The rediscovery of Pompeii in 1748 represented a decisive moment for our understanding of the Roman world.

White Stars partners for Pompeii: Art and Treasures of the Buried City are the official institutions charged with preservation and the continuing exploration of the site: the Archaeological Superintendencies of Pompeii and Naples, and the Università Federico II of Naples. This book is the first collaboration of these two expert staffs and each offers a special authority on the excavations and the art of the ancient city. The text documents the most recent investigations and discoveries from the field-some previously unpublished-and represents the most current available view of one of the worlds most famous archaeological sites.
