Herculaneum, the pearl of the gulf
Life flowed in a pleasant way in the charming town washed by the sea, on the slopes of Vesuvius. A jewel, this is how Herculaneus appeared, built according to the model of a cultured Greek city, Naples and the refined lifestyle, with modern and tastefully furnished houses. But nothing is forever and the quiet was interrupted by that eruption of 79 d.c. when a sea of mud sealed everything. It was not a common mud but a volcanic mud that hardened into stone, so when the quiet returned, Herculaneum was not even the name anymore. Everything seemed lost and forgotten forever, until for a fortuitous event, the excavation of a well, a little at a time, a part of the city began to return to being kissed by the light of the sun. It is from this point that our journey begins.
