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 the only building in Pompeii which was originally built as a laundry and fuller’s workshop; the three other establishments of this kind were restructured residential buildings. The fuller’s workshop provided services to numerous clothiers, wool makers and tailors working in the town. According to the electoral slogans painted on the façade (“the united fullers recommend… Stephanus recommends’), the establishment has been attributed to a certain Stephanus. A press used to fold cloth was placed against the left wall of the large entrance hall. Past the entrance hall, we enter an atrium with a flat roof which served as a terrace to hang out the washing.

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.
