IL MOSAICO DEI FILOSOFI TRA "NAPOLI NOBILISSIMA" E DOCUMENTI D'ARCHIVIO

Lavinia De Rosa

Abstract


Th e famous mosaic of the philosophers, known as Plato’s Accademy, was discovered in 1897 outside the city walls of Pompeii in the Masucci-
D’Aquino estate. Th e problems related to its acquisition by the Museum of Naples, infl uenced by the recent excavations in the De Prisco
properties in Boscoreale, have been reconstructed thanks to archive documents and Benedetto Croce’s articles in “Napoli Nobilissima” journal.
