Ottobre 2024: Case senza atrio a Pompei. Un nuovo esempio dalle ricerche in corso nell’Insula dei Casti Amanti

 

Per la generazione dei nostri nonni, il salotto, quale stanza di rappresentanza e di ricevimento, era una parte indispensabile di ogni abitazione ‘borghese’, ovvero di chi si riteneva a pieno titolo parte del c.d. ceto medio. Durante la generazione dei nostri genitori si cominciò a sperimentare con forme alternative dell’abitare, e non solo. I modelli del vivere insieme tradizionali venivano sottoposti a una profonda revisione, a cominciare dalla famiglia, dal matrimonio, dal rapporto tra genitori e figli. Oggi, la ‘cucina aperta’, che nel primo dopoguerra sarebbe sembrata una caduta di stile inammissibile per una ‘buona famiglia’, è del tutto normale; anzi, esprime un modo, non solo di organizzare lo spazio abitativo, ma dello stare insieme. Oggi, non ci si incontra solo per ‘mangiare insieme’, si socializza anche cucinando insieme. È un esempio di come la storia dell’architettura domestica sia indissolubilmente intrecciata con la storia culturale e sociale di una società. Quella romana, nel momento dell’eruzione del Vesuvio nel 79 d.C., aveva visto nella casa ad atrio il suo modello di riferimento da circa sei secoli. Lo spazio dell’atrio, con il tablino quale sala di ricevimento durante la salutatio mattutina e con trofei e ritratti della famiglia esposti nelle alae, era necessario per la messa in scena dell’elite romana, non meno della toga e delle congregazioni politiche e sacre negli spazi pubblici (Pesando 1997; D’Auria 2020).

 

Gli spolia, armature e altri oggetti di bottino esibiti durante un trionfo, erano appesi nell’atrio e non dovevano essere più rimossi, nemmeno in caso di vendita della casa, affinché “le stesse case celebrassero per sempre il trionfo” (Plin., Nat., 35, 17). È come se la casa, tramite l’atrio, fosse un membro vivente della famiglia, con un determinato ruolo a cui nessun altro poteva assolvere. Ma a un certo punto, l’atrio sparisce; evidentemente la società è cambiata; non ne sente più il bisogno. Abitazioni come la Casa di Diana ad Ostia, costruite durante la prima metà del II secolo d.C., gravitano intorno a un cortile-peristilio, sul quale si aprono le sale di rappresentanza. Il binomio sala/aula-peristilio sarà poi l’elemento costituente delle grandi ville dei secoli successivi (Piazza Armerina, per esempio). Si tratta di una trasformazione architettonica e sociale di cui possiamo cogliere i primi segni già nella Pompei del 79 d.C. Circa il 20% delle 1076 unità abitative schedate nell’area scavata della città e accessibili in rete tramite la piattaforma open.pompeiisites.org è caratterizzato dalla presenza di uno o più atri. Nella stragrande maggioranza delle restanti abitazioni mancava semplicemente lo spazio: sono piccole botteghe con retrobottega, appartamenti di pochi ambienti e qualche soppalco, spazi produttivi con ambienti abitativi annessi etc. (Zuchtriegel 2023, p. 17). Esiste, però – ed è questo il dato interessante – un discreto numero di case che raggiungono un certo tono di vita, a giudicare dalle pitture parietali e dagli arredi ivi trovati, eppure non dispongono di un atrio tradizionale. Volendo, ci sarebbe stato lo spazio, anche se ristretto.

IX.12.B/IX.12.9 Pompeii. March 2009. Outside west wall of insula IX.12 from above, looking east across rooms 1,2,3 and 4.
(Our rooms 1,2,3 and 4 (from IX.12.9) are now thought to be part of a separate small house in the north-west corner of the Insula.
This house is now temporarily named as Casa di Fedra, House of Phaedra, see IX.12.B. 
This contains rooms 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15 and 16, numbered on the plan.
Our room 1, on the new plan of the Insula is now shown as room 11.
Our room 2, is now shown as room 10.
Our room 3, is now shown as room 9.
Our room 4, is now shown as room 8.
It also covered the area of our rooms 6 and the area on the west side of it (unnumbered on our photos, but now numbered 5 on the plan).
Our room 6, is now shown as rooms 6 and 7.
Also included is area 15, covered with a collapsed roof, and room 16 on the south side of area 15.
Rooms 19, 20, 21 and 22, together with area “a”, could also possibly be part of this same house.)

