Abstract

On the night of September 7th 2017, a fire destroyed the archaeological park of the Roman villa of Faragola (Foggia). It was a severe blow for Italian archaeology: no one had ever imagined that - in the 21st century AD - ashes and destruction could affect our antique beauties. Here, Giuliano De Felice, among the protagonists of the excavation of the villa, tries to reflect on the incident from a distance: how can we reconcile rebuilding the site with preserving the memory of this tragic event?
