A landmark publication from the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Napoli e Caserta, The National Archaeological Museum of Naples presents one of the world's greatest collections of Graeco-Roman antiquities housed within a single institution. Written by archaeologist Stefano De Caro and illustrated with sumptuous photography by Luciano Pedicini, the volume chronicles the museum's vast holdings — from the celebrated Farnese collection of monumental sculptures to the extraordinary treasures recovered from the volcanic destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The text guides readers through galleries rich with ancient bronzes, mosaics, frescoes, and everyday artefacts that together paint a vivid portrait of life in the ancient Mediterranean world. Authoritative yet accessible, this is an indispensable reference for scholars, students, and lovers of classical antiquity alike.
