• Resumen

  • Teodoro Monticelli (1759-1845), universally recognized by his contemporaries as the best of Vesuvius connoisseurs, was a man of science but also a man of power. He had been the rector of the University of Naples, and was at the centre of a wide and efficient network along which minerals, instruments and information had been circulating; but also scientific theories and new progressive ideas. This intense circulation is testified by Monticelli’s correspondence.
