Overview
The ancient Ercolano has not been completely unearthed yet, but it was covered by a hot “cloud” whose temperature exceeded 100°. This cloud turned into a mud that preserved the materials which had been charred, but not destroyed.
For example, 'Villa dei Papiri' is a library full of burnt books which were salvaged through recovery techniques and unrolled to be read, giving us an invaluable heritage of knowledge from that era.
On this tour you will explore everyday life and discover that the world back then wasn't so different after all. Imagine living in beautiful frescoed houses, shopping at artisan stores for spices and fabrics, or going to thermal baths for some relaxation.
