approximately 200 Carabinieri from the Torre Annunziata Carabinieri Group took to the field working in the territories of Torre Annunziata Forty-eight precautionary measures executed an eight million euro drug business that was concentrated in Torre Annunziata but moved These are the fixed points of the investigation by the Torre Annunziata Public Prosecutor's Office which resulted in a precautionary custody order against 51 suspects for various drug dealing and possession for the purpose of dealing crimes of narcotics the investigating judge who issued the measures ordered 15 prison measures 17 house arrest and 19 obligations to sign The measures were executed against 48 suspects two are currently abroad and the third is still actively sought approximately 200 carabinieri from the Torre Annunziata Carabinieri Group took to the field this morning engaging in operations in the territories of Torre Annunziata Some measures were notified to suspects already detained in prison for other reasons: the detainees in question are in the districts of Parma The investigations conducted by the Carabinieri revealed that the suspects had a turnover of approximately 8 million euros with over 500.000 euros in cash seized by investigators during the investigations conducted through a massive telephone and environmental interception activity allowed them to document and reconstruct the dynamics relating to the management of the drug dealing activity in 15 squares in various cities as well as recovering and seizing a total of 19 kg of cocaine The investigations revealed that some of the suspects used the homes of people with no criminal record and elderly people to hide large quantities of narcotics while others exploited the presence of newborns to evade possible controls The supply of the various drug dealing areas was carried out through the use of trusted couriers who used cars equipped with secret compartments in which the drugs were cleverly hidden investigators made seven arrests in flagrante delicto also identifying people in possession of illegally held weapons Read also other news on Nova News Click here and receive updates on WhatsApp Follow us on the social

the territory of Torre Annunziata The Oplonti municipality announced this through a press release The decision was taken at the end of the meeting of the Provincial Committee for Public Order and Security held on Monday morning on the security emergency in Torre Annunziata "It is an important measure that is part of the activities already started some time ago by the Prefect and the heads of the police force to combat crime - said the mayor Corrado Cuccurullo – The issue of security remains a priority for the municipal administration I express my satisfaction for this further decision of the prefect” The measure provides for the prohibition of staying in the identified areas for individuals who assume aggressive threatening or persistently annoying attitudes and who have already been reported to the judicial authorities for crimes against the person illegal possession and illegal carrying of weapons with the first three zones: the area that includes Via Prota Via Gino Alfani and Corso Umberto (from the corner with Via Gino Alfani to Via Poerio); the area of ​​the Ffss Torre Annunziata Città station and Piazza Nicotera; the area of ​​the Ffss Torre Annunziata Centrale station

богатом образе жизни которым наслаждались состоятельные граждане ранней Римской империи La erupción del Vesubio ocurrida el 24 de agosto del año 79 sepultó las dos florecientes ciudades romanas de Pompeya y Herculano así como numerosas mansiones de las comarcas circundantes Desde mediados del siglo XVIII se empezaron a desenterrar sus ruinas paulatinamente y se hicieron accesibles al público La vasta extensión ocupada por los restos de ciudad mercantil de Pompeya contrasta con el espacio más reducido de los vestigios Las soberbias pinturas murales de la Villa Oplontis son un vívido testimonio de la vida opulenta de los ciudadanos romanos más pudientes en los primeros años de la Roma imperial The World Heritage property includes three different archaeological areas: the ancient towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum together with the Villa of the Mysteries (to the west of Pompeii) and the Villa of the Papyri (to the west of Herculaneum) and the Villa A (Villa of Poppaea) and Villa B (Villa of Lucius Crassius Tertius) in Torre Annunziata The vast expanse of the commercial town of Pompeii contrasts with the smaller but better-preserved remains of the smaller Herculaneum while Villa A in Torre Annunziata gives a vivid impression of the opulent lifestyle enjoyed by the wealthier citizens of the early Roman Empire it engulfed the two flourishing Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum as well as the many wealthy countryside villas in the area Pompeii was buried largely by a thick layer of volcanic ash and lapilli and Herculaneum disappeared under pyroclastic surges and flows These sites have been progressively excavated and made accessible to the public since the mid-18th century in the case of Herculaneum large areas of the ancient town still lie under the modern town and have only been explored and surveyed by the network of 18th-century tunnels that drew the attention of Grand Tour visitors the basis still today for visiting the Herculaneum's underground ancient theatre These areas are mostly not currently included in