As an archaeologist, I excavated a house in Pompeii together with my university professor \u2014 an incredible experience that I will always carry with me. For me, Pompeii is simply a magical place that leaves visitors with an unforgettable understanding of how a Roman city was built and organized, including its public, private, civil, and religious aspects.<\/p>

Pompeii was an ancient Roman city located near modern-day Naples, Italy. Initially, it was a small agricultural community, but over time it developed into a prosperous and bustling city thanks to its strategic location near the Bay of Naples and its fertile volcanic soil.<\/p>

The catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 buried and sealed the city, allowing for an unparalleled level of preservation in the field of archaeology. One of the greatest natural disasters in history stopped time and left behind an extraordinary testimony of Roman civilization \u2014 a people who deeply influenced the course of history and left a remarkable imprint on the ancient world.<\/p>

MANN, Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli, offspring of the Real Museo Borbonico, is without doubt the world’s greatest institute of classical archaeology, for both the quantity and variety of its collections. It’s glorious three-century history has made it a point of reference for scholars, travellers and distinguished visitors. It’s 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. The main works preserved come from the Farnese collection inherited by King Charles of Bourbon from his mother Elisabetta Farnese and from the excavations of Pompeii, Herculaneum and other archaeological sites in the Campania region. The Museum was inaugurated in 1816 by Ferdinand I of Bourbon, son of Charles, immediately becoming one of the main destinations of the so-called Grand Tour, a journey for one’s classical cultural education made by European nobles who also visited Venice, Florence, Rome and then Naples.<\/p>
