Le programme vous conduit aux contreforts du Vésuve jusqu'aux ruines de Pompéi, la cité antique préservée par une éruption volcanique dévastatrice. Vous marcherez dans les rues pavées jusqu'au Forum, jadis le centre de la vie romaine. Les chemins anciens vous mèneront vers des villas grandioses, tels que la Maison du Faune, ornée de nombreuses mosaïques. L'arène du théâtre invite à s'assoir et à scruter les colossales colonnes de la basilique. Vous verrez aussi des lieux de la vie quotidienne comme les bains et les tavernes.
Vous verrez l'extérieur de l'opulente Casa della Regina Carolina, l'une des plus grandes maisons de la cité antique située dans un quartier d'élite près du Forum. Vous en apprendrez plus sur les recherches en cours lancées par l'exploratrice du National Geographic Caitlin Ellis Barret, en découvrant la villa et les activités domestiques quotidiennes de ses riches habitants.
Après un léger repas, l'excursion se poursuit au port de Torre Annunziata, où vous descendrez sous le niveau de la rue jusqu'à l'ancienne Oplontis. Classée au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, cette zone et ses deux vastes villas abritent des peintures murales parmi les mieux préservées de l'époque romaine.
Votre guide archéologue vous présentera le contexte historique, culturel et architectural, pendant que vous admirez les merveilles d'Oplontis. Autrefois habitées par l'élite romaine, les couleurs azur profond, orange et doré de leurs fresques et mosaïques de style pompéien ne vous laisseront pas indifférent. L'utilisation complexe des couleurs et des ombres donne à ces peintures une impression de tridimensionnalité, donnant vie à ces scènes antiques.

After a light lunch, continue your journey to the port of Torre Annunziata, where you'll descend below street level to ancient Oplontis. As a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site, the area and its two sprawling villas boast some of the best-preserved wall paintings of the Roman period. Your archeologist guide will offer historical, cultural and architectural context as you take in Oplontis' wonders. Once inhabited by the Roman elite, marvel at Pompeiian-style frescoes and mosaics, finished with deep azures, oranges, and sunny golds.
