“Why do we like ruins instead? Because they testify not to a decomposition, but to a survival, not something that is destroyed, but that resists time." - Francesco Alberoni

About the destination

Herculaneum, located on the slopes of Vesuvius in the Campania region, is one of the most fascinating and well-preserved ancient cities in Italy. Founded by the Osci and subsequently dominated by the Greeks and Romans, Herculaneum is famous for the tragic eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. who buried her under a blanket of mud and volcanic ash. This catastrophic event paradoxically preserved the city, offering an extraordinary insight into daily life in ancient Rome. Today, visiting the archaeological site of Herculaneum, it is possible to admire surprisingly intact buildings, streets, houses and shops, with vividly colored frescoes and mosaics. Among the places of greatest interest are the House of the Black Hall, the House of the Deer, the Baths and the Theatre. Furthermore, the extraordinary preservation of organic materials such as wood and food provides a unique insight into domestic life nearly two thousand years ago. Herculaneum is not just an archaeological site, but a journey back in time
