Les ruines de Pompéi constituent un vaste site archéologique situé dans le sud de la Campanie, près de la côte du golfe de Naples. Autrefois cité romaine prospère et sophistiquée, Pompéi a été ensevelie sous des mètres de cendres et de pierre ponce après l'éruption catastrophique du Vésuve en 79 après J.-C. Le site préservé présente des vestiges de rues et de maisons mises au jour que les visiteurs peuvent explorer librement.

Le Forum Civil représente le centre de la vie quotidienne de la ville, tous les principaux bâtiments publics pour l'administration de la ville et la justice, pour la gestion des affaires, pour les activités commerciales, comme les marchés, le surplombent, en plus des principaux lieux de culte de la ville.

Le temple de Jupiter domine le côté nord du Forum, et le Vésuve s'élève spectaculairement derrière lui. Avec la déduction de la colonie (80 av. J.-C.), le temple fit l'objet d'une rénovation radicale et devint un véritable Capitole. Les trois statues cultuelles de Jupiter, Junon et Minerve, imitant celles du Capitole de Rome, furent placées sur un socle élevé, afin d'être visibles des passants sur la place du Forum.

The Macellum consists of a tuff Quadri-porticus with a hall for worship in an elevated position on the eastern side, in line with the entrance. The Macellum of Pompeii was nothing more than the city market where people could buy food. Located north-east of the Forum, the complex had to remain out of the way from the square so as not to create too much crowding, given the high number of people who certainly frequented it. The walls of the porticoes were decorated with scenes from daily life, such as selling fish and poultry, and mythological subjects.

“Via dell 'Abbondanza” is one of the main streets of the ancient city of Pompeii, in Campania, which connected the Forum with the Amphitheatre.

The Stabian Baths were built at different times. The initial phase of construction dates back to the 4th BC. The main entrance by via dell'Abbondanza leads to a large courtyard. The pool is found to the left, whereas a colonnade is found to the right, which leads to the men's quarters, which are split into the apodyterium, with the frigidarium, which leads to the tepidarium and then to the calidarium.The heating was guaranteed by a piping system in the walls and double floors that circulated the hot air coming from the furnaces and from mobile braziers. The women's quarters, close to the men's quarters, were split the same way in the apodyterium, tepidarium and calidarium. However, all were smaller and had no rich decorations as the men's quarters. The baths that we can admire today were built in the 2nd century BC, a period in which Pompeii underwent a major building renovation. In the spa not only did people bathe, but they also discussed politics, battles, trials, women.

Le bordel de Pompéi, avec ses peintures érotiques, est l'un des bâtiments les plus célèbres des fouilles et servait de maison close. Les prostituées qui y travaillaient étaient principalement des esclaves grecques et orientales. Le bâtiment compte deux étages. Les logements du propriétaire et des esclaves se trouvent au dernier étage, tandis que cinq chambres se trouvent au rez-de-chaussée, toutes équipées d'un lit intégré. Le nom du bordel vient de « lupa », un mot latin signifiant « prostituée ».

The Large Theatre was built around the middle of the 2nd century BC and significantly restored according to the Roman style. In the theatre they represented comedies and tragedies of Greek-Roman tradition. The theatre was the first large public building completely freed from the deposits of the eruption.

Sorrentino Vini was founded in 1990 by the passion of Paolo Sorrentino. The company is currently the largest one of Vesuvius as it has 35 hectares of property, all located within the Vesuvius National Park. The most famous wine produced on Vesuvius is Lacryma Christi. It is the only DOC product (controlled designation of origin) produced on Vesuvius.

The ruins of Herculaneum are an archaeological site in the southern Campania region, near the coast of the Gulf of Naples. Once a small and sophisticated Roman city, Herculaneum was buried under meters of ash and pumice after the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The site is still perfectly preserved, has remains of streets, houses and villas excavated that visitors can admire.

Cette luxueuse maison avec terrasse avec vue sur la mer appartenait à Q. Granius Verus, un esclave libéré peu avant la destruction d'Herculanum. Dans le jardin, deux statues de cerfs attaqués par une meute de chiens donnent son nom à la maison.

Enchanting are the mosaics in glass paste, (very expensive for the time), with floral and hunting scenes and in a central position the mosaic with Neptune and Amphitrite, (the marine deity and his wife).

La maison squelette est probablement le résultat de l'agrégation de trois bâtiments plus petits, et son nom dérive de la découverte de restes humains dans une pièce du deuxième étage en 1831.

The Sacellum of the Augustales was built near the forum when Emperor Augustus was still alive and in power. It is a building with a quadrangular plan that preserves the splendid frescoes that represent Hercules entering the Olympus in the company of Jupiter, Juno, Minerva and Hercules against Achelous. The janitor’s skeleton was found in his room lying on the bed.

The house of the Hotel is a house of roman times, buried during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 and found following the archaeological excavations of Herculaneum. The house of the Hotel is located on the edge of the hill, in a panoramic position, with its two thousand hundred and fifty square meters is the largest house of Herculaneum so far discovered and is also the only one of the city to own a spa district was for these reasons considered at first to be a hotel.

The house of the black salon owes its name to its party hall entirely painted in black with geometric patterns. In this house were found waxed tablets of L. Venidius Ennychus who was supposed to have owned the house. The tablets speak of her eligibility for Augustale, the purchase of a slave, and the birth of a daughter.
