In all, 86 of the casts of Pompeii, of which more than 20 will be on display at the exhibition “Pompeii and Europe. 1748- 1943“, scheduled for May 27. Currently, the “casts” are exposed in some buildings of the archaeological Marian (Macellum, Granai, Terme Stabiane, Villa dei Misteri). Scholars of the restoration workshop of the Superintendent will work in the adjacent area of Insula Ocidentalis, with more sites set up in situ at the Garden of the Fugitives and near Porta Nocera.
