Hercules’ inebriation between ancient and modern. Image and fortune of a myth through archaeology and collections (Veleia, Parma and Europe)

Prof. Marco Cavalieri will take us on a discovery of Hercules, a mythological figure with an imperishable fascination over the centuries, and of his drunkenness, an episode made famous by mythological tales and narratives and by numerous pictorial, sculptural and mosaic works. A journey through archaeology: among the artifacts found in the excavations at Veleia and those that came to Parma through the routes of nineteenth-century European collecting.
