"Moving from the belief of the lead paint than the other Greek arts, the National Research Project PRIN 2006 consists of five Italian universities (Bari, Messina, Pavia, Perugia, Roma Tre) was proposed as an object of study the spread of the pictorial language Hellenistic West. After presenting the first results at the XVII International Congress of Classical Archaeology in Rome (September 2008), is now published this book which also uses the services of other university research projects, Italians and foreigners, and the Superintendents of Sicily and the Vesuvian area. The work examines how the spread of this new language give different outcomes in different areas considered (Sicily, Apulia, Etruria, Campania, Rome) entering into relationship with the various local traditions established. Deals with the chronological problem, made more difficult by the scarcity of available documentation, advancing hypotheses that take consistency, based on new surveys such as those conducted at Finziade stratigraphic and homes of the late Republican levels of Pompeii, with particular regard to the presence of structural style . Studies devoted to the first systems of wall decoration in stucco and painted figurative mosaics offer a particular contribution to the knowledge of the subjects of Greek painting that have been preserved in this way and enriches the documentation forming the basis for new future searches."--Publisher's website.
