Vitruvian Paradigms
PARADIGMI VITRUVIANI Questo articolo esamina la diffusione e la conoscenza del De archittctura di Vitruvio in Italia nel quindicesimo secolo e dimostra come l'interesse verso di esso sia aumentato nel corso del secolo, come attestato dal numero di copie di manoscritti realizzato dalla metà del secolo in poi, dall'influenza vitruviana sulla scrittura e la traduzione di altri trattati di architettura, e dalla stampa del De architettura nel 1487/8. …

Magnificence and the city
The Insula of the Menander at Pompeii
This is the first of a three-volume analysis of the internationally renowned archaeological site called the Insula of the Menander, a major city block in ancient Pompeii. Volume one deals with the architecture within the block, especially with the House of Menander, the grand villa for which the site was named. Subsequent volumes will consider the decorations and household objects found during excavation.
Excavation and Restoration
Like most parts of pompeii, I 10 was explored and plundered by tunnellers before the modern excavations. It is important, in this respect, to distinguish the activities of the victims of the eruption from those of later intruders. A number of victims were trapped in the insula. Two skeletons were found in room 9 of the Casa del Fabbro, two more in room 8 of the Casa degli Amanti, and a total of eighteen In the Casa del Menandro — an adult and chi…
I 10, 5 and 6
This complex, straddling the north-west angle of the Casa del Menandro and the northeast angle of the Casa del Fabbro, consists of two separate elements. The first, occupying the ground floor, is a shop-cum-workshop (measuring approximately 3.50 m. × 4.60 m.) entered from entrance 6 (Pl. 73), with what is perhaps a living room (6A, measuring 2.30 m. × 4.50 m.) to the east of it. The second is a staircase (5), 1 m. wide, which ascends directly fro…
I 10, 2-3
No part of I 10, 2-3 is protected by a modern roof, and the house is now in such a ruinous condition as to render interpretation difficult. The form of the house, like that of 1 10, 1, is very irregular. It has a street frontage of much the same width as its neighbour, but loses space at the rear to the latter’s kitchen yard; at the same time, its backmost rooms (10-12) project into the property behind (I 10,18). The result is a plan which is rel…
I 10, 1
This small corner house had acquired an irregular plan in its final phase, thanks, on the one hand, to the offset caused by the fountain at the street corner (Pls. 1, 2), and, on the other, to the small kitchen yard projecting westwards into the neighbouring property 1 10, 2-3. Its entrance, protected by a pent roof, the beam-holes for which (19 cm. in diameter) are visible beneath its modern replacement (Pl 3), was set at the right extremity of …
