Porta Anfiteatro is, together with Porta Marina, one of the two southern entrances to the Archaeological Area of Pompeii. This entrance was designed together with the square by the Engineer Luigi Borrelli in 1931 by the will of Amedeo Maiuri, who wanted to create a point of direct connection between modern Pompeii and ancient Pompeii. This square was built following the operations of liberation of the ground, coming from two centuries of excavation, piled along the city limits that brought to light the Necropolis of Porta Nocera until then submerged. The semicircular shape of the square reconnects with the rebuilding made by Maiuri of Piazza Esedra at the entrance of Porta Marina (also in a semicircular shape) and puts itself in visual relationship with the Amphitheater located not far away. The thesis project develops with the aim of re-evaluating the entrance area, which at this moment appears to be only a passage point for entering the Archaeological Area. In order to achieve this result, a paved route was designed, slightly raised above the level of the ground, which connects Piazza Immacolata (where tourists' buses arrive) with the Amphitheater. On this route in three different points (Piazza Immacolata, Piazza Anfiteatro and in correspondence of the stairway that allows to go down to the Necropolis of Porta Nocera) are located three buildings with different functions designed to make this area an integral part of the tour of the city. The building located in Piazza Anfiteatro and the one placed at the stairway to the Necropolis are designed as exhibition spaces inside which are exposed plaster casts of the victims of the eruption (in Piazza Anfiteatro) and artifacts recovered during the operations of excavation of the Necropolis of Porta Nocera, of the Fondo Pacifico and of the Amphitheater (at the stairway); the building located in Piazza Immacolata will host, instead, an auditorium inside which will be held conferences and projections related to Pompeii and its history.
Porta Anfiteatro è, assieme a Porta Marina, uno dei due ingressi meridionali all’Area Archeologica di Pompei. Questo ingresso fu progettato insieme alla piazza antistante dall’Ingegnere Luigi Borrelli nel 1931 per volere di Amedeo Maiuri il quale desiderava creare un punto di connessione diretto fra la Pompei moderna e la Pompei antica. Questa piazza fu realizzata in seguito alle operazioni di liberazione delle terre, provenienti da due secoli di operazioni di scavo, ammassate lungo i confini della città che portarono alla luce la Necropoli di Porta Nocera fino a quel momento sommersa. La forma semicircolare della piazza si ricollega al rifacimento operato dal Maiuri di piazza Esedra in corrispondenza dell’ingresso di Porta Marina (anch’essa a forma semicircolare) e si mette in relazione visiva con l’Anfiteatro situato poco distante. Il progetto di tesi si sviluppa con l’intento di rivalutare l’area dell’ingresso che in questo momento risulta essere solamente un luogo di passaggio per entrare all’interno dell’Area Archeologica. Per poter ottenere questo risultato si è progettato un piastrone pavimentato, leggermente sopraelevato rispetto alla quota del terreno, che collega Piazza Immacolata (dove arrivano i pullman di turisti) con l’Anfiteatro. Su questa piastra in tre punti differenti (Piazza Immacolata, Piazza Anfiteatro e in corrispondenza della scalinata per scendere alla quota della Necropoli di Porta Nocera) si innestano degli edifici con differenti funzioni atte a rendere quest’area parte integrante del percorso di visita alla città. L’edificio posto in Piazza Anfiteatro e quello posto in corrispondenza della scalinata per la Necropoli sono pensati come spazi espositivi all’interno dei quali vengono esposti i calchi in gesso delle vittime dell’eruzione (in Piazza Anfiteatro) e reperti recuperati durante le operazioni di scavo della Necropoli di Porta Nocera e del Fondo Pacifico e dell’Anfiteatro (in corrispondenza della scalinata); l’edificio situato in Piazza Immacolata ospiterà, invece, un auditorium all’interno del quale si terranno conferenze e proiezioni legate a Pompei e alla sua storia.

Abstract
Porta Anfiteatro is, together with Porta Marina, one of the two southern entrances to the Archaeological Area of Pompeii. This entrance was designed together with the square by the Engineer Luigi Borrelli in 1931 by the will of Amedeo Maiuri, who wanted to create a point of direct connection between modern Pompeii and ancient Pompeii. This square was built following the operations of liberation of the ground, coming from two centuries of excavation, piled along the city limits that brought to light the Necropolis of Porta Nocera until then submerged. The semicircular shape of the square reconnects with the rebuilding made by Maiuri of Piazza Esedra at the entrance of Porta Marina (also in a semicircular shape) and puts itself in visual relationship with the Amphitheater located not far away. The thesis project develops with the aim of re-evaluating the entrance area, which at this moment appears to be only a passage point for entering the Archaeological Area. In order to achieve this result, a paved route was designed, slightly raised above the level of the ground, which connects Piazza Immacolata (where tourists' buses arrive) with the Amphitheater. On this route in three different points (Piazza Immacolata, Piazza Anfiteatro and in correspondence of the stairway that allows to go down to the Necropolis of Porta Nocera) are located three buildings with different functions designed to make this area an integral part of the tour of the city. The building located in Piazza Anfiteatro and the one placed at the stairway to the Necropolis are designed as exhibition spaces inside which are exposed plaster casts of the victims of the eruption (in Piazza Anfiteatro) and artifacts recovered during the operations of excavation of the Necropolis of Porta Nocera, of the Fondo Pacifico and of the Amphitheater (at the stairway); the building located in Piazza Immacolata will host, instead, an auditorium inside which will be held conferences and projections related to Pompeii and its history.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