the World Heritage property with its well-preserved buildings in an excavated area of 44 ha is the only archaeological site in the world that provides a complete picture of an ancient Roman city The main forum is flanked by a number of imposing public buildings the Basilica and temples and within the city there are also many public bath complexes In Herculaneum several impressive public buildings are well preserved including a spacious palaestra accessed through a monumental gateway one of which (Central Thermae) is monumental and vividly decorated The town is also noteworthy for the completeness of its shops still containing equipment such as enormous wine jars Herculaneum’s urban districts and seafront display a higher level of preservation with noteworthy conservation of upper floors thanks to the pyroclastic material that buried the town Organic matter was often carbonized by the high temperatures and exceptionally preserved finds include everyday objects such as foodstuffs architectural elements and wooden furniture Both Pompeii and Herculaneum are renowned for their remarkable series of residential and commercial buildings entirely inward-looking with a courtyard at its centre: the House of the Surgeon at Pompeii is a good example this type of house was enlarged and decorated with columns and arcades and equipped with large representative rooms of which the House of the Faun and the House of the Chaste Lovers are outstanding examples The suburban villas across the Vesuvian area are perhaps even more exceptional in terms of the scale of their buildings and grounds The Villa of the Mysteries is an enormous residence just outside Pompeii’s city walls developed from a modest house built in the 3rd century BC named from the remarkable wall paintings in the triclinium which depict the initiation rites ('mysteries') of the cult of Dionysus The two villas in Torre Annunziata are both extraordinary examples of suburban buildings in the countryside of Pompeii is a huge maritime residence built in the middle of the 1st century BCE enlarged during the Imperial period and under restoration at the moment of the eruption It is especially well known for its magnificent and well-preserved wall paintings one of the most important examples of Roman painting with their superb illusionistic frescos of doors villa B is an excellent example of villa rustica provided with rooms and spaces designated for market activities such as storage of amphoras and trading of locally produced foodstuffs There were many changes to these buildings over time in response to changing circumstances of the owners; these include repairs and adjustments that were a response to the seismic events that led up to the AD 79 eruption and reflect a community living with changing environmental and economic conditions A special feature of Pompeii is the wealth of graffiti on its walls An election was imminent at the time of the eruption and there are many political slogans scrawled on walls as well as others of a more personal nature the volcanic deposits preserved hundreds of wax tablets and more than 1,800 papyri scrolls containing Greek philosophical texts were found at the Villa of the Papyri The diverse range of literary sources available in Pompeii and Herculaneum provides a picture of the final decades of these ancient cities and the image of socially complex and dynamic communities representing exceptional evidence of typical ways of life in Roman society in the first century AD and the importance of texts in political and private life Other important sources of archaeological evidence are the human remains of those who died in the eruption Pompeii witnessed an early archaeological experiment when plaster was poured into voids found in the volcanic material and which allowed casts to be made of the forms of the human and animal victims and other organic material about 300 skeletons were discovered along the ancient shoreline The study of these significant samples of victims from the towns provides insight into their health lifestyles and death and a chance to compare the two data sets The casts themselves are important resources as they contain both skeletal remains and evidence of 19th- and 20th-century archaeological practice Another important legacy of the twentieth century was the presentation of Herculaneum to the public as an ‘open-air museum’ with buildings reconstructed based on archaeological evidence and displays of original objects within the archaeological site This concept of ‘open-air museum’ had already been adopted in some buildings in Pompeii as a medium to communicate the meaning of ancient spaces The impressive remains of the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum and their associated villas destroyed and yet preserved by Mount Vesuvius provide a complete and vivid picture of society and daily life at a specific moment in the past that is unparalleled elsewhere The rediscovery and history of these places as archaeological sites has captured the collective imagination century after century conservation and interpretation practices in Europe and beyond Criterion (iii): Pompeii and Herculaneum are the only Roman cities ruins preserved in such an exceptional way and have no parallels in integrity and extent in the world The villas in Torre Annunziata have the best preserved wall paintings of the Roman period Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata provide a full