Vesuvius is best known for its disastrous eruption of 79CE. But only after 1738, in the age of Enlightenment, did the excavations of Herculaneum and Pompeii reveal its full extent.

John Brewer charts the changing seismic and social dynamics of the mountain, and the meanings attached by travelers to their sublime confrontation with nature.

È ciò che ha tentato anche l’Italia dalla stessa conquista dell’Unità (il Regno d’Italia nasce nel 1871, la prima impresa coloniale italiana è del 1882) fino alla sconfitta del fascismo.
