Abstract

Paestum archaeological site represents one of the most interesting examples of cities in Magna Grecia in which it is possible to identify a millenary and complex palimpsest of stratifications. Rediscovered only ideally, and not materially, as it happened in the Vesuvian cities, Paestum became the object of a large amount of iconographic and historiographical testimonies, starting from the second half of the 18th century. By operating a critical comparison between these documentations, the paper aims at defining, on one hand, the entity of the values recognized in the ancient heritage and the meaning ascribed to it and, on the other hand, at comprehending how the image coming up from these interpretations could have influenced the practice of restoration.
