A T T I M O is the name of the new street art work by Francisco Bosoletti, an Argentinian artist born in '88.
It is located in Pompeii, on the facade of the former Pretura building, and depicts the #casts of Pompeii.
In the second half of the 1800s, in fact, the archaeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli realized that, since the organic material in Pompeii had been burned by the eruption of 79 AD, they should find cavities in the shape of the organic material. He tried to fill these voids with plaster, and what came out was one of the most important discoveries in history: the casts show the expressions on the faces of the victims of the eruption. Something extremely sad, but at the same time infinitely precious.
