I was born near the excavation of Herculaneum, and it is in my heart. Thanks to my studies in classical archeology and my passion I will try to convey to you notions, anecdotes and above all emotions that I hope you will never forget. Herculaneum is an incredible ancient Roman city, smaller than Pompeii, but much better preserved. It was a rich city of the Empire that faced the center of the Gulf of Naples; many of his houses are superb and elegant, showing that many of his citizens had achieved good economic prosperity. Herculaneum is located on the slopes of Vesuvius and for this reason was completely buried by about 25 meters of pyroclastic materials of the terrible eruption of Vesuvius occurred in A. D. 79. The National Archaeological Museum of Naples is one of the most famous and visited museums in Italy, among the oldest and most important in the world for the richness and uniqueness of its heritage.
