Sommarii:

L'articolo mette insieme le evidenze grafiche e testuali di Pirro Ligorio e altri su un esempio straordinario di una columna caelata romana. Esso stabilisce senza ombra di dubbio che la colonna esisteva e che fu scavata dal fondo marino vicino a Misenum da Ludovico Montalto intorno al 1520. La colonna fu portata a Napoli ma langui sulla riva o sulla banchina al Castello dell'Ovo probabilmente fino alia metà del XVI secolo, da quando fu pesantemente esposta alle intemperie, dopo di che nulla si è più saputo di essa. Gli autori discutono le possibilità che la colonna possa essere stata parte di un arco di trionfo o di una colonna, o votiva o onorifica, non incassata, del tipo visto sul famoso paesaggio portuale di Stabiae, che verosimilmente rappresenta Misenum.

11 The final ‘S’ of ‘AUGUSTUS’ and most of the last ‘X’ were cut off when the drawing was silhouetted. There are also some corrections in dark ink over paler ink: ‘LAT’ originally read ‘LI MP ‘EXSC’ was expanded to ‘exscriptum’ in the 2004 publication in the belief that Ligorio's text seemed to be both a record of an inscription to Augustus and a description of its find-spot, run together, but that interpretation now seems less plausible than the one presented here. We are indebted to Maria Letizia Caldelli, Silvia Orlandi and Will Stenhouse for their assistance.

12 The second part of the inscription may be based on CIL XIV 3664, which is an inscription from Tivoli that Ligorio would have known, and which has the words ‘PORTICVS P CCLX … ET PRONAON / ET PORTICVM … LONG P CXL’. We are grateful to Eugenio Polito for bringing this to our attention.

16 Naples, Biblioteca Nazionale, MS XIII. B.9, fol. 61v: ‘Presso di questo lago nel monte Miseno fece il medesimo imperatore il che fu chiamato Iulio, sopra del quale edifieò un portico bellissimo che avanzava ogni bellissima et degnissima opera di marmo pario, tutto con colonne intagliate a figure et a trophei di cose maritime. Per ciò che con quest'opera si dimostrasse la vittoria acquistata contra Sesto Pompeio, et contra a varie nationi superate in mare nella guerra civile del rriumvirato, nella qual guerra fu fatta tutta quest'opera de porti per havere ricetti sicuri de navi in le coste maritime, ove loco l'armata chiamata Misenatium, per esser quell'albergo nel Miseno porto Iulio. … per lo che finalmente acquistatone la vittoria, ne fece memoria nel sudetto portico, del quale le colonne sue ch'erano remaste intere sono state ai nostri giorni annegate in mare. Per che Lodovico de' Montalti, volendole condurre a Napoli fu tanto male a sortito che mori mentre l'haveno inbarcate, et solo una ne fu condotta salva insino al lito del mare incontro dell'insula Megaris, che si chiama hora Castel dell'Uovo. Ove dall'impiti del mare sbattuta grandamente dall'arene et da le malignità dell'acque spiantagli dal vento adosso iace molto consumata. Havea in la parte più alto vicino al sommo scapo sculpite imagini di vittorie con le ali et con le palme in mano che reggevano la tabella dell'intitulatione che annuntiava esser fatte dal conquista della guerra delle cose del mare. Et più sotto nel mezzo sono alcuni dii marini come tritoni, che vocitano il gran nome di Augusto, che sono mezzi huomini et mezzi pesci. Sotto di essi più verso l'imo scapo sono trophei, con prigioni ligati sotto l'armature appese nelli tronchi dell'arbori. Li cui capitelli erano anche lavorati come le basi d'ordine dorico con alcuni segni di cose di mare et d'armi. Le basi, in verò cio è stilobati, che sosteneano le spire de le colonne anche erano de simili ornamenti lavorati, dove erano queste vi si vedeano alcuni altri ornamenti dell'ordine Corinthio, che erano d'altra parte d'altro edificio'.

