Sing Sing. Pompeii's Body Summary

Sing Sing. Pompeii's Body by Luigi Spina

This photographic narrative by Luigi Spina reveals unexpected treasures that hail from Pompeii and Ercolano, hidden from the public eye and concealed under the roofs of the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. Spina's collection of black and white photographs gives the reader a glimpse of the bronze, glass, ceramic, and terracotta artefacts such as candle sticks, decorations, handles, statues, pots, oil lamps - and even charred bread, that fill the cells in this Neapolitan institution. Text in English and Italian.
