Sumptuous villa of Pison, Julius Caesar's father-in-law, with a library and a collection of charred papyri

Those who can arrange to visit it will discover a huge villa, unearthed in the 18th century and still being excavated (last campaign in 2009). It is said that this sumptuous building belonged to Pison, Julius Caesar's father-in-law. His library has returned a formidable collection of 1,800 charred papyri, with previously unknown Greek texts, including Epicurean philosophy. The exceptional collection of bronze and marble sculptures discovered there is now housed in the Museum of Naples.

Exceptionnelles mosaïques incroyablement bien conservés. Le lieu est mal indiqué et les parkings sont rares mais les efforts seront récompensés.
