Summary: "Pompei e le sue rovine, Vol. 1" by Pier Ambrogio Curti is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work provides an in-depth exploration of the archaeological site of Pompeii, focusing on its history, structure, and the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius that led to its destruction. The author aims to illuminate the connections between Pompeii and ancient Rome, drawing parallels in public and private life during the Roman Empire. The beginning of this volume sets the stage for an exploration of Pompeii's historical and cultural significance. Curti expresses his emotional response to the ruins of Pompeii, illustrating his feelings of awe and melancholy as he reflects on the city's past. He discusses the enthusiasm of various scholars and artists who have contributed to the understanding of Pompeii, while he himself intends to offer a comparative analysis of Pompeii alongside ancient Rome, enriching the reader's comprehension of both. The text opens with a descriptive prelude that captures the enchanting landscape of Naples and its surroundings, gradually transitioning into the specifics of Pompeii's history and the events leading up to its tragic demise under volcanic ash.
