Open days were a great success

The archaeological site at Masseria De Carolis was open to the public the 7th and 8th of May.
To celebrate its bicentennial, this weekend the town of Pollena Trocchia opened its cultural heritage sites to the public the 7th and 8th of May. This was a great opportunity to visit the Roman baths at Masseria De Carolis and other sites which might be of particular appeal for scholars interested also in Classical Reception and Volcanology. Among the wonders of the town, there are a Roman column base in the local church, an 18th century "Roman ruin" (but with a real Roman altar) in a Neapolitan nobleman's villa, and Vesuvius' small volcanic vents (you can actually enter into one of them!).
This has been a great occasion for us to connect with the local population and deliver the results of 5 years of work.
We are very thankful to the archaeologists and volunteers who helped us set up this event!
