The first visit I made upon arriving at the archaeological area of Pompeii was to the Antiquarium, which houses important artifacts that testify to the history of this famous Roman city, devastated and destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.<\/p>\r\n

I have dedicated various television specials to this UNESCO World Heritage site, ranked among the most visited and beloved archaeological areas in the world. I have shown the treasures now visible in some museums, but above all, the more recent casts of some victims of this terrible eruption, such as a horse, a family with a child, and a slave with his “master,” found petrified in a luxurious suburban Villa of Civita Giuliana in 2020. I must say that the disturbance and emotion are powerful, and it is not difficult to feel a lump in the throat when the eyes are filled with images, like photographs, of immense tragedy.<\/p>\r\n

Just a couple of days ago, the discovery of a 2000-year-old turtle with its unhatched egg, found half a meter deep in a shop on Via dell’Abbondanza.<\/p>\r\n

Thousands of visitors, like robots, activate their cameras and camcorders, and only after the click do they realize that those images do not belong to a film but represent a shocking reality that made an entire city disappear in an eternal moment. During yesterday’s filming, I truly met a river of foreigners from every continent, and it genuinely pleased me after the dark period we are still experiencing.<\/p>\r\n

Today, Pompeii presents itself to the whole world with all its charm, its wealth, and infinite beauty. It would take 4 or 5 days to enter its soul or more visits, and I am also convinced of the choices of the new General Director of the Archaeological Park, Gabriel Zuchtriegel, and the challenges that await him, starting from the new technological solutions serving archaeology that are being experimented with in Pompeii and that are part of an exceptional overall project for the future of Pompeii.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Director informs us:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

“One of the latest monitoring tests of the archaeological structures was recently conducted with Spot, a quadruped robot that can inspect places, even small ones, safely, acquiring and recording data useful for study and intervention design.<\/p>\r\n

The goal of using innovative technological solutions is precisely to improve the monitoring of existing structures and the knowledge of the progress of works in areas subject to recovery or restoration, and therefore manage the site’s safety, as well as that of the workers.<\/p>\r\n

These experiments are part of the broader project of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii \ud835\udc46\ud835\udc5a\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc5f\ud835\udc61@\ud835\udc43\ud835\udc42\ud835\udc40\ud835\udc43\ud835\udc38\ud835\udc3c, aimed at intelligent, sustainable, and inclusive management of the Park, through an integrated technological solution that makes Pompeii a \ud835\udc46\ud835\udc5a\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc5f\ud835\udc61 \ud835\udc34\ud835\udc5f\ud835\udc50\u210e\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc52\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc59\ud835\udc5c\ud835\udc54\ud835\udc56\ud835\udc50\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc59 \ud835\udc43\ud835\udc4e\ud835\udc5f\ud835\udc58.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
