NOTES IN THE AIR - EVENING CONCERT IN VILLA RUFOLO AT RAVELLO
Details
Built between the XI and the XIII century, when Ravello was founded by Roman aristocrats, the Villa Rufolo is a standing example of the Arabian style architecture that was typical in the south of Italy during the Norman domination.
Belonged to the powerful Rufolo family, to the Confalone, the Muscettola, to the D'Afflitto and, finally, to Francis Neville Reid, the villa was mentioned in a famous work of Italian ancient literature, the "Decameron", by Giovanni Boccaccio. The beautiful gardens and the view of Villa Rufolo, that have bewitched so many travelers, were also the source of inspiration for the famous Richard Wagner, who used his experiences from the Villa to compose his “Parsifal”.
We arrange a limousine (full optional with air conditioning) with an English-speaking driver, the tickets for the concert.

POMPEII MONUMENT OF THE DAY
This is one of the so-called ‘town villas’ which was built on more than one level (possibly four) against the town walls in the last period of the town’s life. The villa had a fine view over the Gulf of Naples and its interior was entirely decorated in the Pompeian fourth style. The villa itself is the result of the fusion of a number of previously built houses and so, in a tiny room in the central apsidal structure, we can find the remains of second style frescoes, including what appears to be a portrait of the Venus of Pompeii. The side walls in the same area are also decorated with stars and small moon designs, suggesting that the room may have been used for astr ... continue

The thousands of examples of graffiti found on the town’s walls are unequivocal proof of what the people of Pompeii thought about love and sex.
