Francesco
Villamena reconstructs the environment where he imagines the cave of the
Dragonara was. In the background is the “mons prochyti adversum”, the mount
opposite Procida – now Monte di Procida – then the “mons Miseni” with
it’s lighthouse
functioning since Roman times and, in the foreground, the villa of
Lucullus with it’s attached pool: “the antrum dragonarum”.
