The Board and Trustees of the American Friends of Herculaneum are pleased to announce that the competition for AFoH Scholarships is now open.<br />
<br />
Since 2015 the AFoH has awarded annual scholarships to undergraduates ($1500) and graduate/post-doc students ($2500) who are engaging the scholarship of ancient Herculaneum. 2019 winners were Daniel Healey, PhD candidate (Princeton) studying archaistic statuary styles manifest at Pompeii and Herculaneum, and Claudio Vergara, an undergraduate at the Federico II University of Naples who is undertaking a digital reworking of H. Usener's monumental <i>Glossarium Epicureum</i>. As previous recipients of the award have done, Vergara and Healey published reports of their work in <i>Herculaneum Archaeology</i>, the semiannual publication of the Friends of Herculaneum (Oxford).<br />
<br />
The AFoH scholarships are intended to support research on topics related to Herculaneum (preferably) or other related ancient sites around the Bay of Naples. Eligible topics include, but are not limited to archaeology, architecture, art history, conservation, history, historiography, papyrology, philology, and so forth.<br />
<br />
AFoH scholarships are open to undergraduate and graduate students from all backgrounds. Minority and disadvantaged students are encouraged to apply.<br />
<br />
Applicants must be members of the AFoH at the time of application; the recipient should remain a member at least until the end of the scholarship period. See <a href="http://herculaneumfriends.org/">herculaneumfriends.org</a> for information about joining the society.<br />
<br />
Each applicant should submit a letter of application to AFoH President, Professor Carol Mattusch: mattusch@gmu.edu. The best letters will describe the proposed project in detail, including dates and a tentative budget, clearly explaining how the funds will be used. Supporting documentation is welcome, but not necessary.<br />
<br />
A letter from an advisor or supervisor should be sent directly to Prof. Mattusch at the same email address, <a href="mailto:mattusch@gmu.edu">mattusch@gmu.edu</a>.<br />
ALL application materials (including reference, transcript, application form, letter of application) must be received electronically by the AFoH president before April 1, 2020.<br />
<br />
Notification of the award is anticipated by May 1, 2020.<br />
<br />
Successful candidates will be expected to submit reports of their activities to the American Friends of Herculaneum trustees by about the beginning of October. These reports may be edited for publication in <i>Herculaneum Archaeology</i>, normally appearing in the subsequent Winter publication but also on the website.<br />
<br />
For clarification, contact either Prof. Mattusch or Prof. Roger Macfarlane (<a href="mailto:macfarlane@byu.edu">macfarlane@byu.edu</a>).<br />

<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The Vergilian Society invites proposals for papers for the 2019 Symposium Campanum at the Villa Vergiliana in Cuma, Italy. </span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This symposium investigates the role of inscribed materials in the cities, towns, and villas of Campania. Unlike the nearly bare walls of today’s ruins, the written word had a vibrant presence in antiquity. From the large, stone inscriptions on buildings and monuments, to the small, nearly invisible graffiti in private homes, writing was ubiquitous. The goal of the symposium is to investigate the role of inscriptions in the Bay of Naples. How did everyday people interact with the writing on their walls, tombs, statues, and buildings? Does the presence and quantity of writing inform our understanding of ancient literacy? What is the potential and limitations of inscriptions to illuminate aspects of Roman society, or their limitations? </span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Recent scholarship on epigraphical material has focused on examining inscriptions in light of other types of evidence: artistic, archaeological, literary. We, therefore, invite papers that synthesize multiple strands of evidence and expand epigraphical study beyond the inscriptions themselves. Papers could, for example, contextualize evidence from inscriptions within the social, economic, or political fabric of the city. We are especially interested in papers that focus on the possible writing of the unfree, women, and the lower classes.</span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Another recent turn in epigraphical research has been to contextualize inscriptions within their physical environments. Graffiti, especially, responded to each other and the spaces in which they were written. The location of the Symposium Campanum provides an ideal venue for considering the contextualization of inscriptions. With this in mind, we plan to invite interested scholars to present their research on-site, in a building or area that pertains to their paper, if logistics permit. </span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The symposium will include three days of pap<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">ers </span>and discussion. Papers will be 30 minutes long with time for discussio<span style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">n. The schedule will also include visits to selected sites nearby. Meals and housing will be provided by the Villa Vergiliana. There will be a moderate fee (ca. $400) to cover registration, room, and board. Participants should plan their arrivals on Wednesday, Oct. 23 and departures on Sunday, October 27, 2019.</span></span></div>

