Tucci and Swāt, Seventy Years Later

The book presents the 1978 second edition of La Via dello Swat because it offers Tucci’s very first impressions and it includes his evaluation of the first 20 years of excavations; for the illustrative material, instead, we preferred the photos Tucci had chosen for the first edition in 1963. Tucci’s text is followed by a substantial article by L.M. Olivieri that illustrates all that has become known through seventy years of continuous excavation by the Italian Archaeological Mission. This volume is published in the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Italian Archaeological Mission in Pakistan founded by Giuseppe Tucci in 1955.
