Its unmistakable silhouette, its eruptive history and its relationship with Naples make the volcano much more than a landscape feature. For contemporary artists, Vesuvius can represent **energy, danger, memory, regeneration, identity and the powerful relationship between people and nature**. This gallery brings together different interpretations of Mount Vesuvius by contemporary Italian and international artists, using painting, sculpture, printmaking and other techniques. - Material Explosion -
