Abstract

The documentary invites us to the discovery of the Phlegraean fields area (Campi Flegrei), near Naples. We can see the archeological remains of the great Roman baths, partially submerged by the Bay water because of the phenomenon of bradyseism. Then we plunge through the remains of Roman buildings and roads submerged by the sea in front of the Bay. Finally, a walking next to some Roman statues found in Baia sheds light on the mythological characters depicted on the statues.
