The discovery dates back to 2019, during the interventions of the Grande Progetto Pompei for the securing and consolidation of the historical excavation fronts. In view of the exceptional nature of the decorations and in order to restore the complete configuration of the premises (located in the widening at the intersection of the alley of the Silver Wedding and the alley of the Balconies), in 2020 the Archaeological Park of Pompeii decided to launch a further intervention with the aim of completing the excavation and restoring the rooms and decorative apparatuses present. At the same time, a new wooden cover has been created to protect the painted counter, and the reconstruction of the ancient cantilevered meniano (balcony) has begun, on which part of the original cocciopesto flooring found during the excavation has been placed.
The thermopolis was inaugurated this morning at 11:30 by the Director General of Museums, Massimo Osanna (former director of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii: under his direction were conducted the excavations that brought to light the structure) and the Director General of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, Gabriel Zuchtriegel.

It will open to the public from August 12 the thermopoly of the Regio V of Pompeii, which was discovered in 2019. The thermopolis (an ancient food store: there are about eighty in Pompeii) was brought to light in an area of the ancient city that had never been investigated before, with extraordinary visits to the site of the House of Orion and the House of the Garden. The termopoli, where drinks and hot food were served, as the name indicates of Greek origin, preserved in large dolia (jars) embedded in the masonry counter, were very common in the Roman world, where it was customary for the lower middle class to consume the prandium (the meal) outside the home. The value of the thermopolium of Regio V lies in the decoration of the painted counter: in fact, it presents a Nereid riding a hippocampus and scenes of still life and animals, which probably allude to the food that was prepared, sold and consumed in the restaurant.

The manuscript of "The Hundred and Twenty Days of S***m" will be presented at a conference in 2022, in the presence of specialists and intellectuals, with the aim of analyzing the figure of Sade, the reception of his work over the centuries and its significance today.
"This exceptional enrichment of the national collections," communicates the French Ministry of Culture, "is one of the most important in recent years for the BnF. The Ministry of Culture and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France would like to thank the patrons who contributed to these acquisitions."

The most important existing manuscript of the Marquis de Sade has long been considered lost: it is the first draft of the novel "The Hundred and Twenty Days of S***m", a work with an extraordinary history.
Written in 1785, during his imprisonment in the Bastille prison, the object itself is unique: a roll of 12 meters long, consisting of 33 glued sheets, 11.3 centimeters wide.
Sade was transferred from the Bastille on July 4, 1789, ten days before the French Revolution, and instructed his wife Renée-Pélagie to collect his belongings from the cell, including the manuscript: his wife did not remember until July 14, and the Marquis lost his items, including, it was thought, the manuscript itself.
