Carlo Anti e l’approccio esegetico all’iconografia antica

This research investigates Carlo Anti’s exegetic approach to Classic iconography within the international hermeneutic critics of his own time. Out of some contributions dealing with Roman art, the archaeologist chiefly delved into Greek art – in particular, into the interactions between Greek oral literature and performances and vase-painting. He mainly focused on theatre in general, using Greek and Southern-Italian vases and Roman reliefs as means to inspect mythic traditions (and variations) and to reconstruct plots and plays of ancient dramas, as well as scenic designs and ritual practices.
