Testimonials

(19-10-2019) We booked the last minute Amalfi coast tour for 38 Euros which included a bus ride to Positano and Amalfi. We booked the day before we attended and it was very straightforward to do so. The price was not much more than if we arranged our own transport so I thought it was a good deal and saved me the bother of arranging myself. Our host Marco was informative and funny. The driver Francesco was great and navigated us out of some very hair raising and tricky moments on the coastal road which is an experience in itself. We stopped off in Positano for around 1.5 hours and then upon arriving at Amalfi took the optional boat tour for 12 euros which was the best part of the day and I would highly recommend paying the extra as Amalfi is small and you don\'t need all the given time to explore (we had another 1.5 hours after the boat tour to go around Amalfi town). Overall, was a good tour, well worth the money and a easy way to take in the coastal sites.

(22-10-2019) Really enjoyed this tour - the perfect length to enjoy seeing the main sights of Pompeii. The tour guide was funny and knowledgable and told us so many things we would never have going out without having a guide. The group was relatively small and the pace wasn’t too fast. Plenty of opportunities to take pictures and ask questions. So glad we decided to go with the two hour walking tour as we found out so much and ensured we learnt more about this interesting place. Thank you!

(10-10-2019) We did two trips with Tempio and I can not recommend them highly enough. Great value and allowed me to change one date of the tour easily. All staff were friendly and helpful. We did Pompei first and the two hour tour was fantastic, well presented and informative. My only suggestion would be to give some advice about using the trains, and what platform to go from. Pompei tour was incredible. Amalfi tour with beautiful LuLu and Enzo was great, really good value well organised and I would say a highlight of our week here. Thank you Tempio for good value and well organised days out

(08-09-2019) Abbiamo fatto due escursioni con Tempio Travel e sono state entrambe da 10 e lode. Professionali e preparati su tutto quello che c’è da sapere sulla Costiera Amalfitana. I tour sono organizzati benissimo in modo da ottimizzare al meglio i tempi e se dovessi tornare a Sorrento sicuramente farei altri tour con loro!!! Bravi!!!

Stunning new Roman frescoes uncovered at Pompeii, the ancient Italian city frozen in time by a volcano

By Haley Ott

Updated on: April 11, 2024 / 10:06 AM EDT / CBS News

Stunning Roman frescoes have been uncovered by archeologists in Pompeii, the ancient city destroyed by an eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius in the year 79 AD. Experts say the newly discovered frescoes are among the finest ever to emerge at the renowned archeological site.

The works of art line the high walls of what was once a large banquet hall. The walls themselves were painted mostly black, and the figures on the frescoes appear to emerge from the shadows. Site director Dr. Gabriel Zuchtriegel told CBS News partner network BBC News that the dark color was likely used to hide stains from the lamps that lit the hall after the sun went down.

"In the shimmering light, the paintings would have almost come to life," Zuchtriegel said.

Two pieces dominate the hall; one depicts the Greek god Apollo trying to seduce the priestess Cassandra. The second piece shows Prince Paris meeting Helen of Troy.

About a third of the "lost city" of Pompeii remains obscured by volcanic debris from the eruption almost two millennia ago. As scientists make new finds, they quickly move them to a storeroom to protect them from the elements. 

The newly discovered frescoes, however, cannot be moved, so they have been protected with temporary roofing. Plaster glue is also being injected into the walls behind the artwork to stop them from falling down.

"We have a passion and a deep love for what we're doing, because what we're uncovering and protecting is for the joy also of the generations that come after us," chief restorer Dr. Roberta Prisco told the BBC, adding that the work was very stressful.

The dig site is much bigger than just the banquet hall.

Another fresco recovered from what was once one of Pompeii's grand properties had been on a ceiling, but it was smashed by the eruption that destroyed the city. Archeologists were able to lay out the pieces like a puzzle and recreate landscapes, theatrical masks, and Egyptian characters.

