Imprisoned in 1849 for organising a Carbonari cell among the
workers at Pompeii, numismatist and archaeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli
(1823 96) was eventually appointed Director of Excavations, as well
as Professor of Archaeology at Naples, in 1860. He introduced
systematic excavation to the site and meticulous record-keeping,
including the creation of a general map and a 1:100 model, as well
as the use of plaster casts to capture the forms of ancient bodies.
Published in 1875, as Fiorelli left Naples to take up the position
of Director General of Italian Antiquities and Fine Arts, this
guide, in Italian, gives a description of Pompeii ordered by
region, insula, and building - a system devised by Fiorelli and
still in use today. As such, the work illuminates the development
of modern archaeological methods and the history of this remarkable
site.
