Gli Amici Geniali: L'Appropriazione Dei Luoghi Di Culto Tra Il II Secolo A.C. E Il II Secolo D.C.

By Marco Zatterin and Silvia Einaudi

An extensive analysis of unpublished documents reveals the remarkable relationship between two brilliant friends destined to shape the history of Egyptology: Jean-Francois Champollion, the decipherer of the famous Rosetta Stone, and Giovanni Battista Belzoni, the discoverer of, among other wonders of Egypt, the tomb of the pharaoh Seti I. The story depicted in the volume envisions that the friendship and work of Jean-Francois and Giovanni persist even after 1823, which marked the death of Belzoni, occurring exactly two hundred years ago in Nigeria.
