The volume illustrates, through diverse perspectives, the complex phenomenon by which Pompeii became, between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, an essential reference for architectural culture.
Between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Pompeii influenced the training of architects: direct experience in surveying and construction sites, academic fellowships, and study trips transformed the ancient world into a methodological foundation for innovation in design practice.
Secondly, it exerted a significant influence on various national cultures through a plurality of modes of reception: Pompeii functioned as a crossroads of European and transatlantic exchanges, generating a shared vocabulary articulated according to different traditions, schools, and sensibilities. Cultural reverberations in Scandinavia and the United States, as well as in France and Italy, also consisted in the selection and reworking of types, motifs, colors, and devices, establishing a common ground alongside diverse interpretations.
An architect and PhD holder, Fabio Mangone is Full Professor of History of Architecture at the University of Naples Federico II, where he directs the Interdepartmental Research Center for Architectural Heritage and Urban Design.
A scholar of the history of architecture, art, and the city in the modern and contemporary periods, he has published numerous essays in various European languages, curated exhibitions and conferences, and coordinated major research programs at both national and international levels.
