8 mins 37 secs (English synch: Nil)
In Torre Annunziata, near Naples, archaeologists are
approaching the end of a seven-year project that will
eventually reveal the best preserved Roman villa in
the world. So far, 46 rooms have been unearthed from
beneath the same layer of volcanic ash that devastated,
yet preserved, the town of Pompei in AD 79. The villa
was once one of the largest residences in the Roman
Empire town of Oplontis and its owner clearly spent
large sums on its decorations. The stunning wall
paintings are as vivid as if they had been executed
yesterday. This report looks at the best of them and at
other important features of the project.

Oplonti - Villa Poppea
La villa di Poppea
Situata nell’antica Oplontis, zona suburbana di Pompei corrispondente all’antica Torre Annunziata, la villa è attribuita a Poppea Sabina, seconda moglie dell'imperatore Nerone.
L’impianto originario, che risale metà del I secolo a.C., venne ampliato alla metà del I sec. d.C.
Si distinguono nettamente due settori: il primo organizzato attorno al grande atrio e dotato di un ambiente termale; il secondo gravitante sulla piscina. Non mancano gli ambienti produttivi, come quello con il torchio per la pigiatura dell’uva.
In origine la villa si affacciava sul mare con terrazze, giardini e belvedere sui quali si aprono gli ambienti di soggiorno con affreschi che riproducono architetture reali ricche di dettagli - maschere, animali, cesti di frutta - che le rendono uniche.
Statue e fontane decoravano gli spazi aperti e la straordinaria piscina, sulla quale si affaccia un porticato decorato con raffinati affreschi popolati da piccoli animali - rane, caprette, uccelli e lucertole – posati sui tralci vegetali; su questo si aprono ambienti con straordinarie pitture di giardino che instaurano un gioco di richiami tra natura reale e dipinta.
La zona orientale è quasi interamente scavata , mentre quella occidentale non è stata del tutto posta in luce per la presenza della strada moderna e di un edificio militare, l' antica Real Fabbrica d'Armi.

Oplontis Villa Poppaea
This is a rapid walk-round the so-called VIlla Poppaea at Oplontis, Italy. It's a short walk from the Circumvesuviana station at Torre Annunziata (one stop north from Pompeii). It is believed to have belonged to the family of Poppaea, wife of Nero (AD 54-68) though the evidence is circumstantial rather than actual. The site today is celebrated for its extensive wall-paintings and has recently been expensively restored. It's certainly worth a visit but it's a tad sterile as there are no finds on display and little in the way of explanatory material.

Villa di Poppaea, Oplontis - Emperor Nero's wife's residence near Pompeii
Two thousand years ago a woman called Poppaea Sabina lived in this large seaside villa in the ancient Roman town of Oplontis (now Torre Annuziata) near Pompeii.
Poppaea was the second wife of the brutal Roman Emperor Nero who persecuted the early Christians.
Poppaea is believed to have been the owner of the villa although some historians think that the villa was owned by Emperor Nero himself. Regardless of who was the actual owner, both Nero and Poppaea used the seaside villa.as their second home.
Following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD.79 the villa, also known as Villa Oplontis, was buried in ash and lay undiscovered until the first phase of excavation began in the 1800's. The second round of excavation began in the 1960s.
To reach the well preserved villa with its beautiful frescoes and Olympic sized pool, take the Circumvesuviana train line and get off at Torre Annunziata - Oplonti (one stop from Pompeii Scavi). On exiting the train station turn left, walk to the end of the street then turn right and continue walking down the hill. The villa is easy to spot and is only a 5 minute walk from the train station.
Italy, we explore ruins, Paestum, Oplontis and Ostia Antica
Exploring Greek and Roman ruins, a great way to spend part of our Italian trip. It is like living in the History Channel!!

