The excursion starts by a walking tour around Pompeii to visit some of the most important buildings in town bringing the ancient city alive. Pompeii founded by the Italics people, the Oscans,  became a colony of Rome in the 1st century BC. The city was buried in 79 AD, during the terrible and devastating eruption of the Vesuvius volcano, in layers of ash and lapillus and lost from memory. In 1748, during the reign of King Charles of Bourbon, excavations began, luring royalty, writers, artists, and ordinary people from everywhere. They had an irresistible curiosity to visit and see for themselves the ancient city as it was brought back to the world, almost intact in its splendor! Walking  on the original streets we pass typical shops and buildings that were used during daily life: bakeries, termopoliums, the public baths, a domus. Reaching the Forum area we are surrounded by: the Basilica,the Macellum, theCapitolium, the Building of Eumachia, the Vespasianus and Apollo Temple. During our tour we also see some of thevictims of the eruption, most of them asphyxiated.

After a full immersion in the ancient history we reach by car the charming town of Sorrento, surrounded by a marvelous landscape of olive groves, in the area they make an excellent extra virgin olive oil. Sorrento has been celebrated as a prime tourist resort since the time of the Grand Tour in the 18th century. Enjoy a stroll through the narrow streets ofthe historical center spending your time for some sightseeing and lunch.

Once back in Naples, before reaching the historical centre, we will pass by car along some of the most important monuments of the City: the imposing Castle “Maschio Angioino”Opera House San Carlo and the Galleria Umberto I, one of the most beautiful square’s in Italy: Piazza del Plebiscito. The square is surrounded by impressive buildings, such as the elegant Royal Palace and the neoclassical church of San Francesco di Paola.

The historical centre of Naples is the largest in Europe, protected by UNESCO, its host one of the most famous museum in the world: the Masonic temple par excellence: the Chapel of Sansevero. Built in the 16th century, this family chapel was completely restyled in the mid 18th century by Prince Raimondo di Sangro: a nobleman, freemason, inventor, alchemist, scientist, and patron of the arts; the Prince called on the most important artists of his days to embellish the chapel, such as Corradini, Sammartino, Queirolo, Persico. The Chapel is a wonder of art, famous especially for the “Cristo velato” (Veiled Christ), its marble veil is so realistic that it's tempting to try to lift it and view Christ underneath.