picture of Roman life from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD through the urban decorative and daily life aspects that have been preserved The villa A in Torre Annunziata is the most significant example of suburban villa of the Roman period Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata are outstanding examples of urban and suburban Roman settlements They also provide a vivid and comprehensive picture of Roman life at one precise moment: the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD The inscribed property has an area of 98 ha the archaeological remains are unparalleled anywhere in the world for their completeness and extent The three parts of the property are of adequate size to contain the attributes to express its Outstanding Universal Value except at Herculaneum where integrity would be improved by inclusion within the property of the theatre and the largest part of the ancient town with its most significant public monuments still lying beneath the modern Ercolano and known only through 18th century tunnels The individual components and ancient urban fabric are in overall good condition and the town plan structures and setting with regard to the Vesuvius are still sufficiently intact Some structures continue to be at risk of collapse or loss of decorative detail given the scale of active decay in archaeological sites of this size and nature where original urban infrastructure (drainage roofing etc.) can only be partially reinstated A property with such extensive ruins exposed will always require continuous and continuing maintenance restoration and maintenance works have been implemented on the remarkable remains of these sites with varying intensity The sites show the evolution of archaeological practices conservation techniques and approaches to presentation over the past two centuries The level of reconstruction and the use of materials such as concrete and steel utilized in restorations before the 1980s More enduring techniques and materials have been progressively introduced It may be argued that these early restorations have a historical significance of their own which should be safeguarded when they contribute to the overall coherence at an urban scale as in the case of Amedeo Maiuri’s open-air museum at Herculaneum at its peak in the 1950s A general shift in conservation approaches in the 21st century is favouring authenticity; instead of concentrating on single buildings conservation campaigns are focusing on entire districts of the ancient towns and so achieving a more coordinated and homogenous result Despite the nature and quality of earlier restoration and reconstruction works the authenticity of the individual components and the ancient urban and suburban fabric as a whole is very high The property was protected by the provisions of past Law No 1089/1939 and since 2004 is under the Legislative Decree No 42/2004 (“Cultural Heritage and Landscape Code”) The perimeter of the Pompeii site is protected by the Decree of June 10th 1929 Environmental legislation in the form of the Legislative Decree No 42/2004 extended this protection to a wider area All buildings and excavation works within the modern towns around the sites must be approved by the relevant heritage authorities where most of the ancient city lies under the modern town additional protection is offered by development restrictions of the high-risk zone of Mount Vesuvius and wider Regional territorial plans The Vesuvius National Park also provides additional layers of protection of the broader setting while the MAB Biosphere designation provides a framework to promote further coordination The 3 component parts are owned by the State and together with the immediate surrounding areas are managed by the Archaeological Park of Pompeii (also overseeing the villas in Torre Annunziata) and the Archaeological Park of Herculaneum two autonomous institutions established recently as part of a broader ministerial reform which attempts to bring decision making closer to the sites themselves These local heritage authorities include technical/scientific (archaeologists Annual visitor numbers at the sites exceeds two and a half million (half of these are estimated to be foreign visitors) has shaped conservation and site management and enhancement at Herculaneum since 2001 approximately a 5-year project begun in 2012 with the European Union has

magnificent villa said to have belonged to Poppaea Sabina the villa is certainly worth a visit (plus you’ll avoid the tourists who come from far and wide to invade Pompeii) there is a small gastronomic treasure to be discovered: DocSicil From the outside it looks like just a deli; in fact it is a deli that makes excellent sandwiches for the students of the nearby school it’s much more than that: Owners Antonio Balzano well hidden by a wall next to the deli counter and Grazia followed Antonio back to Naples Together they took over the family business a deli right next to the excavations of Oplontis is continuing the tradition – he and his wife showing us the delicacies she prepared earlier in the day friarielli and more) that she stuffs inside sandwiches big enough to be a complete meal She also prepares excellent takeaway dishes each day The walls are covered with ancient photos of Torre Annunziata as well as dozens of postcards sent by tourists from all over the world so much so that he feels compelled to send a postcard when away from