ABSTRACT

The contribution arises from research experience we are carrying out in one of the most famous and

significant archeological site of the world: the Pompeii site. The research (its acronym is FARO) is referring

to the “Accessible archeology: strategies for a widened use of the sites of cultural interest” and it has the aim

to analyse, in particular, the via di Mercurio and its domus and also to deepen the experimentation of

methodologicalmodelsfordefiningsolutionsandconsequentlytocarryoutappropriateinterventions.

The applied research that has been developed for the Domus of Meleager is based on the consideration of the

different aspects in a multidisciplinary perspective. First, the morphological critical points and the conditions

of conservation of the old material are been detected. Then, the recognition of the more interesting and

possible paths of the tour inside the domus has been done. The integration of these different parameters has

allowed us to identify solutions and, then, specific interventions that have been verified in connection to

specificsituations.

The research shows us the strong inter-relationship between the conservative conditions and the ones linked

to the use and fruition. But especially, it is primarily significant the integration of scientific knowledge and

the current instances of the project that is linked very strongly to the actions of recognition, perception and

interpretationofthe siteanditsvalues.
