The historical Ercolano hasn’t been fully revealed, as it was engulfed by a searing “cloud” that exceeded temperatures of 100°. This cloud solidified into a mud-like substance that preserved the materials scorched but not obliterated.

A prime example is the ‘Villa dei Papiri,’ a library overrun with charred books. However, due to an innovative restoration technique, these books were unrolled and their contents deciphered, providing us with a priceless treasure of knowledge about that time period.

With this tour, you will traverse the scenes of daily life and realize that life back then wasn’t as different as you’d expect. You’ll envision living in ornate frescoed houses, shopping in craft stores, buying exotic spices and fabrics, and unwinding in thermal baths.