home Grazia, who loves to tell stories, recounts an American visitor who “was crying in a panic, so I invited her to sleep at my house and we became such good friends that she still continues to write and often visits me.” (Although not a tourist, our Naples walk leader Chiara has even experienced this kindness – one day when she was extremely tired after a morning tour but didn’t have time to go home before her afternoon tour Grazia invited her to the back room to sleep on her bed It was the deli’s proximity to the ancient site that inadvertently led them to open the hidden restaurant an American archaeologist named John Clarke [Professor of Archeology at the University of Texas Austin] came to Oplontis for an excavation campaign,” Antonio explains “He came here every day for sandwiches with his students But at lunchtime there were also many students from the adjacent school and he couldn’t speak to his students during the break That’s why he asked me if I could set up a small room for him where he could have a quick lunch with his students and also take stock of the excavation every day.” So Antonio created a space with some tables for the professor and his students; in effect a small restaurant was born where every day Grazia cooked up delicious dishes and breathed the air of archeology and Neapolitan gastronomy As we’re talking to Antonio, Grazia brings us a starter, a nice plate of cheese and salami accompanied by extraordinary bread. “Today I prepared pasta alla Genovese and you absolutely must taste it,” she says she takes a packet of Setaro pasta from the shelf an artisanal pasta producer located only a few meters from the deli and goes into the kitchen to throw the pasta in the boiling water After ten minutes she comes back with a steaming plate of Genovese with Setaro penne We are in the geographical area that became famous for the production of dried pasta in the late 17th and 18th centuries pasta continues to be a cult today – many small pasta producers like Setaro are still in business in the area Two Italian tourists from Naples order spaghetti with the anchovy sauce from Cetara, the heir of garum a fermented fish sauce popular in ancient Rome anchovies are salted and then stored in wooden barrels for months and it is this delicious liquid that Neapolitans have paired with pasta for centuries The important thing is to prepare the spaghetti or linguini without salt But Grazia is above all a Sicilian woman and has never completely forgotten her roots; that’s why today she has also prepared a Sicilian caponata slightly soupy dish made with fried vegetables and croutons The warm Sicilian caponata is totally different from the Neapolitan version which is instead a cold salad made with freselle (dried bread) we love nothing better than huddling in the small hidden room and eating some of Grazia’s incredible food don’t forget to ask Antonio and Grazia to eat in their restaurant just like Professor Clarke did when the secluded space was born at the beginning of the millennium loading map - please wait...Map could not be loaded -

plaster casts were made and a room inhabited by three slaves A long list of surprising finds has been brought to light by the excavation of Civita Giuliana the site saved from long-standing looting by illegal excavators as a result of a memorandum of understanding between the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Torre Annunziata and the Archaeological Park of Pompeii signed in 2019 by the then director Massimo Osanna now the Director General of Italian Museums and the Public Prosecutor of Torre Annunziata Pierpaolo Filippelli renewed in 2021 by the Park Director Gabriel Zuchtriegel and the Public Prosecutor Nunzio Fragliasso provides for joint efforts to combat illegal excavations around Pompeii and to explore and enhance the scientific value of the sites rescued from tomb robbers with the additional support of the Carabinieri’s Unit for the Protection of Cultural Heritage and Investigation in Torre Annunziata including coarseware dishes and cups and cooking vessels discovered upside down along the walls of a room that formed part of the servants’ quarters of a large residential complex The vessels are thought to have been found in situ during the final phase of the eruption of AD 79 This offers further evidence confirming how the stratigraphic investigation of a complex which had been illegally excavated for many years can further our knowledge of aspects of everyday life that are rarely described in the written sources thanks to the remarkable state of preservation encountered here  The discovery took place in a modern street that crosses the Villa and which had to be closed to enable the investigation of the ancient structures below the carriageway but also because an extensive network of tunnels made by tomb robbers had undermined the terrain so it had to be made safe “These finds demonstrate the commitment and capacity of the state to combat the scourge of illegal excavations and illegal trade in archaeological artefacts It represents an important response to the destruction wrought by tomb robbers,” declares Gennaro Sangiuliano “Pompeii is a source of pride for Italy and we intend to make an even greater effort to defend and promote a heritage site that is of such unique worldwide importance” “The excavations at Civita Giuliana have reinforced an innovative approach whereby different institutions have been working side