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 house, with its classical layout around an atrium and a peristyle, belonged to the banker of Pompeii, and his entire archives consisting of 154 waxed writing tablets dating between 53 and 62 A.D. were found intact. These consisted of sale contract for land, animal or slaves and receipts for the payment of colonial taxes, as L.C. Jucundus was also the official tax collector.
The bronze portrait – commissioned by the freedman Felix – found in the tablinum of the house gives us a clear image of what his father looked like. In this house, researchers found two marble bas-reliefs (both subsequently stolen). One of them depicts the Temple of Jupiter which whose d ... continue

FORBIDDEN POMPEII: IMAGES AND NEWS
Love was a common topic of conversation in Pompeii. Feelings, passions, poetic love, sex, homosexuality, prostitution and so forth were all part of daily life and not a source of prejudice. The concept of “obscenity” seems to have been unknown. Love and sex were considered earthly practices of a man’s life that were encouraged by the benevolence of Venus. 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.
