Abstract

In a context in which numerous books, guides and a lot of peer‑reviewed articles are dedicated to the Vesuvius, writing a new (eruptive) history of the Somma‑Vesuvius is a great challenge; Alwyn Scarth, with his new book, faces this challenge with a peculiar style. The main theme developed by Scarth is the relationship between the Vesuvius and people (Campanians and, more specifically, Neapolitans) and how history itself is indebted towards the volcano.