by side thanks to the foresight of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Torre Annunziata which immediately contacted and involved the Archaeological Park of Pompeii” “In a territory that has such a rich history yet has undergone such severe damage an area that still conceals important traces of the past as is being revealed by the discoveries of recent years it is crucial that the safeguard and protection of cultural heritage should proceed hand-in-hand with respect for the law” As the Park Director Zuchtriegel underlines “These discoveries confirm the importance of extending the excavations I would like to express my gratitude to the Public Prosecutor’s Office with whom we have been coordinating the ongoing research and also to the City Council of Pompeii which has enabled us to extend the excavations by closing off a short section of the road both in scientific terms but also in terms of tourism will justify the minor inconvenience caused to road traffic during this period We are working to ensure that the site of Civita Giuliana can become part of the network of sites linked closely to Pompeii Oplontis-Torre Annunziata and Castellamare di Stabia” “The recent archaeological discoveries at the site of Civita Giuliana have been made as part of an excavation campaign that has involved the close collaboration for some considerable time between the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Torre Annunziata and the Archaeological Park of Pompeii as a result of the agreement signed between the two institutions By combining archaeological research and investigative activities the agreement represents a pilot scheme in the field of cooperation between public institutions for the safeguard and enhancement of Italian archaeological heritage It has proved to be a powerful tool for combatting illegal excavations and restoring finds and evidence of exceptional historical and cultural importance to the public domain” emphasises the Public Prosecutor Nunzio Fragliasso The First Expert/Stakeholder Meeting took place in Pompei (Italy) on 17 November 2012 within the framework of the project “Towards a governance system for coordinating the updating and the implementation of the Management Plan of the Archaeological Areas of Pompei The meeting was funded by the Italian Government and managed by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities (MIBAC) The objective of the meeting was to assist those responsible for the World Heritage property “Archaeological Areas of Pompei Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata” in updating and reviewing the existing management plan to address public use and disaster risk management issues and include provisions to regulate and control development in the vicinity of the property Around 50 participants included local national and international experts in the field of archaeology disaster risk management; national and local authorities The Italian Ministry (MIBAC) was represented at the highest level and by all central and decentralized departments and units involved in the preservation and enhancement of the World Heritage site two of the advisory bodies of the World Heritage Convention The Meeting was opened with an introduction on the core elements of the project agreed between UNESCO and MIBAC followed by a presentation on conservation and maintenance aspects that are included in the Grande Progetto Pompei financed by the European Union The activities put in place by the MIBAC-UNESCO office were listed with a particular reference to the World Heritage site of Pompei The meeting‘s objectives were described and the draft proposal for a new management system for the World Heritage site was introduced The state of the World Heritage site was then illustrated in term of conservation planning and management issues completed by the emergency plan for the Vesuvian area An example for future heritage management practices was identified in the Herculaneum Conservation Project a public and private initiative acting at one of the archaeological area of the World Heritage site The new Italian guidelines for sponsorship were also explained The discussions followed then in the four workshops on heritage and conservation institutional and organizational settings; and resulted in several considerations and suggestions (attached) Rescue workers dig by hand in search for seven people reported missing in the residential building in the seaside town of Torre Annunziata Rescue workers found the bodies of three people in the rubble of a five-storey apartment building that partially collapsed south of Naples on Friday Crews dug mostly by hand to search for seven people reported missing in the residential building in the seaside town of Torre Annunziata three miles from the Pompeii archaeological site The cause of the collapse remained unknown but authorities were investigating whether it was related to renovation work in the building An elderly resident who had been believed to be inside was later accounted for Witnesses said they did not hear an explosion before the collapse sometime after 6am but that a train had just passed the building The five-storey apartment block collapsed early on Friday Photograph: Ciro Fusco/APImages show the structure partially collapsed revealing the interiors of some apartments About 80 rescue workers were passing hand-dug rubble out in buckets as firefighters on long retractable ladders checked the stability of the section that remained intact Firefighters asked for silence among onlookers during the search in hope of hearing survivors and the work was paused periodically to allow sniffer dogs to check the scene The train line that passes Mount Vesuvius and connects Naples with such tourist sites as Pompeii and the Amalfi coast was temporarily closed after the collapse The Italian railway said in a statement that the vibrations from passing trains had no impact on the stability of adjacent

