- Archeological Park of Herculaneum: LICENSED TOUR GUIDE (2HRS) ON REQUEST_
Ancient Herculaneum, destroyed in 79 AD, is renowned for its tragic fate, closely linked to Pompeii. An open-air spectacle awaits, promising a unique experience. Herculaneum was founded, according to legend, by the mythical hero Hercules upon his return from Iberia. Initially influenced by indigenous settlements, it later absorbed Samnite, Greek, and Etruscan influences, ultimately succumbing to Roman dominance. Buried by the Vesuvius eruption in 79 AD, it was unearthed from 1710 onwards, as the Bourbon kings initiated excavations. Over the centuries, archaeological efforts became more organized, revealing extensive sections of the city to tourists and scholars. The currently visitable area was largely excavated from 1927 to 1958. - Pompeii Archaeological Park: LICENSED TOUR GUIDE (2HRS) ON REQUEST_The archaeological site of Pompeii spreads over 66 hectares, 49 of which have already been excavated. In 1858, director of the excavations Giuseppe Fiorelli had the idea of dividing the city into regions, or neighborhoods, and insulae, or blocks. The names of the houses were coined by the archaeologists over the centuries, under various criteria. The buried city was rediscovered in the 16th Century, but it was only in 1748 that the exploration phase began, under the King of Naples Charles III of Bourbon. It continued systematically throughout the 9th Century up to the most recent excavations, restorations and enhancements of the ancient city, with the rediscovering of its exceptional architecture, sculptures, paintings and mosaics.
