POMPEI
La città viva
episod 1

the first podcast dedicated to the
Archaeological Park of Pompei

"Pompeii is the dead city more alive than ever..."
"Pompeii is a pillar of our culture and of our memory..."
"Pompeii is a world and it is also my world..."
"Pompeii continues to astonish us and always will..."

Pompei. La città viva (The city alive) is a podcast produced by Piano P, the Italian platform of journalistic podcasts, for the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, in collaboration with Electa, on the occasion of the next reopening to the public of the Antiquarium of Pompeii.

Six episodes, hosted by Carlo Annese, in which twenty-six academics, archaeologists, artists and writers, together with the director Massimo Osanna, tell the story and the evolution of one of the greatest treasures of the Italian heritage: from the tragic eruption of Vesuvius that in the 79 AD made an entire city disappear under a blanket of ash and lapillus to the casual discovery that began excavations in 1748, until the last extraordinary relaunch of the Archaeological Park.

Valeria Parrella, Pappi Corsicato, Catharine Edwards, Maurizio De Giovanni, Andrea Marcolongo and many others contribute to reconstructing the daily life, arts and customs of the ancient city - from food to eroticism, from the architecture of the domus to the gardens - by relating them with our times. Together with Cesare De Seta and Anna Ottani Cavina they analyse the influence that Pompeii had on the culture of the last three centuries, from the Enlightenment thought on the catastrophe to the fascination of romantic travelers on the Grand Tour to the best-sellers on the last days before the tragedy. And with Maria Pace Ottieri they discover innumerable points of contact with today's reality, starting with the risk that the 700,000 inhabitants of the seven municipalities of the Vesuvian area run. "Those ruins tell us that we are essentially the same," says the famous Neapolitan writer Maurizio De Giovanni. «That city, with its markets and its houses, with its division between a commercial bourgeoisie and the popular suburbs, traces in exactly the same way what the city would be today, if it were photographed in a similar situation. And we hope that it will never happen».

The series includes 6 episodes, with weekly release from 8th of January 2021. It will be possible to listen to the episodes on Spotify, Spreaker, Apple Podcast and on all the main free apps to listen to the Podcasts.