The American Friends of Herculaneum president and board are
pleased to announce the awarding of two scholarships for the approaching
research season. Joe Sheppard a PhD candidate in Classical Studies at Columbia
University has been awarded $2500 to further at Herculaneum his photographic/archival
project entitled “Mass Spectacles in Roman Pompeii as a System of Communication.”
And Daniel Diffendale of the University of Michigan’s Interdisciplinary Program
in Classical Art & Archaeology will receive $1500 to participate as
topographer in the project entitled “Il culto di Venere a Pompei: nuove
indagini nell’area sacra (VIII.1.3).”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
AFoH President, Carol Mattusch
observed that the board received a large number of highly qualified
applications at the graduate level, but none from undergraduates this year.
Thus, the board’s choice was to award the undergraduate prize to a second-place
winner at the graduate/post-doctoral level. Every application received high
marks from various jurors, and the overall differential between applicants was,
top to bottom, very narrow. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
The board is grateful that
membership dues and extraordinary individual donations continue to make it
possible now for a second consecutive year to fund such exciting scholarly
activity as Mr. Sheppard and Mr. Diffendale are engaging. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino;">This symposium is an
opportunity for scholars to present papers on recent scholarship on Pompeii and
Vesuvian lands. Our notion for the symposium is </span><span style="font-family: Palatino; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">informed by three major
premises, which we expect to be the major themes for the three days for the
conference: </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Palatino; mso-bidi-font-family: Palatino; mso-fareast-font-family: Palatino;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Palatino; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The uniqueness of the evidence that Pompeii provides about
the ancient world. In addition to addressing this at Pompeii itself we hope some
papers will extrapolate outward from that evidence to explore what the Pompeian
evidence reveals about the larger ancient, especially Roman, world with a
conscious awareness of the extrapolation that takes place. </span></div>

</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Palatino; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">An emphasis on contextualizing evidence both within Pompeii
and without rather than presenting material in a vacuum or in isolation. We
encourage scholars to submit proposals for synthetic papers that explore more
than one type of evidence or explore under-considered implications for Vesuvian
material.</span></div>

</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Palatino; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We particularly wish to encourage abstracts from under-covered
areas that can provide a holistic view of Vesuvian material: comparatively more
on areas outside Pompeii such as extramural villas, industrial complexes, and
rural life. </span><span style="font-family: Palatino;"></span></div>

The Sixth Herculaneum Congress is now scheduled for 15-17 September 2016.<br />
The biennial visit to Herculaneum is now open for booking through the UK website.<br />
<br />
Since 2006 each Congress in the past has involved not merely stimulating visits to Herculaneum and Pompeii but also sites that are not normally accessible to the public. This year's site visits will include an insider's visit to the Biblioteca Nazionale (Officina dei Papiri Ercolanesi) and the Royal Palace at Portici, the 18th-century <i>reggia </i>where artifacts from ancient Herculaneum and the Villa dei Papiri were initially shown to visitors from all over Europe. An extra day of excursions will take attendees on an optional tour to sites at the west end of the Bay of Naples, Posillip, Baiae, etc. All site visits with the group include dedicated transportation and expert guidance offered by scholars and truly learned guides. <br />
<br />
A canvas of UK Friends of Herculaneum Society's members indicated that a majority wanted a September date this time round. Mid-September is usually a terrific time to visit Campania, a little cooler but still summery. Enrollment in the Congress is a perk of membership in the AFoH, and the organizers strive to fill three days with education, spectacular sites, and delicious meals.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
See the <a href="http://www.herculaneum.ox.ac.uk/?q=Herculaneum%20Congress">UK Friends' site</a> (www.herculaneum.ox.ac.uk/?q=Herculaneum Congress) for booking form and more information about accommodation and travel.<br />
<br />
Hopefully your schedule allows you to participate in this exciting event!<br />
<br />

Two scholarships, totalling $4,000, have been awarded by the American Friends of Herculaneum board to assist recipients pursue study of ancient Herculaneum during summer programs in 2016.<br />
<br />
Ambra Spinelli, a doctoral student at the University of Southern California, intends to continue her survey of closed ancient houses at Pompeii and Herculaneum where she studies the multiple uses of domestic <i>tablina</i>. Ms Spinelli's dissertation project "The <i>Tablinum</i>: a space and stage for private and public rituals in the houses of Pompeii and Herculaneum" will benefit from this year's AFoH grant.<br />
<br />
Grace Gibson, an undergraduate at Sewanee: The University of the South, will use her AFoH grant to participate in the Herculaneum Graffiti Project. The HGP is an international and interdisciplinary project based in Ercolano that measures, documents, photographs, and digitizes <i>in situ</i> textual wall inscriptions created by the ancient inhabitants of Herculaneum.<br />
<br />
We look forward to updates at the end of the season. <br />
<br />
Funds for the scholarships are drawn from membership dues and other contributions. The board of the American Friends of Herculaneum is pleased to allocate funding for these two students to further our understanding of ancient Herculaneum.<br />

