La cosa che mi colpisce di più in questa tela del 1701 di Nicola Malinconico, nel soffitto della chiesa di Donnalbina a Napoli, è l'immagine del Vesuvio sullo sfondo. La scena raffigura "Sant'Agnello che scaccia i Saraceni da Napoli" e, ad individuare la città, c'è appunto il vulcano insieme a Castel Nuovo. Ebbene, giusto settant'anni prima, nel 1631, il Vesuvio era stato letteralmente squarciato da una terribile eruzione. Le immagini dipinte del tempo ci mostrano il vulcano molto più basso del Monte Somma. Ci vorranno secoli di successive eruzione per consentire al Vesuvio di "ricostruirsi" gradualmente e superare in altezza il Somma. In questo dipinto il Vesuvio è ancora più basso rispetto al Somma, ma appare già notevolmente "cresciuto" rispetto al 1631.

When it is applied by the author or the copyright holder, community consensus has decided such works as being public domain in the US and countries where it is legally possible to release own work to the public domain. In the countries where this is not possible, the copyright status of the work remains undetermined.
If a file is tagged with Public Domain Mark by someone other than the author or the copyright holder, a more specific copyright tag such as one found at Commons:Copyright tags/General public domain must be applied. If this is your own work, please use {{Cc-zero}} instead.
