EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Blend of Ancient and Modern: Metal Stove, Household Pot, and Terracotta Vase 2. Description: This image, a copperplate engraving by Pietro Ruga after an illustration by Lorenzo Rocceggiani, showcases a fascinating juxtaposition of ancient and modern elements. The central focus is a metal stove, reminiscent of those used in the outdoor bathhouses found in Rome, specifically near Porta San Sebastiano in the vineyard of Mr. Dedominicis (1). The stove's intricate design and the smoke billowing from its chimney evoke the essence of traditional Roman bathing practices. To the left, a simple yet elegant household pot from Naples (2) is depicted, its metal body gleaming with use and age. This pot would have been a common sight in Roman kitchens, used for cooking and serving meals. To the right, a terracotta vase and bowl (3) excavated outside Porta del Popolo in the so-called Tomb of Nero add a touch of antiquity to the scene. These ancient artifacts, with their intricate designs and delicate forms, serve as a stark contrast to the modern metal stove. The engraving, part of Franzetti's 100 Plates of Costumes Religious, Civil and Military of the Ancient Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans (Rome, 1802), offers a glimpse into the classical civilization's rich history and the blending of old and new within it. 3.
