Dal 2008 al 2012 \ue8 stato realizzato uno studio estensivo dei contesti termominerali nell'Italia antica, al fine di comprendere le modalit\ue0 di sfruttamento e di insediamento avvenute fra l'et\ue0 repubblicana e l'et\ue0 imperiale presso sorgenti curative. La schedatura, che per il momento ha escluso le province di Sicilia e Sardegna, ha interessato tutti quei casi per i quali fosse possibile desumere riscontri evindenti circa l'esistenza di acque sia calde che fredde, ma provviste di un alto grado di mineralizzazione, che poteva comprovare la funzione terapeutica di quelle fonti. Nel computo totale delle 140 evidenze censite, che contemplano stazioni di cura, mansiones e villae ma anche agglomerati sparsi, emergono 70 siti a vocazione sacra, ubicati in prevalenza nell'Italia centrale con alcuni esempi significativi ma puntiformi nell'Italia settentrionale o in Calabria. Essi risultano sempre in stretto rapporto con la sorgente sia nel caso di semplici de...

Il contributo presenta i risultati del gruppo di lavoro ministeriale che recentemente ha redatto le linee guida per la realizzazione dei parchi archeologici in Italia. Tramite un caso concreto sul quale l\u2019Universit\ue0 di Padova sta da tempo lavorando, si presenta l\u2019iter attuativo previsto dalla nuova normativa, comprensivo di una fase preliminare di valutazione delle risorse e delle potenzialit\ue0 dell\u2019area ove si vuole realizzare il parco e una operativa (redazione dei progetti scientifici relativi alle componenti archeologica e paesaggistico-ambientale; stesura dei piani della tutela e della gestione). Il caso specifico riguarda il Parco Archeologico delle Terme Euganee, un comprensorio, ampio circa 23 kmq, ubicato nei pressi di Padova e ampiamente noto a livello nazionale e internazionale per le sorgenti di acqua calda medicamentosa. Le indagini geomorfologiche, storiche e archeologiche condotte in area (e in particolare per ora concentrate nel comune di Montegrotto Terme), tramite letture aerofotografiche, ricerche cartografiche, analisi ambientali, scavi, ricognizioni, rilettura della documentazione d\u2019archivio, studio dei materiali, hanno fornito i dati per un lavoro di valorizzazione e racconto della storia del sito che trova espressione in due aree archeologiche di recente allestimento, in un\u2019apposita serie di pannelli distribuiti lungo le principali vie cittadine, in un sito web e in un Museo del Termalismo in fase di progettazione

The Ovid’s Metamorphoses are interesting also regarding the study of the Roman house, a rather neglected aspect, which is a further demonstration of the estraordinary richness of this Augustan Age poem. In the poet’s lines we find not only luxury mansions – like Jupiter’s and Sun’s palaces, probably hinting to Augustus’ House on the Palatine – but also important descriptions of poor dwellings, like the rustic house of Philemo and Baucis.

‘Iconographic scheme’ is a polisemantic concept, which already has a variety of uses starting from the classical literature (as demonstrated by a recent study of M. L. Catoni): it refers to the general outline of the figure represented and also to the complete composition of the figure, including internal and external elements (like the gestures, the expression, the clothing, the secondary characters and the elements of the landscape). The ‘iconographic scheme’ of the beautiful seated youth was current in the wallpainting repertoire of the first Imperial Age, used for a variety of subjects (Narkissus, Endymion, Ganymed, Adonis etc.). The study of the seated youth brings to a deep analysis on the process of the images’ creation in a double perspective, the artisan’s one and the patron’s one: in the first case, it will be possible to identify the technical limitations due to the workshop, and also the freedom in using the scheme related to the patron’s choices; at the same time, the choice of archetypes and the components provide useful frameworks for the reconstruction of the personality of the patron through the recognition of the images’ significance. Here we analyze the Cyparissus iconography, a rare subject in the literary and figurative tradition of classical age, which in vesuvian wallpainting has few recurrences extremely interesting just for the reconstruction of the images’ creation and risemantization.

This paper aims to study the topography of Rome through Ovidian verses. In particular, the objects of the research are the poems of love (Amores, Ars Amatoria, Remedia amoris) and of exile (Tristia, Ex Ponto). Comparing the descriptions in these poems, it is clear that the perception of Rome was quite diverse at different stages of the poet’s life.

