The Campi Flegrei: A Case Study

Visual research is fundamental to understanding the Campi Flegrei. It brings into focus a rich and singular historico-archaeological palimpsest of identity (Bauman and Vecchi, 2003) and environmental specifi cities. All of this implies, however, a rediscovery of the territory and of its interpretations, of the visible signs that symbolize and characterize the area, which have, from a semantic point of view, been covered and disguised by the weight of history.
