| Sumario: | The text deals with the archaeological city of Pompeii that is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List; in 2023, it reached 4 million visitors. The ancient city is studied because of its formal rather than documentary qualities, which highlight a close relationship between the form of the house, the form of the insula and the general form of the city. As part of a recent urbanization, Pompeii raises some problems of use not only due to its fragility but also the inadequate accessibility system. In recent decades, important projects have been focused on the southern edge of the archaeological enclosure; they have been carried out by Renzo Piano and Peter Eisenman among others. They are related to the hypothesis grounded on the increasing of flows through the infrastructure strengthening that links Pompeii to Naples and from here to many other locations. A more recent hypothesis, however, developed by the authors during an international workshop, attempts to restore an essentially architectural dignity to the southern access system as well as to work on the area in-between the ancient and the contemporary city to ensure better services for tourists and return some public spaces to the inhabitants. |
