GA&A Productions – Pompeii’s Living Dead (2018)
English | Documentary | Size: 1.24 GB
In October 79, the eruption of Vesuvius destroyed the city of Pompeii in Campania. Buried under the ashes, the ancient city still provides valuable information on Roman life, particularly through its most poignant remains: its casts of victims frozen in death.
At the end of the 19th century, the Italian archaeologist and numismatist Giuseppe Fiorelli (1823-1896) began casting the victims. The technique involves pouring liquid plaster into the cavities formed by the decomposed corpses under volcanic deposits. Severely eroded by the elements, these casts are today the subject of an attempted restoration led by an international group of archaeologists, scientists and restorers. Restoration expert Giancarlo Napoli now with his team takes on the important task of saving Fiorelli’s 86 plaster casts of Pompeii citizens that he created in the 1860s.
The casts of the victims of Pompeii are an archaeological evidence unique in the world. Created in 1863 thanks to the revolutionary technique introduced by Archaeologist Carlo Fiorelli, many of them severely deteriorated over the years. Professor Giancarlo Napoli is the head of the team that is restoring the precious casts. The challenge is hard, as the operation consists in restoring organic matter (human bones) embedded in inorganic matter (gypsum), but the restoration is also the opportunity for historians and anthropologists to gain new insights on the last moments of Pompeii and its citizens.
Thanks to the most sophisticated imaging and medical technology, the victims of the devastating eruption in Pompeii are being brought to life for a second time.
