EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "View of the House of Salustio. Scenography for the opera The Last Day of Pompei" takes us back in time to ancient Rome. Created by Alessandro Sanquirico in 1830, it showcases a stunning architectural masterpiece within the city of Pompeii. The intricate details and precision captured in this print are truly remarkable. The house of Salustio stands proudly amidst a bustling Roman street, with its grandeur and elegance evident from every angle. Its columns, arches, and ornate decorations transport us to an era long gone. Sanquirico's scenography was specifically designed for Giovanni Pacini's opera "The Last Day of Pompei". This composition aimed to recreate the tragic events leading up to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD that buried the entire city under layers of ash and debris. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we can almost hear echoes of music floating through the air as performers bring this dramatic tale to life on stage. It is a testament not only to Sanquirico's artistic talent but also his ability to transport audiences into another world through his scenic designs. Preserved within a Milanese private collection, this piece serves as a reminder of both the beauty and fragility inherent in human creations. It invites us to reflect on our own place in history while marveling at the enduring power that art holds over generations.
