It is the only city in the world that has not sunk in the immense shipwreck of ancient civilisation. Naples is a Pompeii that has never been buried.” In the company of an expert storyteller, embark on a journey through the vibrant heart of this mysterious southern capital, discovering decorated catacombs, richly encoded chapels and aged rituals.

The first darkened room showcases five of Classical Greece’s best attempts to define the indefinable, all dramatically spotlit. Ilissos, the river god whose turbulent course has flowed from Athens to London and then, most recently, to St. Petersburg and back, has a beauty where flesh, drapery and water coalesce across his body. Apoxyomenos radiates a self-confidence in his muscular body. Doryphoros (via Georg Römer’s stunning bronze copy) finds beauty in mathematical perfection. The beauty of the Townley Diskobolos lies in the grace he achieves despite his clenched crouch. However, newspaper coverage of the exhibition has focused on the one female statue amidst the buff young males. The opening of the exhibition is Aphrodite’s bottom. The statue is turned 180 degrees from the angle at which she is normally first encountered on the way to the Duveen Gallery. It is easy to see why we start this way.

Main Entrance Hall and reception area View from the gardens Conference hall Classroom Computer and Internet lab View of the mountains behind A perfect location for international study and research in a region still as yet little studied The Naples region and southern Italy are among the richest cultural and historic areas in Europe, but also the least studied. The Gulf of Naples has always been a passageway for diverse cul- tures and people throughout history and the inception of many civilizations took place here, leaving an incredible wealth of art and culture. While Rome, Florence and Venice are home to multiple in- ternational study and cultural centers well-equipped with facilities incorporated into the urban fabric of these Italian cities, there are no equivalent facilities in southern Italy, making the Vesuvian Insti- tute a one-of-a kind cultural and research center in the heart of the historically signifi cant Campania region.

  • Pompeii and the Roman Villa
    Pompeii and the Roman Villa ART AND CULTURE AROUND THE BAY OF NAPLES __________________________________________________________________________________________________ HE ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHER EPICURUS STATED: “PLEASURE IS THE BEGINNING and end of living happily.” This statement rang true for prominent Romans who spent their leisure time in luxurious villas and houses in the towns of TPompeii, Herculaneum, and other ancient Roman towns that were centers of activity along the Bay of Naples in the first century BC and the first century AD. Epicurus’s philosophy appealed to many Romans who retreated to their country homes in the spring and summer months to enjoy a respite from their working lives in Rome. Pompeii, in the region of Campania, retained its Greek culture and character after becoming a Roman colony in 80 BC. The Romans considered Greece a source of culture, beauty, and wisdom, and knowledge of Greek culture was a status symbol that signaled refinement and education. Greek influence pervaded the decor of Roman residences around the Bay of Naples and was reflected in the works of art both acquired and emulated by Roman patrons. Some Romans, when on vacation, even wore Greek dress—such as a chiton for men or a peplos for women—rather than the standard toga of the day. These curriculum materials explore the cultural and artistic life in Pompeii and other towns around the Bay of Naples in the centuries leading up to the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79. Two works of art, the mosaic Plato’s Academy (1st century BC–1st century AD) and the fresco Garden Scene (1st century BC–1st century AD), are examples of the embellishments applied to the gardens and interiors of Pompeian villas.

The rich natural beauty of Campania makes it highly important in the tourism industry. Campania was a full- fledged part of the Roman Republic by the end of the 4th centu- ry BC, valued for its pastures and rich countryside. Naples, with its Greek language and customs, made it a cen- ter of Hellenistic culture for the Romans, creating the first traces of Greco-Roman culture, the area had many duchies and principalities during the Middle Ages, in the hands of the Byzantine Empire (also re- populous in the European Union. The region is home ferred to as the Eastern Roman Empire) and to 10 of the 55 UNESCO sites in Italy, like Pompeii and Herculaneum, the Royal Palace of Caserta, the Amalfi Coast and the Historic Centre of Naples. Moreover, Mount Vesuvius is part of the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves. Coastal areas in the region were colonized by the Ancient Greeks between the 8th and 7th centu- ries BC, becoming part of the so-called Magna Græcia.
