Organic materials in the wall paintings in Pompei: a case study of Insuladel Centenario
2012
Abstract Background The present research concerns the Roman wall paintings preserved at Insula del Centenario (IX, 8), the important Pompeian block situated in the Regio IX, along Via di Nola.

The Marquise Forcella palace in Palermo shows a curious mixture of neoclassical and neo-medieval styles. It was built in the years immediately after the revolution of 1820. Particularly close to the Borbonic Court, Enrico Forcella was the administrator of the restoration of the Royal Palace in Palermo. As he had at his disposal the same specialized workers of the Royal Palace, he decided to copy some of the artworks from King Roger’s room and the Cappella Palatina.
