- Abstract
- In 1903, Raoul Warocqué acquired eight frescoes from the so-called villa of Publius Fannius Synistor in Boscoreale for his collection of antiquities at the Castle of Mariemont in Belgium. These frescoes are the most significant Roman paintings displayed in Europe outside of Italy. In 2022, these frescoes were set up in a new environment designed to recreate the atmosphere and scale of the villa. Their presentation is based on a reconstruction of the villa’s decor and enhanced by multimedia installations, including an interactive model of the villa. The museographic choices encourage reflection on the display methods of the paintings, which constitute the "disjecta membra" of a now-invisible archaeological site. Since 2023, the frescoes have been the focus of a new scientific project that aims to address these issues through a new initiative combining archival research and multispectral analysis. This project strategically integrates museographic reflections with archaeological recontextualization to create impactful methods that effectively reconnect dispersed heritage between Europe and the United States to its place of origin.
