Tour “The Secrets of Pompeii: Eroticism and Daily Life in Ancient Rome”

Available languages: ITA / ENG
Available for groups, couples and travel agencies

A fascinating itinerary rich in history, where the intimacy and beauty of the Roman world are revealed without veils. Through the perfectly preserved streets of ancient Pompeii, we’ll discover how eros was not taboo, but an integral part of social, religious and domestic life. A sensory and intellectual journey, to discover symbols, gestures and meanings that still speak today with surprising immediacy.
During the visit, we’ll admire famous frescoes and mosaics with an erotic theme, precious testimonies that reveal a time when the body was considered harmony, desire, play and power. We will enter the spa, a theater of meetings and worldliness, to understand the dynamics of collective sensuality, and the famous Lupanare, an emblematic place where pleasure, work and rituals were intertwined.
A unique, elegant and stimulating experience, dedicated to those who want to understand the Roman world in all its richness – made up not only of architecture and politics, but also of emotions, senses and desire for beauty.
Accompanied by an authorized guide, an expert in Roman history and culture, we will explore domus, baths and taverns, retracing places where art and sensuality told the identity, roles and values of Pompeian society.
To make the path even more alive will be the presence of a professional actor, who will offer short theatrical interventions along the way: narrative fragments, historical anecdotes and interpretations that give voice to the characters of the time — merchants, matrons, slaves, visitors to the brothel. An engaging, respectful and evocative way to get in touch with the original atmosphere of the city.
