This tour unfolds in two parts: the first takes place at Pompeii where we will fully explore the excavated city in its entirety and, almost like phantoms we will sneak in and observe the lives of the inhabitants in the days just before the catastrophe. The second part of the tour will take place in the galleries of the Archeological Museum of Naples. The frescoes, statues, handcrafts, and jewels that had remained for centuries under the lava and then brought to light during the excavations were slowly collected and brought together to form the nucleus of Museum's collections. They have no equivalent in any other museum in the world. Mosaics such as the Battle of Alexander the Great, the Traveling Musicians, and the Academy of Plato are surprising to say the least, and we will engage with the stories they recount, the places where they were found, the political, social significance they had in the context of Roman culture.
