Pompeii, Oplontis and Archeological Museum of Naples. The sculture and the painting in the roman culture.

For this tour is possible organise a private transportation. In case you interested please inquire . This tour will explore the best examples of figurative arts survived from the Roman times. We will see the different styles and techniques. The astonish collection of sculptures in marble or bronze from Rome and Herculaneum, the incredible frescos survived in the buried city of Pompei and Oplontis. If nothing has survived of the Roman paintings on wood, because of the fragility of the support, the fresco is richly testified thanks to the findings of Pompeii Herculaneum and Oplonti. The frescoes were an essential part of public buildings and private homes, in different and rich colors, embellished with various ornamental motifs that filled both the walls, the vaults and the ceilings. Works (sometimes extremely expensive) of craftsmen rather than artists (in the modern meaning of the term) closely connected with the importance of the house in the life of the Romans of all classes.
