Overview

The guided tour lasts four hours. The splendid Villa dei Misteri, with the famous Dionysian fresco, is included in the itinerary.
The itinerary is presented through a historiographical and cultural interpretation. You can admire the Domus Pompeiana, the large state house, notable for the richness of its frescoes and splendid mosaics. The Dionysian and Isiac Mystery cults. The daily life of the ancient Hellenistic city, the "Most Living Among the Dead Cities".
Pompeii certainly represents a cultural complex that affects the consistency of the entire Mediterranean, when the "Mare Nostro" was a sea that united and did not divide.
Pompeii is not a Greek city, nor even a Roman one, but a Hellenistic one. That is to say a large commercial and industrial center that had relations with Asia Minor, with India and with Persia, the whole world preserves Pompeii, it is because the eruption was experienced as a divine punishment with the latest writings " SODOM AND GOMORRA"
