Giuseppe "Peppino" Maggi (1930 – August 2025) was an Italian archaeologist.[1] He specialised in Vesuvian archaeology.[2]

Life and career

[edit]

Giuseppe Maggi studied under the famous archaeologist Amedeo Maiuri.[3] He later served as director of the National Archaeological Museum of Naples.[4] He was involved in the excavation of Herculaneum, which was destroyed in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.[5] The town was completely buried and not rediscovered until centuries later.[6] In 1982, Maggi was in charge of the excavation operation.[7] Such artefacts recovered included the largest collection of skeletons from the Roman period ever discovered.[8]

Maggi died at his home in Naples, in August 2025, at the age of 95.[9]
