Il quarto volume della collana "Tesori nascosti" è dedicato ai Bronzi di Riace, due tra le pochissime statue originali in bronzo sopravvissute dall'antichità a oggi e conservate presso il Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Reggio Calabria. La pubblicazione nasce in occasione delle celebrazioni per il cinquantenario della scoperta, e vede la ricerca fotografica di Luigi Spina dialogare con i contenuti testuali curati da Carmelo Malacrino. Il fotografo Spina sviluppa una narrazione continua che propone una comparazione diretta delle due sculture, denominate A e B, mettendo in luce la lettura corporea dei soggetti nonché la tridimensionalità dei loro corpi bronzei, spesso celata dalla bidimensionalità delle immagini fotografiche. Carmelo Malacrino analizza i celebri capolavori del V secolo a.C. sotto il duplice aspetto dell'opera d'arte antica e del loro significato nella cultura contemporanea. Viene ripercorsa la vicenda dei Bronzi a partire dalla loro scoperta nell'agosto del 1972, approfondendo le circostanze del recupero, i restauri, le esposizioni, nonché l'impatto sul pubblico a livello nazionale e internazionale. Ma non meno importanza viene data alla rilettura delle due statue partendo da una loro contestualizzazione in seno all'arte greca, alle questioni stilistiche ad essa relative, e alla riflessione intorno alle pratiche e ai saperi delle botteghe statuarie classiche. Questa pubblicazione sorprenderà gli amanti della statuaria classica, gli appassionati di archeologia e tutti coloro che non si accontentano di uno sguardo fugace quando ammirano un'opera d'arte.

[From front jacket flap] Architectural remains are among the most important archaeological evidence we have from Greco-Roman antiquity, helping us to understand the values and the technology of the societies that created them. In this richly illustrated book, Carmelo G. Malacrino relies on architectural remains as well as on ancient literary and historical sources to present a wide-ranging overview of the materials and techniques used by ancient Greek and Roman builders from the third century B.C. to the fifth century A.D. The author begins by examining the variety of materials used in ancient buildings and discussing how these materials varied across time and geographical location, often giving a regional look to architecture. From the Greeks' early employment of wood, plant materials, and clay to their adoption of stone as the principal building material in the seventh century B.C., Malacrino traces the development of increasingly sophisticated technologies to quarry and prepare stones for shipment to their building sites. The theme of construction technology occupies the central part of the book, with a discussion of the Greeks' mastery of the process of working with white marbles, the material preferred by the leading architects of antiquity. The Greeks devised several ingenious methods for transporting materials from quarries to building sites, including inclined roads that were specially paved to act as slipways and underwater suspension systems set between two ships. They also invented hoisting systems for raising and positioning monumental elements. The Romans not only expanded on the engineering experiments of the Greeks but also developed their own methods and materials, such as their version of concrete (opus caementicium), which was used to make the vaulted roof of the Pantheon, an advance unequaled for many centuries. …