Porto Iulio Misenio: ‘PORTO IVLIO MISENIO era nel monte Miseno congiunto nelli Opici Campani popoli situato incontro del Porto di Poteoli o vogliamo dire Puzzuoli. II quale Porto Iulio edificò il grande Augusto messendo il mare dentro al'lago Averno, fece chel lago non più nuocese et chel porto diventarse più commodo per l'etruata [?] e classe cognominata Misenatio. Come scrive Dione, nella Vittoria che Augusto hebbe nel Triomvirato contra Sesto Pompeio. Et questo tale Porto ornò di colonne di marmo historiate di cose dela Navale Vittoria’ (‘The PORTUS IVLIUS MISENIUS was [excavated] in Mount Misenum adjoining [the territory of] the Opici people of Campania, situated opposite the port of Puteoli, or, as we say, Pozzuoli. The great Augustus built the Portus Iulius, allowing the sea into lake Avernus, [which] made it that the lake was no longer noxious, and that the port became more suitable for the entry of the fleet designated Misenatiun. As Dio writes, in the victory that Augustus had in the triumvirate against Sextus Pompeius. And this [Augustus] decorated the port with marble columns carved with reliefs of things pertaining to the Naval Victory.’). ‘Storie’ is commonly used to refer to relief sculpture during the Renaissance: see Grafton, A., ‘‘Historia’ and ‘Istoria’: Alberti's terminology in context’, I Tatti Studies.

22 The exact date of the foundation of the naval base is unclear. Beloch, J., Campanien (Breslau, 1890), 198Google Scholar, gave the foundation date of the Augustan colonia at Misenum as 31 BC, but Borriello, M. and d'Ambrosio, A., Baiae-Misenum (Forma Italiae Reg. I 14) (Florence, 1979), 24Google Scholar, were reluctant to hazard a date before 19 BC, while Vittucci, G., ‘Classis Misenatium: qualche problema storico-antiquario’, in I Campi Flegrei (above, n. 20), 181–9Google Scholar, believed the only secure terminus ante quern was Agrippa's death in 12 BC.

24 There is some doubt whether the waters of the two basins were already intercommunicating before Agrippa or whether he made the link. The Mare Morto seems to have gained its name after the link was blocked in the thirteenth century and its waters became stagnant.

The Portus Julius and Lucrine Lake are discussed on fol. 167 and Misenum on fols 171 and 171v. On the 1526 visit see fol. 173v. As was first pointed out by Almagia (‘Studi storici’ (above, n. 25), 10), the names of mountains and rivers on Ligorio's map of the Kingdom of Naples are almost identical to those in Alberti.

And in front of its [the harbour] mouth there are stately wings of buildings that protect [the port] from the vagaries of the weather, which were constructed by Julius Caesar’). For the Lucrine Lake, see pp. 113-21, and for Lake Avernus, pp. 122-3 5.

30 The faint doubt must remain that if Ligorio was relying on second-hand information, which merely told him that the column was found near the Portus Julius, we cannot know if his source meant the real one or the one at Misenum!

34 Ligorio referred several times to items collected by ‘il vecchio conte’ and to having spent some of his childhood in the territory of the Maddaloni: Schreurs, Antikenbild (above, n. 15), 52-7.

38 Turin, Archivio di Stato, Cod. A.II.10.J.23, fol. 113, now published as Ligorio, P., Libri degli antichi eroi e uomini illustri (ed. Venetucci, B.P.) (Rome, 2005), 94Google Scholar: ‘Nel paese puteolano a d nostri cavandovi M(esser) Ludovico da Montalto, fu trovato tra le ravine di molte colonne questo termine col nome di Archita’ (‘In our days, [when] Messer Ludovico Montalto was excavating in the countryside around Pozzuolo this herm [inscribed] with the name of Archytas was found among the ruins of many columns’).

39 Turin, Archivio di Stato, Cod. A.II. 1.J.14, fol. 89r. ‘É stata portata ancho in Napoli quest'altra dedicatione, la quale era appresso al litto del mare, ridotta da Lodovico Montalto, che per la cui morte, sono state abbandonate dell'altre cose belle antiche et guaste dall'onde salse marine, acciò che non manca quest'altra persecutione, altra a quella che la barbarica gente fece per tutta la Italia, nelli tempi passati’. The reference to ‘this other dedication’ might be thought to belong to the long inscription that immediately follows, beginning ‘L. ANNIO. L. F. COLLINA / MODESTO / HON. EQVO. PVBLICO’. However, although it is recorded in CIL X 1782 as having been found on the shore at Pozzuoli and taken to Naples, the source is a sylloge compiled by Fra Giocondo (1434-1515), who was in Naples intermittently from 1489 to 1495. Giocondo made no mention of Montalto, merely stating that it was ‘in domo Pontani’, who will be the poet Giovanni Gioviano Pontano (1426-1503).

43 Schreurs, Antikenbild (above, n. 15), 55-6, posited a visit to Naples by Ligorio in or after 1558, since he referred to the contemporary Diomede Carafa (1520-61) as duke of Maddaloni, a title bestowed on him in that year by Philip II.