place—which would have been twice the size of the 99 currently excavated rooms backed by vineyards and olive groves that sloped up to Mount Vesuvius an orchestrated interplay would ensue between guests and enslaved people who would appear out of hidden alcoves to offer massages with precious ointments and perform acrobatic feats “I love how the wall paintings were designed to move people around the villa,” says art historian Regina Gee “Frescoes of birds and lush plants bordering the pool inspired thoughtful strolling while the interior zebra-striped hallways directed fast movement (In ancient Rome, citizenship was the path to power.) Some believe the villa was owned by the intriguing Empress Poppaea Sabina, Nero’s second wife It was her name that was found inscribed on an amphora during an excavation prompting archaeologists to call the site Villa Poppaea With not enough evidence to prove her ownership subsequent scholars settled on calling the site Villa A Torre Annunziata locals stick to Villa Poppaea proud that an empress may have once lived among them helping to shield its vibrant frescoes from damaging exposure to the elements.Bildagentur-Online/Universal Images Group/Getty ImagesPoppaea does fit the profile of crazy rich ancient Romans who owned such villas She was said to be highly ambitious and sexually adventurous “endowed with all gifts but that of integrity of the soul.” Her beauty was highly praised she demanded to be bathed daily in the milk of 500 asses she went to great conniving lengths—convincing Nero to murder his mother (Nero’s mother, Agrippina, paid the price for being a master strategist.) While she was pregnant with their second child he even had a slave who resembled Poppaea castrated so he could marry him located at Rome’s Palazzo Massimo alle Terme museum since an amphora inscribed with her name was found there.Photograph by Richard Barnes Nat Geo Image CollectionOnce you understand the dramatic characters who may have run the villa you can picture banquets that would begin in the afternoon and carry on until the wee torchlit hours of the morning welcomed by servants who trimmed their toenails and offered them snow-chilled water from Mount Vesuvius for hand washing Honeyed wine was poured into silver goblets; cymbals crashed as trays of delicacies such as dormice Scantily dressed performers jumped through burning hoops pleasures there had been abandoned for 17 years forgotten except for a few curious pokes during the Renaissance and in the 1700s when the bigger sites were explored (Recent archaeological finds reveal new clues to Pompeii’s destruction.) when the Italian government thought uncovering Oplontis could be a good way to bring tourism to Torre Annunziata That late timing is one of the keys to the villa’s beauty; the vibrant frescoes escaped exposure to the elements that affected those older excavated sites since its low-key public opening in the 1980s Villa A hasn’t been harmed by waves of tourists Scholars, however, have become increasingly attracted to the site, thanks to the Oplontis Project an American organization that has been studying and archiving the ruins since 2005 they’ve shed light on the history of Oplontis as a once thriving town with thermal baths and a commercial complex that they call Villa B One of the most poignant discoveries in Villa B was a group of 54 skeletons of people believed to have been waiting for a ship to rescue them on that fateful day in A.D “The skeletons were found in two groups,” John Clarke co-director of the Oplontis Project at the University of Texas at Austin It’s believed the second group were slaves Vesuvius looms in the background in this aerial view of Naples 79 eruption destroyed Pompeii and nearby Oplontis.Photograph by Ivan Romano Getty ImagesThe Oplontis Project scholars collaborated with townspeople a few years ago to set up an exhibition of sculptures and artifacts found in the excavation storerooms Locals were amazed to see treasures that they never knew existed—from exquisite marble statues of centaurs to glass vases and silver tableware (These are some of the most stunning archaeological sites in the world.) There are hopes to have a permanent Oplontis exhibition space in Torre Annunziata and funds to support such things as publicity Looking at the skyrocketing tourism that resulted when private donors and governments gave millions to Pompeii and Herculaneum it’s clear that such possibilities abound for Oplontis Meanwhile, scholars, locals, and curious travelers will have these riches to themselves. “I never get requests from tourists to go to Oplontis,” says Fiorella Squillante, a Neapolitan guide for the Vesuvius vs Pompeii company “But sometimes if I get a sense that they want to go deeper I always love to watch them experience the contrast—from arriving in the modern town to entering the villa of the past The coronavirus pandemic has challenged communities and disrupted travel.

