Finally you will be able to admire the splendid frescoes of the House of the Vettii and discover many other fascinating and at the same time disturbing corners of Pompeii.

Of ancient origins, certainly before the 1st century BC, as evidenced by the dice-shaped capitals and the tuff impluvium, the house was purchased at the beginning of the 1st century by a rich family of freedmen, dedicated to trade, the Vettii, of which two rings were found, which also served as a seal and several electoral posters: it was in this period, thanks to the excellent economic possibilities of the family, that the structure was totally restored and enriched with works of art, mostly in quarto style. A second renovation became necessary following the Pompeii earthquake of 62; buried under a blanket of ash and lapilli due to the eruption of Vesuvius in 79, it was brought to light in 1894. In December 2016, after a restoration lasting twelve years, the house was reopened to the public.
