens preserved in the museum it is possible to retrace styles, techniques and themes according to a criterion that favours as much as possible the reconstruction of the original contexts, essentially linked to private homes, today not always legible in situ.