precious objects including jewels gold and silver coins and bronze furnishings Most of the precious objects were found alongside the bodies having evidently been wrapped in clothing or held in special

The World Heritage Committee has approved the proposed extension of the Buffer Zone of the UNESCO site "Archaeological Areas of Pompeii Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata," at the end of a process that lasted about 10 years.Ten municipalities are involved and gravitating in the territory of the new Buffer Zone which now reaches atotal extension of 17.26 square kilometers that includes Portici The approved proposal was put forward in 2021 and its formulation stems from the coordinated work conducted by the Pompeii Archaeological Park and the Herculaneum Archaeological Park in synergy with the UNESCO Office of the Ministry of Culture The new perimeter of the buffer zone takes into account a number of requests and suggestions put forward by the World Heritage Committee and stems from the shared intention to strengthen the strategies for the protection of the serial site and to inspire the redevelopment and regeneration activities of the surrounding territories by these Central to the proposal submitted by the Ministry was the protection of the landscape and views to and from archaeological sites the target territory has been the subject of a strategic plan the objectives of which are to enhance the area’s tourist attractiveness improve accessibility to the sites of culture environmentally restore degraded and compromised landscapes For the implementation of the strategic plan during 2022 the Institutional Development Contract (CIS) “Vesuvius-Pompeii-Naples” was signed which provides for the financing of twenty projects for a total of 156 million euros and an additional fourteen interventions assessed as high priority by the Ministry of Culture and directly funded for a total of more than 70 million euros the management plan related to the UNESCO Site is being drafted and updated oriented towards participatory governance through agreements with local authorities actively involving citizens who are called upon to protect and enhance the priceless heritage of this place “UNESCO’s approval of the expansion of the Pompeii-Herculaneum-Torre Annunziata buffer zone is an important result and the achievement of a fundamental objective in the path of continuous enhancement protection and sustainable development of an area rich in extraordinary historical evidence with the universal value of a World Heritage site,” said Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano “This is a confirmation of the far-sightedness of the project which now receives a further boost to the realization of that great archaeological area that transcends the boundaries of individual cities to bring them together in a large My thanks for the work done go to the mayors of the municipalities involved to the directors of the Archaeological Parks of Pompeii and Herculaneum thanks to funding from the ’Vesuvius-Pompeii-Naples Institutional Development Contract’ and additional funds made available by the Ministry it is time to implement those projects that will bring further sap and growth to the whole area.” “We are overjoyed to have achieved this success the result of a team effort for which I thank the Ministry of Culture the Great Pompeii Unit and our colleagues in Herculaneum,” said Pompeii Archaeological Park Director Gabriel Zuchtriegel our vision of the ’Greater Pompeii,’ a network of sites in which we will invest more than 230 million euros in the coming years finally finds an appropriate institutional framework that sees the main players in the area gathered around a table to make the sites around Pompeii a large widespread park that allows visitors to discover an area rich in culture and traditions “One can only express satisfaction with this approval which appears to be a marked improvement on the approach inherited from the time of the site’s inscription as a World Heritage Site,” added Herculaneum Archaeological Park Director Francesco Sirano “The proposal stems from the desire to share and promote the common recognition of the wonderful and unique relationship between the ancient city of Herculaneum the territory and the communities around it opening the perspective toward the cultural and scenic riches at the foot of the volcano that map the history of this place before and after the eruption of 79 AD It seems to me that I can hope that also thanks to this Buffer Zone we can advance in the work of engagement and awareness that we carry on also thanks to the more than 20-year public-private partnership with the philanthropic Packard Humanities institute: ancient Herculaneum is not an island in the sea of past and distant time but part of a living landscape with