The eruption of Vesuvius in the year AD 79 signified a collective
trauma; it revealed the fragility of the civilized world.
Contemporaries explained the catastrophe from the perspective of
the natural sciences or mythology; the later Christian population
made attempts to interpret it from the viewpoint of religion. With
the eruptions since the 17th century, a unique culture of piety
developed in Naples, while, the natural science conducted as of the
18th century led to the erection of the first Vesuvius Observatory
in the world. The people of Naples today find themselves in a field
of tension between religion and science due to the ongoing threat.
This volume is dedicated to the search for explanations, meaning,
and hope-despite the uncontrollable threat-based on the example of
numerous works of painting, sculpture, and craft.
