Mt Vesuvius
When Vesuvius erupted on 24 August A.D. 79, it engulfed the two flourishing Roman towns of
Pompeii and Herculaneum, as
well as the many wealthy villas in the area. These have been progressively excavated and made accessible to the public since
the mid-18th century. The vast expanse of the commercial town of
Pompeii contrasts with the smaller but better-preserved
remains of the holiday resort ofHerculaneum, while the superb wall paintings of theVilla Oplontis at Torre Annunziata give a
vivid impression of the opulent lifestyle enjoyed by the wealthier citizens of the Early Roman Empire
Herculaneum
Unjustly less famous then Pompeii has been destroyed by the sare eruption of Mt.Vesuvius beginning on August 24, AD 79.
The pyroclastic flow instantly killed all residents who had not escaped before it struck. In contrast to Pompeii, the bodies of those
at Herculaneum aro not preserved in cast; however, hundreds of skeletons have been discovered, mostly on what was once
the ancient beach.
Pompeii
The volcano collapsed higher roof-lines and buried Pompeii under many meters of ash and pumice, and it was lost for nearly 1700
years before its accidental rediscovery in 1748. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the
life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire. Today, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy and a UNESCO
World Heritage Site togheder with Herculaneum, Oplontis & Stabiae.
Oplontis & Stabiae (Villas)
The Villa di Poppea .The villa is believed to have belonged to Poppaea Sabina, the second wife of the Emperor Nero.It is luxuriously
appointed, and dates back to the 1st century B.C. It had been extended during imperial times and was undergoing restoration work
when it was buried in the eruption of 79 AD.
The Villa San Marco is one of the largest villas ever discovered in Campania, measuring more than 11,000 square meters.
This villa has an atrium, a courtyard containing a pool, a triclinium with views of the bay, and a colonnaded courtyard. There are also
many other small rooms, a kitchen, and two internal gardens. Villa San Marco is also important because it has provided us
with beautiful frescoes, sculptures, mosaics, and architecture, which show styles and themes comparable to those found
in Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Naples
Naples captures the spirit of the Italian south, the passion and the sense of the everyday drama of life.The city is chaotic,
overcrowded and noisy, but this is all part of its unique and authentic charm. Add the superb
Palazzos, Museums and Churches

Cathedral of Amalfi, to the villas inRavello the numerous
churches built during the historical period of Amalfi's Republic.Positano, once a small fishing today a jet set retreat and a shopping
paradise, the Emerald Grotto, near Conca dei Marini . The Costiera Amalfitana is an outstanding example of a Mediterranean
landscape,with exceptional cultural and natural scenic values resulting from its dramatic topography and historical evolution.
Sorrento
A small holiday resort with a spectacular coastline and a maze of narrow streets with many restaurants, cafés , design shops and
a museum housed in theVilla Correale . A stately home where much of the collections consists of the family's fine furnishings,
including porcelain, paintings, furniture and many clocks. This is a place to wander round in a leisurely way, paying
attention to those things that catch your eye, enjoying the cultured ambience and pleasures of a past age. Sorrento is also the home
