6-7-8 days in October 2010 in Policoro (MT) was held the National Conference on "Text, Context and Events - Ancient texts, historical documents, natural events "organized by 'EUROPEAN COMMISSION (National Institute of Environmental Protection and Research) in collaboration with the INGV (National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology) ASI (Italian Space Agency), CNR (National Council Research) and some Archaeological Superintendence and universities. A scientific meeting to discuss the impact of high natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hydrogeological, gravitational collapse and gaseous emissions, and the valuable contribution of their knowledge and foresight provided by multiple disciplines, including archeology, ancient history, philology, geology and geomorphology, Volcanology, and Remote Sensing satellite.
As for me I had the pleasure and honor to make some illustrations for the intervention of Dr. Angela Paolini CNR and Dr. Mario Pirro INGV sull'indagine Geomitologica the Grotta del Fauno located in the South West Rome.
The illustrations were also collected in a poster (first picture, you would like to thank Paolo Moretti for layout) exhibited during the conference that was held in Policoro (MT), a few steps from where stood the ancient city of Magna Graecia Heracleia. This city was named after the mythical greek hero Heracles (Hercules in Latin) while visible in the last illustration, according to legend, the fearsome fighting Caco, guilty of stealing a pair of oxen.
you soon!
