Louis-Adrien de Castera was a French playwright known for his works of fiction. Curiously in 1741, he published an historical work on the history of Mount Vesuvius. Its publication raised suspicion and, was in fact, someone else’s work. Castera translated Francesco Serao’s book ‘Istoria dell ‘incendio del Vesuvio’ which was published in Naples the year before.

 

Serao’s work on volcanoes has often been considered one of the best on the subject from the 18th-century. Castera simply serves a translator and elevated its popularity and fame.
