Everything is ready for the inauguration of the Archaeological Exhibition “Pompeii beyond the walls – the villas of Terzigno in the shadow of Vesuvius”, scheduled for September 19, 2019, at 11:00 a.m., set up at the MATT – Terzigno Territorial Archaeological Museum in Corso Luigi Einaudi.
The exhibition, in the unique renovated building of the former municipal slaughterhouse, will display archaeological finds from Roman villas discovered in the Ranieri quarry area in Terzigno, buried by the great eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD: parts of frescoed walls and finds discovered in the villas called “Villa 1”, “Villa 2” and “Villa 6” which came to light during the various excavation campaigns and were restored.
During the opening hours this weekend, you can also admire the painting of the Lararium, found in the kitchen area of ​​“Villa 6”, with the representation of the two Lares and the sacrificing Genius and with the depiction of two snakes approaching a plate of offerings. From next Monday, the fresco will be hosted, for a few months, in another important exhibition in Rome. From Monday 23 September, however, the Exhibition will be open to the public at different times (info on www.museomatt.it).