"This is my favorite discovery in this excavation because it is complex and rare," Dr. Alessandro Russo, co-lead archeologist on the dig, told the BBC. "It is high-quality, for a high-status individual."

In a bakery next to the grand property, the skeletons of two adults and a child were discovered. 

Archeologists believe they may have been slaves who were trapped and couldn't flee the eruption, and were killed by falling stones.

"When we excavate, we wonder what we're looking at," co-lead archeologist Dr. Gennaro Iovino told the BBC. "Much like a theater stage, you have the scenery, the backdrop, and the culprit, which is Mount Vesuvius. The archeologist has to be good at filling in the gaps — telling the story of the missing cast, the families and children, the people who are not there anymore."

The team's discovery was just one of a number of recent revelations from the site, after they found other mythological-themed frescoes in early March and then, just weeks later, a construction site that was being worked on right up until the eruption.

The archeologists said near the end of March that they'd found a home construction project that was frozen in time by the eruption, with materials such as bricks and tools still piled up in the reception area of the home.

In Ancient Pompeii, Dinner Surrounded by Myth

A frescoed dining room is the latest find in an excavation campaign to shore up an area of the site, which was destroyed by a powerful volcanic eruption, and better preserve it.

By Elisabetta Povoledo

Reporting from Rome

Archaeologists working at the ancient site of Pompeii unveiled their latest find on Thursday: a formal dining room that offers a glimpse of how some of the wealthier denizens lived, or at least the art they could meditate on as they munched.

Painted dark black so that soot from candle smoke wouldn’t stain them, experts said, the walls are divided into panels. Several of them are decorated with couples who are associated with the Trojan War.

The dining room is part of an insula, the equivalent of a city block, that has been excavated in connection with a project to shore up the perimeter between the excavated and unexcavated areas of the city, part of which remains underground. The project will help better preserve the site.

“People would meet to dine after sunset; the flickering light of the lamps had the effect of making the images appear to move, especially after a few glasses of good Campanian wine,” Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the director of the archaeological park of Pompeii, said in a news release about the dining area. “The mythological couples provided ideas for conversations about the past and life, only seemingly of a merely romantic nature. In reality, they refer to the relationship between the individual and fate.”

The couples include Helen of Troy and Paris, who is identified in the scene with a Greek inscription by his other name, Alexandros, while a panel on the same wall shows Helen’s parents: Leda, queen of Sparta, and Zeus, depicted as the swan who seduced her. Across the room, facing Helen, her handmaiden and Paris — and a despondent-looking dog — is Cassandra, who could see the future, along with Apollo, who had cursed her so her prophecies would not be believed.

There is evidence that the room was part of a building that was being restored when Mount Vesuvius abruptly erupted, burying the city in pumice stones and ash in A.D. 79, Mr. Zuchtriegel said in a telephone interview.

“It seems like the entire insula was being reconstructed at the moment of the eruption,” he said. Mr. Zuchtriegel said the reconstruction might have been the result of an earthquake that had shaken the city “a few months” before Vesuvius blew.

In another recently excavated chamber adjacent to the dining room, archaeologists found stacked roof tiles, work tools, bricks and lime, discoveries that offered insight into ancient building techniques and the use of concrete.

During the past year, various areas of the insula have been unearthed, offering fresh understanding about how the ancient residents lived. For example, one room linked to a bakery suggests that some enslaved people lived alongside donkeys in a dark room where the only window was covered in bars. A fresco in another chamber seems to show that locals liked pizza, or at least a prototype of sorts . Electoral inscriptions in the bakery hint that buying votes was not unheard-of.

The dining room frescoes are painted in the so-called Third Style, popular in Pompeii from about 15 B.C. to A.D. mid-first century, Mr. Zuchtriegel said, and there is evidence that they had been retouched and restored in ancient times.

“The colors are a little different, you can tell the difference,” he said.

The dining room is currently closed to the public because more excavations are underway.

“We don’t know what’s there — that’s the great part,” Mr. Zuchtriegel said.