A letter to the editor of <i>The Times (London) </i>urges Italian authorities to pursue further excavation at Herculaneum's Villa of the Papyri. "The boundaries of the excavation remain what they were in 1998. The excavation must be finished." The letter was signed by several members of the American and British Friends of Herculaneum and published in <i>The Times </i>on 30 March 2016 (p. 26).<br />
<br />
The image below shows the letter in the left column and an accompanying story in the British paper <i>The Daily Mail</i> which adds brief statements from British board members Bob Fowler and Dirk Obbink with a statement by AFoH trustee Richard Janko.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="color: blue;">Erika
Zimmermann Damer</span> of the University of Richmond, read the second paper, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Herculaneum Graffiti for the (Twenty-) First Century.” Damer, together with Rebecca Benefiel of Washington
and Lee University and Holly Sypniewski of Millsaps College, have pioneered the
Herculaneum Graffiti Project, the only American epigraphical field school that
is open to undergraduates and one with a large component of digital humanities.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ongoing project exemplifies the very
essence of this year’s conference theme<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>–
From Handmade to High Tech. In her paper<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>Damer<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>outlined the process of carefully
recording and digitizing ancient inscriptions located on the exterior walls of
the buildings of Herculaneum. The summer of 2014 marked the inaugural season
for a team of undergraduates who traveled to the Bay of Naples to begin work on
this innovative project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The hands-on project
included finding, photographing and recording inscriptions that were then
reimaged, analyzed and placed in two databases for ancient graffiti, the
Epigraphic Database Roma- EAGLE Europeana, and Fasti Online . Damer emphasized the
urgency to document the ancient inscriptions<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>before they degrade any further.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She also compared the results of the initial finds to graffiti in the
neighboring city of Pompeii.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In “All Those Sculptures: How Herculaneum
Changed the History of Art<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">,</i>”<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i><span style="color: blue;">Carol Mattusch</span> considered the effects of J.J.
Winckelmann’s pioneering publications of the sculptures unearthed in the Villa
of the Papyri at Herculaneum. Winckelmann visited Naples four times to
investigate the celebrated archaeological finds that at that time were housed in
the king’s summer palace at Portici. In his <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">History
of the Art of Antiquity</i> (1763/64), he developed a new categorization, a
stylistic chronology, which, said Mattusch, “still resonates in teaching and
scholarship about Greek and Roman art”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Winckelmann observed that the bronzes from Herculaneum
were among the “most remarkable pieces,” and many art historians and archaeologists
still consider Greek bronzes to be unique works, designating Roman marbles as
copies. Mattusch believes that by discussing bronzes <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">separately </i>from marbles in his history of ancient art, Winckelmann set
up a chain reaction that is still present in the discourse today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She argued that this thinking all began with
the extraordinarily rich collection of bronzes found in one home at Herculaneum,
the Villa of the Papyri..</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="color: blue;">David Sider</span> of New York University, Vice
President of the AFoH board, focused on the ancient papyri from Herculaneum in
a paper entitled “Papyri as Archaeological Objects.” When uncovered during the
Bourbon excavations of the 18<sup>th</sup> century, the vast library of more
than 1,000 book rolls from the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum were brittle and

described the difficulties encountered in trying to open the damaged scrolls
and noted that Padre Antonio Piaggio invented a device known as “Piaggio’s unrolling
machine” which slowly pulled the individual papyri apart. Most of the texts
were written in Greek, and some were in Latin. None of the procedures to open
the scrolls to date have been extremely successful but there are high
expectations with a new process being examined at the University of Kentucky
using Computerized Tomography (<b>CT scan</b>). </div>

