Garden of aromatic essences presenting casts of some victims of the eruption of Vesuvius

The "Garden of the Fugitives" was a vineyard with a summer triclinium sheltered by a pergola. Today, it is a garden of aromatic plants and olive trees that houses the moving casts of some of the victims of the eruption of Vesuvius. Giuseppe Fiorelli, director of the excavations between 1860 and 1875, introduced the method that has remained practically unchanged since then. The plaster, poured into the cavity left in the layer of ash by the progressive decomposition of the victim's body, reproduces its shape after solidification.

Nous avons commencé par l'amphithéâtre puis le jardin des fugitifs. C'était extrêmement émouvant de voir ces corps frappés par la mort et tout particulièrement la personne se trouvant à gauche dont on voit si bien les traits mais les petits corps d' enfants près de leur mère. L'environnement est très beau avec ses vergers et les vues sur le Vésuve.

Beaucoup de maisons décrites dans les guides de voyages sont fermées. Les travaux de restaurations sont permanents et certaines fresques ou moulages de corps figés par l'éruption ne sont plus visibles.