IX.12.B/IX.12.9 Pompeii. May 2023. 
Room “a”, Looking south in room recently excavated, probably a utility room unused at the time of the eruption.
The skeletons of two victims were recently discovered during an excavation in the insula of the Chaste Lovers.
They were the victims of an earthquake that accompanied the eruption, discovered beneath a wall that had collapsed between the final phase of the deposition of pumice and prior to the arrival of the pyroclastic flows that buried Pompeii for good.
Part of the south wall collapsed crushing one man.
The condition of the west wall, on the other hand, demonstrates the tremendous force of the earthquakes that took place at the same time as the eruption: the entire upper section was detached and fell into the room, crushing and burying the other individual.

Gli scheletri di due vittime sono stati recentemente scoperti durante uno scavo nell'Insula dei Casti Amanti.
Furono vittime di un terremoto che ha accompagnato l'eruzione, ritrovate sotto il crollo di un muro avvenuto tra la fase finale di sedimentazione dei lapilli e prima dell'arrivo delle correnti piroclastiche che hanno definitivamente sepolto Pompei.
Parte della parete sud della stanza e crollata colpendo uno degli uomini.
Le condizioni della parete ovest, invece, dimostrano la forza drammatica dei terremoti contestuali all'eruzione: l'intera sezione superiore si è staccata ed è caduta nella stanza, travolgendo e seppellendo l'altro individuo.

Room “a”, south end of utility room with the two skeletons and an upright amphora in the corner.
They were found lying on one side in a utility room, probably not in use at the time due to repairs or renovation work under way in the house, where they had taken refuge in search of protection.
They were probably two male individuals at least 55 years old.
Estremità sud del ripostiglio con i due scheletri e un'anfora verticale nell'angolo.
Giacevano riversi su un lato, in un ambiente di servizio, al tempo in dismissione per probabili interventi di riparazioni o ristrutturazione in corso nella casa, nel quale si erano rifugiati in cerca di protezione.
Si trattava probabilmente di due individui di sesso maschile di almeno 55 anni.

Stanza 13, lato sud. Accanto alla stanza in cui sono stati trovati gli scheletri c'era una cucina, con un bancone in muratura sulla sua superficie si trova infatti un mucchio di calce in polveri per la costruzione, e una stanza lunga e stretta con una latrina, il cui contenuto sarebbe defluito in un canale di scolo sotto la strada. Il terreno di riporto copre direttamente il lastricato composto da cinque tegole con aletta a quarto di cerchio, disposte di piatto. Le tegole hanno pendenza digradante dal banco della cucina, che occupa l’angolo sud-ovest, verso lo scolo della latrina sulla strada.

The southwest corner retains traces of a decorated plaster in a poor state of conservation which must have referred to the first documented decorative phase. Despite the non-optimal state of conservation, it is possible to read on the plaster that covers the southern wall to the west a standing male figure with a short tunic and cornucopia, which can also be interpreted on the southern portion of the western wall, continuing with the same figurative scheme. In fact, two partially preserved male figures can be glimpsed and arranged in different registers, while snake-like motifs are visible on the sides. The plaster is covered by a subsequent preparation which incorporates a common ceramic olla (rim diameter 13.5 cm) with everted rim, housed in the wall and facing outwards (Fig. 3). The kitchen counter (h. 71 cm. length. 133 cm.) leans against the south and west perimeter walls. It was built in opus incertum with the north-east corner composed of blocks of yellow tuff of regular dimensions (24-31 cm. x 9 cm) also used for the plinth.

L’angolo sud-ovest conserva tracce di un intonaco decorato in cattivo stato di conservazione che doveva riferirsi alla prima fase decorativa documentabile. Nonostante lo stato di conservazione non ottimale, è possibile leggere sull’intonaco che riveste ad ovest la parete meridionale una figura maschile stante con tunica corta e cornucopia, interpretabile anche la porzione meridionale della parete occidentale proseguendo con lo stesso schema figurativo. Si intravedono infatti due figure maschili parzialmente conservate e disposte su registri diversi, mentre ai lati sono visibili motivi serpentiformi. L’intonaco è coperto da una preparazione successiva (USR 32) che ingloba un’olla di ceramica comune (D. orlo 13,5 cm) con orlo estroflesso, alloggiata nella parete e rivolta verso l'esterno (Fig. 3). Il banco della cucina (h. 71 cm. lung. 133 cm.) si appoggia ai muri perimetrali sud e ovest. É costruito in opera incerta con l’angolare nord-est composto da blocchi di tufo giallo di dimensioni regolari (24-31 cm. x 9 cm) impiegati anche per lo zoccolo.