<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The final
lecture of the Herculaneum session, “E Tenebris Clarum Lumen: Illuminating the
Herculaneum Papyri” was presented by <span style="color: blue;">Roger Macfarlane</span>. Over the past decade,
experimentation at Brigham Young University with multi-spectral imaging (MSI) has
provided enormous gains in the quest to elucidate the ancient scrolls from the
Villa of Papyri. Macfarlane reiterated the notoriously difficult task of
unraveling and deciphering the fragile scrolls which has challenged researchers
through the years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The work of the MSI
project at BYU has led to several <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>important discoveries, bringing some of the
texts from the library at Herculaneum back to life. Digital imaging has played
a major role in helping to bring the pieces together in this collaborative
project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Macfarlane agreed with David
Sider that the future will rely on the new research that is currently being
conducted with phase-contrast x-ray tomography at the University of Kentucky.
[Both Sider and Macfarlane, of course, were anticipating the publication of the
paper on XPCT (Jan 20, 2015) by Vito Mocella et al.]</div>

Prof. Jeff Fish, AFoH board member, and Guy Métraux will speak on the subject of <b>Power, Prosperity, Philosophy: Roman Villas and the Men Who Built Them</b> at the Getty Villa tomorrow 16 January 2014 at 7:30 p.m.<br />
<br />
The Getty website notes that this evening of lectures commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Getty Villa. It is fitting that the edifice which embodies the dreams of J. Paul Getty in such remarkable neo-classicism will house the lectures by Métraux and Fish. <br />
<br />
Prof. Métraux's lecture is entitled "Low Profit, High Value: Why Own a Villa?" and promises to explore the "motivation for villa-ownership and the added value villas bestowed on their residents." Prof. Métraux is a professor emeritus of art history at York University.<br />
<br />
Fish will talk about "L. Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus: a philosophical statesman of the Late Roman Republic." The scholar's publications have explored the philosophical milieu in which some of Latin literature's most important texts were discussed and analyzed. For instance, his 2004 essay entitled "Anger, Philodemus' Good King, and the Helen Episode of <i>Aeneid</i> 2.567-589: a new proof of authenticity from Herculaneum," pinned a textual challenge in the <i>Aeneid </i>to a specific place and time. On Thursday evening he will talk about Piso as a political and military figure, but also about his philosophical commitment to Epicureanism.<br />
<br />
Note that <a href="http://www.getty.edu/museum/programs/lectures/roman_villas_lecture.html" target="_blank">the Getty Villa website</a> offers more complete details, especially the protocol for acquiring parking tickets in advance. The lecture is free, but a ticket is required. <br />

<span style="color: #073763;"><b>Call for participants - Study and Dig with the Apolline Project on the Slopes of Mt. Vesuvius</b><br /><br /> Winter, spring and summer intensive one- and two-week courses offered in specialized areas of archaeological research, in addition to summer fieldwork opportunities. <br /><br /><b>The Apolline Project is an open research network, which sheds light on the hitherto neglected past of the area to the north of Mt. Vesuvius, in the Bay of Naples.</b> The project has run actively since 2004 and has several components, with current major work focusing on a Medieval church and a Roman villa with baths buried by the volcanoclastic debris of Vesuvius.<br /><br /> The Apolline Project is now accepting applications for its winter, spring, and summer lab courses as well as its summer 2014 field season. Offered lab courses include: human osteology, pottery, zooarchaeology, archaeobotany, Roman architecture and Roman marble. Selected participants will have the opportunity to spend additional time before and after their chosen program(s) at the project’s accommodations at no additional charge in order to better explore the region. <br /><br /> For further information, including course descriptions and fieldwork opportunities, visit:<br />http://www.apollineproject.org/dig.html.<br /><br /><b>Further information is available at <a href="mailto:info@apollineproject.org">info@apollineproject.org</a>.</b></span><br /></div>

The British Museum's rousing success with the summer-long exhibition on Pompeii and Herculaneum is scheduled to end at Great Russell Street in a couple of weeks. Those fortunate enough to have seen it will likely not soon forget it. But travel to London ... Well, a remarkable opportunity has come for a worldwide audience to take in a <a href="http://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/exhibitions/pompeii_and_herculaneum/pompeii_live.aspx" target="_blank">special live cinematic visit to the exhibition</a> in the comfort of their own local cineplex.<br />
<br />
For instance: on an evening in September I could view the London exhibit at a 16-screen cinema complex about 40 miles from my home. There will be learned commentary and educational enhancement, to boot. Visit the website to determine when and where you can view this broadcast.<br />

<br />
It's billed as the first live cinema event produced by the British Museum from a major exhibition.<br />
Check out the webpage for the British Museum's broadcast program, Pompeii Live... and tell your friends. That URL: <a href="http://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/exhibitions/pompeii_and_herculaneum/pompeii_live.aspx">http://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/exhibitions/pompeii_and_herculaneum/pompeii_live.aspx</a><br />
<br />
The exhibition is really quite remarkable. One might fairly anticipate this innovative add-on will also prove so.<br />

