Leave Rome along the Autostrada del Sole
southwards. Halfway to Naples, the Abbey of
Montecassino, completely rebuilt after the total
destruction in the Second World War, can be seen high up on the hill
to our left. Then on into the fertile countryside surrounding
Naples. After a short sightseeing,
on the way to Pompeii stop for a
visit to an ancient cameos and coral factory in Torre del Greco.
Then on to Pompeii for lunch at a restaurant and visit of the
excavations. 19 Centuries ago during the summer of 79 a.C., Vesuvius
suddenly re-erupted completely destroying Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Its ashes, gases and hot clouds claimed numerous lives but at the
same time preserved the existing environment and a way of life
typical of the ancient Roman society at its height. The layer of
ashes preserved intact people and everyday items, food and domestic
animals, all remained steady and hidden until the first half of 18th
Century when regular digs were organized. At the end of the visit
continue to Rome with arrival at the hotels or nearest point.