Roman Villa Poppaea (Villa Oplontis)
Photographer:Samuel Magal (samuel@sites-and-photos.com)
The Villa of Poppaea was first discovered in the eighteenth century during the construction of the Sarno Canal which cut through the central hall of the villa. Between 1839 and 1840 explorations of the site were undertaken by Bourbon excavators who removed several paintings from the villa .The excavators used a tunneling technique that was also employed at Herculaneum, and uncovered part of the peristyle and garden area.
Area Archeologica di Stabia HD
Scavi archeologici di Stabia
L’Area Archeologica di Stabia si estende su circa 20.000 metri quadri. I primi scavi furono effettuati in epoca borbonica tra il 1742 e il 1782. Ripresi nel 1950 portarono alla luce alcune delle ville già scavate e indicate nelle planimetrie di epoca borbonica come Villa Arianna e Villa San Marco.
Di dimensioni minori rispetto agli scavi di Pompei e di Ercolano, permettono di osservare un diverso aspetto dello stile di vita degli antichi romani: infatti, mentre le prime due località erano delle città, Stabia, dopo un passato di borgo fortificato, era in epoca romana un luogo di villeggiatura, in cui furono costruite numerose ville residenziali decorate con pitture e abbellite con suppellettili; non mancavano, tuttavia, ville rustiche.
Gli scavi archeologici hanno riportato alla luce solo una piccola parte dell'antica città: sono visitabili la Villa San Marco, Villa Arianna e il secondo complesso; certa è l'esistenza di altre ville, come quella denominata del Pastore o di Anteros ed Heraclo, ancora parzialmente o completamente interrate.
Villa di Oplontis, Poppaea Sabina, Villa of Emperor Nero of Rome Buried by Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD
the villa was owned by the Imperial Emperor Nero, but that it was largely used by his notorious second wife, Poppaea, she was a manipulative, scheming woman who married a friend of Nero in order to get close to him. Poppaea seduced Nero and divorced her husband, then convinced him to murder his mother and first wife, leaving her free to step into the role of Empress.
Poppaea filled her villa on the sea with statuary and employed the best artisans to cover the walls with exquisite frescoes and create elaborate mosaic floors. One whole wing housed servants, who would have tended to the needs of guests during lavish parties (some say orgies) that were held around a large swimming pool.
Naples (Napoli), Campania, Italy : Gateway to Pompeii, Herculaneum & Mt Vesuvius
Naples (Napoli as it is known in Italian) is the capital city of Campania, a region in the south of Italy.
Naples is the gateway to the famous archaeological sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum, two towns buried by volcanic ash and pumice in AD 79.
To reach the archaeological sites you can take the Circumvesuviana train line from Napoli Garibaldi Station to Sorrento. The train stops at Ercolano (for Herculaneum), Pompei Scavi and Torre Annunziata (OPLONTIS), the Villa di Poppaea
Mount Vesuvius/ Vesuvio is the famous dormant volcano that looms over the city and the Bay of Naples It's best to have a map if you're searching for a place to take a good panoramic shot with Vesuvius in the background.
Tourists visit the area around Piazza del Plebiscito, a large square with its Royal Palace. Along the Promenade are the Castles dell' Ovo and Nuovo and a beautiful fountain,
fontana del Immacollatella
I ventured into a another side of town, a place were tourists wouldn't normally set foot. I came across a rubbish tip with boxes, litter and plastic bottles dumped by the side of the road. Perhaps this was the tail end of the ' rubbish crisis'!
TRAVEL VLOG || Napoli, Sorrento, Italia
***MISSPELLED NAPOLI BY ACCIDENT IN THE BEGINNING LOL SORRY!DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL NOW -_- #amateur ***
Travel diaries continue as I visit the birthplace of pizza, Naples, and visit its nearby neighbor Sorrento!
-----------------------------------------------
Here are some tips to enjoy Naples:
1.) Keep your valuables close to you AT ALL TIMES. The pickpockets in Naples are PROS, probably the most notorious out of all of Italy. Make sure you hold on to your handbags, even cross body bags because these pickpockets are known for cutting the strap while on motorcycles and just getting away. Fellas, make sure your wallet is in a safe place!
2.) Naples is a great day trip from Rome, only 2 hrs by train, I believe I only paid $25 roundtrip so it's not a bad deal at all and you get to see a completely different side of Italy. You can get your tickets early in advance on
3.) Naples is KNOWN as the birthplace of pizza so why not indulge? I visited a great pizzeria by the name of Trattoria Medina near the Port and the handmade pizzas were amazing! I also recommend L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele which is one of the BEST places in Napoli for pizza, possibly the world!
4.) Like I said before, there are HUNDREDS of churches in Naples, each church having a different history behind it, some built over 1000 years ago. Be sure to visit these churches, take in all of the beautiful architecture and just admire all of its rich history!
5.) Want to visit the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii or Sorrento? It is close by, less than an hour away and very accessible by train or car!
How to get to Sorrento:
The Circumvesuviana Train is a regional network of lines running out of Naples to the east of the city around Mount Vesuvius. It is not part of the Italian national rail network so you cannot buy tickets from TrenItalia on-line or from rail stations nationally. For visitors the line that is used extensively is the Naples to Sorrento via Pompeii and Herculaneum line, a journey that takes just over an hour with countless stops along the way. Frequencies are very good, around every 30 minutes all day. The stations that are most of interest to tourists between Sorrento and Naples are Castellammare di Stabia (cable car to Monte Faito), Pompeii (archaeological area and bus connection to Vesuvius), Torre Annunziata (for Oplontis) and Ercolano Scavi (for Herculaneum archaeological area). You can easily take the circumvesuviana from Napoli Centrale on Piazza Garibaldi. Also note that the part of Napoli Centrale that’s dedicated to the Circumvesuviana is downstairs from the regular trains. Make sure you ask the ticket booth agent for a roundtrip ticket in case you plan on staying out longer before they close. The round trip ticket only cost 8euro so it was a great deal indeed! I will say this, since it is VERY CHEAP and tourists mostly take this train due to historical sites along the way, pickpockets are NOTORIOUS on boarding the circumvesuviana. We were lucky to be one of the first to board the train so we were able to get some seats, but halfway through the journey, a lot of tourists boarding the train had to stand up and it got packed really quick which is a playground for pickpockets. So traveler, BEWARE! Seeing Mt. Vesuvius from the train window was also a great sight to see, along with the tiny towns along the way. You can’t get lost, Sorrento is the final stop for the train so as soon as the door opens, everyone gets out. It was a nice 45 minute train ride I must say, and to be greeted with the warm salt air as I got out was quite delightful. Navigating around town was pretty easy, as it was a “resort town”, It seemed to me that there were more tourists than locals, but overall you just couldn’t get lost. There are several maps downstairs the train station which are pretty easy to follow. Sorrento is known for their limoncello so be prepared to smell the zestiness in the air. Pretty strong too in terms of alcohol content. Every shop owners handed out samples of their Limoncello so I was pretty much getting buzzed for free lol
The dirty lens:
I know, I know, the lens is interfering once again with the quality of the video.Please forgive me, for some reason it didn't show up when I was taking pictures but it shows up when I'm filming? Again, I didn't realize until I got home and started editing! :(
