trip to discover the famous "Vesuvian Villas" ... the magnificent stately mansions between Vesuvius and the sea ... and the genius of Campolieto Villa Luigi Vanvitelli. ..
Sunday, March 20 ....
... .. Since ancient times, the strip of land at the foot of Vesuvius has always been a very popular residential area of \u200b\u200bthe nobility and the sites we'll visit a demonstration. Outside the walls of Pompeii and Herculaneum were built a myriad of Roman villas, scattered throughout the countryside Vesuvian villas for use both as a purely residential dwellings and "otium" is as flourishing farms. The area was all the rage for several centuries in the 700 so much that there are about 120, all aristocratic homes, most of whom are now in a state of decay. Fortunately, some villas have been carefully restored by the Board for the Vesuvian Villas, in order to mend the fabric of the territorial area of \u200b\u200bHerculaneum, where you can find most of these villas. Campolieto In 1977 the Villa was purchased by the Board for the Vesuvian Villas and has been fully restored, restored and opened to the public as well to serve the community. The history of this magnificent home starts in 1755 when Luzio de Sangro, Duke and Prince of Casacalenda Campolieto, he commissioned a Mario Gioffredo to design "the most noble casino" between the villas of the Golden Mile. The work, due to the terrible eruption of Vesuvius in 1758, lasted for two decades and was completed by Luigi Vanvitelli that the Duke had got to know and appreciate.
Men and territory, are the topics covered in the small museum that Boscoreale arranged according to the criteria of modern museology, offers us a glimpse of daily life of 2000 years ago. Visit then the least known and little visited Villa Oplontis, also buried by the eruption in 79 AD, this house shows a good example of a noble house in the countryside and Vesuvius seems to have been the property of Poppea, the wife of Emperor Nero. Oplontis, although a lesser known site, with beautiful frescos wonderfully preserved and restored with the current retention policy since the discovery of this extraordinary site occurred only in 1964.
