Publisher's Synopsis

At the beginning of the 18th century, the discovery of Pompeii and Herculaneum seemed to coincide with the developing interest inclassical culture. But instead of noble innocence and simple grandeur, the visitors discovered a city with small, richly decorated houses with windowless, often obscenely painted rooms. The reports of these travellers try to reach a balance between these illustrations and the classical picture of antiquity.