Publishers with The Packard Humanities Institute, 2011), recalls C. Waldstein
and L. Shoobridge, <i>Herculaneum: Past, Present, and Future</i> (Macmillan and
Co. Limited, 1908), which provided overviews of the excavations, the ancient
testimonia, and the finds, along with a proposal for continuing the excavation
of the ancient town with international support and cooperation. This
has indeed now happened, with the support of the Packard Humanities Institute
since 2001. Wallace-Hadrill gives an up-to-date look at the
background and history of the site, writing in a lively and compelling style.
His magnificently illustrated book covers Vesuvian geology, the early
Spanish Bourbon excavations of Herculaneum, the politics of restoration, the
town, its people — from rich to poor — trades, homes, public buildings, old
finds and new discoveries, and he concludes with modern efforts at
conservation and protection.</span></div>

delivered a paper on the "Packard Humanities Institute's Conservation
Project at Herculaneum and New Discoveries" in an AIA session entitled
"The Packard Humanities Institute: A Quarter Century of Contributions to
Archaeology." He addressed the value of multidisciplinary teamwork in the
conservation and maintenance of the site, and showed how at the same time new
discoveries have been made and new conclusions have been reached. Among the
most interesting recent finds that he discussed were timbers from an ancient
roof and its decorated ceiling, which had been swept down to the
ancient shore during the eruption of AD 79.</span></div>

A panel of papers delighted a large room full of listeners at the annual meetings of the American Institute of Archaeology/American Philological Association. Organized by new AFoH president Carol C. Mattusch and board-member Kenneth Lapatin, the panelist discussed in roughly chronological order many diverse aspects of the modern artistic reception of Herculaneum.<br />
<br />
Prof. Mattusch and Prof. Dwyer each discussed the history of early excavations at the site and taught about the museological development related to Herculaneum's spectacular early revelations. Prof. Coates delivered a multifaceted paper about three female characters who have emerged from the literary response to Herculaneum, Bulwer-Lytton's Nydia, Gautier's Arria Marcella, and Jensen's Gradiva. Prof. Stähli covered the extraordinarily rich cinematic reception of Vesuvian cataclysm, from <i>Gli Ultimi Giorni di Pompei</i> to <i>Anno 79</i> and <u>well</u> beyond. Prof. Seydl offered far-ranging instruction on Postwar sculptural reception of Vesuvian victims, plastercasts and other artifacts that have made a lasting impression on the art of our day.<br />

On Saturday, after a greeting from Lapatin, the audience was invited to join the American Friends in its efforts to raise funds for student fellowships and other related purposes. Several membership pledges were received at the meeting and a handful of new members joined.<br />

<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Figli del Vesuvio is a new blog that calls itself a "meeting spot for the community around the volcano, from the coast to the Vallo di Lauro, created to promote and record the activities of [cultural-historical] organizations." For visitors to Campania, especially Friends of Herculaneum who have an inclination toward archaeological and historical things, this website is likely to offer a selection of interesting activities at any time of the year. A searchable calendar accompanies the site.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aF1aY2IV_E0/ULfPVERSqdI/AAAAAAAAAS8/nXtZxjw3KIg/s1600/obiettivo+arte.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" class="CSS_LIGHTBOX_SCALED_IMAGE_IMG" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aF1aY2IV_E0/ULfPVERSqdI/AAAAAAAAAS8/nXtZxjw3KIg/s400/obiettivo+arte.jpg" style="height: 300px; width: 271px;" width="361" /></a>Friends of Herculaneum who read Italian AND who want to keep the finger on the pulse of cultural activities around Vesuvius, will want to follow a recently created blog called "Figli Del Vesuvio." Sons of Vesuvius are that interesting population that preserves the traditions and culture of life on the slopes of an active and classically inclined volcano. Begun in October 2012, posts cover guided tours, musical, historical, archaeological, cultural events, and excursions of all types all over Campania, from Posillipo to Ottaviano and from the coast to the Parco Nazionale Vesuvio and from Santa Maria Capua Vetere to the Campi Flegrei. Matilde Serao, Benedetto Croce, Pulcinella, and the nameless creators of Presepe nativities are equally at home on this site.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The blog's manifest, "A Paradise inhabited by Demons?" (16 October 2012), invites contributions from numerous quarters so as to "give a collective character with numerous authors." And since its opening, indeed, those contributors have given a rich overview of the many cultural activities that can help both visitors and inhabitants of Campania a sense of the historic vibrance of Italy's Southern Jewel.</span><br />
