Questo libro, curato dalla Fabbrica di San Pietro in Vaticano, invita il lettore a compiere un viaggio nel tempo per riscoprire un sito oggi nascosto nei sotterranei della basilica, ma in origine illuminato dal sole. Le pagine iniziali del volume introducono il visitatore alla storia e alla topografia del Vaticano antico mentre alla scoperta del sito è rivolto un apposito capitolo che ricorda i ritrovamenti occasionali tra XV e XIX secolo e le difficili "Esplorazioni" sotto la Confessione di San Pietro volute da Pio XII; ampio spazio è poi riservato all'opera di conservazione e restauro condotta dalla Fabbrica di San Pietro negli ultimi quindici anni. Alla visita della necropoli è dedicata la parte più consistente del volume. Ogni edificio sepolcrale è analiticamente descritto nella sua architettura, nelle decorazioni e nei reperti ritrovati nel corso degli scavi. Viene presentato l'intero sito archeologico alla luce degli studi più recenti e, soprattutto, a seguito dei restauri. Il volume è inoltre corredato da numerosi approfondimenti testuali su eventi storici, simbolismo funerario, temi della mitologia classica e singoli aspetti della vita quotidiana. This book, edited by the Fabbrica di San Pietro in Vaticano, invites the reader to make a journey through time to discover a site today hidden in the basement of the basilica, but originally illuminated by the Sun. The initial pages of the volume introduces visitors to the history and topography of the ancient Vatican while exploring the site is facing a separate chapter which recalls the occasional finds between the 15th and 19th centuries and the difficult "explorations" in the confession of St. Peter by Pope Pius XII; ample space is then reserved for conservation and restoration work carried out by the Fabbrica di San Pietro in the last fifteen years. To visit the necropolis is dedicated the bulk of the volume. Each building is analytically described burial in its architecture, decoration and artifacts found during the excavations. The entire site is presented in the light of archaeological studies and, especially, in the aftermath of the restoration. The book is also accompanied by numerous insights on textual historical events, funerary symbolism, themes from classical mythology and the individual aspects of daily life.
