Frescoes from an imperial-era villaGli affreschi di una villa d’età imperiale

Room 16

Elegant, richly coloured, decorated with vegetal, symbolic and architectural motifs. These are the frescoes that once adorned the rooms of a Roman villa from the 1st century AD, discovered just a short distance from the castle. The fragments that made their reconstruction possible come from a rubble pit uncovered during the excavations in Torre: an ancient fill where, after the villa was abandoned, the painted plasters had been discarded. Recovered, studied and reassembled, they can now be seen in a display that allows you to imagine the splendour of an imperial-era interior. A rare example of a “museum at home”, where the traces of Roman life come back to life in the very place where they were created.
