La Vesuvius Challenge e il futuro della biblioteca ercolanese

For the first time, the Vesuvius Challenge, through virtual unwrapping, has offered the possibility of reading an unopened papyrus from Herculaneum. In the coming years, we hope to be able read many carbonized scrolls still closed that are preserved at the National Library of Naples and those that may still be buried in the Villa of Herculaneum. This article discusses the prospects of this research on the basis of the data we already know from the papyri and starting from the structure of the Villa and its eighteenth-century excavation.
