Publisher Synopsis
Never before has via dell'Abbondanza - or any Roman street for that matter - been photographed with such precision or completeness. It was a 5-year project conducted by skilled photographers who share both a love for Pompeii and an understanding that the information held in its ruins is unalterably becoming lost over time. Their methods should serve as a model and inspiration for future photographic projects. -- Kevin Dicus University of Oregon * Journal of Roman Archaeology Volume 31 26 October 2018 * ...The book and its companion website are a welcome addition to Pompeian studies and will appeal to Roman archaeologists, students of classical antiquity, architectural historians, as well as the more curious tourist interested in having professional photographs of Pompeii's urban landscape. -- Matthew Selheimer, University of Leicester * Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2018.04.03 * Via dell'Abbondanza is THE iconic road of Pompeii, trudged by generations of tourists and researchers. This book captures the road as never before, both by meticulous documentation, and by enthusiasm and empathy for what a road can offer. The photogrammetric reconstruction of facades in Pompeii takes not only the accuracy, but the aesthetic pleasure of documentation of the Roman city to a new level.This book is a major addition to our understanding of Pompeii.Professor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, University of Cambridge -- Professor Andrew Wallace-Hadrill This book presents a unification of two components: an emotional one encompassing careful and innovative documentation of the original facades of the ancient buildings, and a scientific one involving advanced surveying technology, the results of which may be of interest to archaeologists, architects, restorers, and students of antiquity.Professor Pietro Giovanni Guzzo, Archaeological Superintendent of Naples and Pompeii (1995-2009) -- Professor Pietro Giovanni Guzzo, Archaeological Superintendent of Naples and Pompeii (1995-2009) Read more...