This contribution is dedicated to the re-examination of the myth of Io, as documented in the mostly pictorial repertoire from the early imperial age. The heroine’s tragic story was the subject of many representations structured around three main moments: captivity, liberation, the arrival at Canopus. The iconographic analysis, evincing the existence of at least three archetypes, is preparatory to the comparison with Ovid’s version, which clearly highlights the distance between text and images, with regards to the captivity and the arrival in Egypt. On the other hand, in three of the four preserved depictions of liberation there is a common detail: the syrinx, which is also central with Ovid, as being the inspiration for a tale on the instrument’s origins. The emphasis given to such detail, which does not appear to have been recorded in literary tradition before the Metamorphoses, allows us to classify it as an “Ovidian indicator”.

A project undertaken by the University of Padua has developed the new database system TESS for mosaics. This database system meets the national standards required by the Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione – ICCD. The database is available on-line thanks to the project «Cultural heritage in the Adriatic area: knowledge, preservation and enhancement», co-financed by the Community Initiative INTERREG III A – Adriatic Cross Border Programme. In detail, the database TESS includes informative files regarding Building and Rooms, Location, relevant Bibliography and Mosaic Pavement. Each file contains plans, designs and photographs. Furthermore, all the fields have a list of univocal and exhaustive terms in the Italian language. The mosaics database aims to provide a key working tool for the identification of the origins of iconographic themes, their geographic distribution and the development of local fashions which vary according to the context. The software was develope...

The purpose of this paper is to reconsider a little sculpture which represents a young woman who dances, found in Aquileia at the end of nineteenth century. The original work, which can de dated – as Sperti suggests – in the fourth century, confirms the diffusion of these little works in marble or stone in the late antiquity. The subject is also interesting because it is related to the spectacles which were the most important occasion of amusing for the people. The artists performed not only in the theatres and in the circuses but also in the private houses or villas, during the convivial occasions. The little sculpture, which perhaps decorated one of the rich residences in Aquileia, testifies the importance of performances of mimes, pantomimes, dancers in the late antiquity society and the honors that were paid to them.

Il contributo Parchi archeologici e sviluppo del territorio: spunti di riflessione sulle “Linee guida per la costituzione e valorizzazione dei parchi archeologici” si pone come obiettivo di riassumere i principi ispiratori delle Linee Guida di recente emanate dal Mibact per illustrare le modalita con cui realizzare un parco archeologico. I punti salienti riguardano la necessita di valutare non solo i resti archeologici, che devono presentare caratteristiche adatte alla valorizzazione, ma anche la disponibilita dei soggetti interessati a intraprendere il percorso di costituzione del parco; e poi necessario sviluppare progetti scientifici relativi all’archeologia e al paesaggio e elaborare un articolato piano per la comunicazione che deve raggiungere il maggior numero possibile di visitatori, con particolare attenzione alla fascia studentesca. Fondamentale risulta anche il piano di gestione, in cui devono essere definite le prospettive culturali ed economiche che si intende raggiunger...

Nel presente contributo viene presentato il progetto di ricerca di cui gli autori danno conto nel volume. Si chiarisce così come dal caso-studio di Montegrotto Terme, sfruttato già in età preromana per le sue risorse geotermiche, siano state considerate le evidenze archeologiche attestate in Italia dall’età della romanizzazione al tardo impero. Si presentano i criteri e i metodi elaborati per la ricerca, nonché l’organizzazione del database: censimento dei siti archeologici e degli spazi per il culto delle sorgenti curative, attestazioni letterarie, epigrafiche e iconografiche, bibliografia di riferimento e mappatura con webGIS delle località.
This contribution introduces the research project on thermalism in the Roman world: it explains how, starting from the case study of the Montegrotto Terme spa – already exploited in pre-Roman and Roman times for its geothermal resources – archaeological evidence in Italy has been examined from the age of Romanization to the late Empire. It presents the research criteria and methods, as well as the setting up of the database, through the survey of the archaeological sites and worship spaces within the healing springs, literary, epigraphic and iconographic evidence, reference
bibliography and webGIS site mapping of the places are registered.