many layers of history Italy – March 2024 - Twenty years since the murder of Matilde Sorrentino twenty years of life of "Mamma Matilde" Childrens Community in Torre Annunziata and the"Small steps big dreams" Association who are members of Salesians for Social Matilde Sorrentino was a woman and a mother from Torre Annunziata (Naples) who in 1997 denounced a pedophile ring in her son's school In that same year we were finishing the work of the "Small steps big dreams" in the childrens community in Torre Annunziata "It seemed right to us to call it Mamma Matilde: here we welcome many young people who do not have a mother and we have chosen to make Matilde Sorrentino ‘enter’ the community with her courage the Salesians in Torre Annunziata wanted to remember Annalisa and Matilde with two conferences on 22 March with young people from the communities and the oratory at Torre Annunziata who met some relatives of the victims and at the end gave rise to a procession to Matilde's house the Salesian house in Torre Annunziata hosted the conference twenty years after the death of Matilde Sorrentino to keep the memory of ‘Mamma Courage’ alive

particular the presentation and approval of the update of the Strategic Plan the launch of the Institutional Development Contract “Vesuvio-Pompei-Naples” and its effects on the Strategic Plan the update on the use of CIPE funds deliberated on February 28 the outcomes of the public notice aimed at collecting expressions of interest for the inclusion of new projects in the Strategic Plan The central point of the meeting was theupdate of the Plan prepared by the Greater Pompeii Unit which the committee unanimously approved in full agreement with the local authorities involved new projects worth 900 million euros were approved including 594 million euros for interventions already financed and 337 million euros for interventions to be financed New proposals arrived from the area were also presented including the Vesuvius Cabinovia (53 million euros) - Municipality of Herculaneum; the completion of the general program for the enhancement of the Portici Royal Site (71 million euros) - Metropolitan City of Naples the committee discussed the implementation of interventions proposed by the territory regarding environmental-landscape redevelopment and defense works of the coastal strip and urban-environmental regeneration of the waterfront (twenty interventions for about 275 million euros); redevelopment and regeneration of the degraded building fabric (twenty-five interventions for about 158 million euros) The committee was also updated with respect to what has been financed by the “Vesuvius-Pompeii-Naples” Institutional Development Contract which identifies the Project Director General of the Pompeii Grand Project Unit as the Ministry of Culture’s single point of contact for monitoring evaluation and control of the Strategic Plan interventions financed by the CIS and for the implementation of the fourteen projects financed directly by the MiC for about 73 million euros that have flowed into the CIS a battle won that shows that when people in the country work as a team they can truly change the destiny of the territories,” said Minister Franceschini “A great deal has been done in Pompeii from a legislative and now this site has become a model recognized by UNESCO and the European Union of how to operate and use community resources Pompeii is a symbol of the change that can be achieved throughout the Mezzogiorno The implementation of the Strategic Plan will now be the great challenge for the environmental and urban revitalization and redevelopment of the whole territory including that outside the archaeological areas.” “With the Sogno di volare (I Dream of Flying) project which was launched this year and will continue in the coming years we have entered a concrete phase of implementation and implementation of the strategic plan through the direct involvement of young people from the area in Park activities 80 students from local schools have been engaged in the Park’s first theatrical production by bringing a play by Aristophanes to the stage of Pompeii’s grand theater acquiring and contributing to the spread of cultural heritage awareness to their immediate surroundings,” explained Pompeii Archaeological Park Director Gabriel Zuchtriegel “An action of direct and unmediated awareness and promotion of cultural places and their territory the enhancement of the green areas of the Park’s sites through the project of Azienda Agricola Pompei will see a strengthening of synergies with different actors for first local with an important relapse at the economic level.” “The Herculaneum Archaeological Park has benefited greatly from CIPE and CIS funds and it is thanks to the Strategic Plan that we have been able to strengthen actions to protect the UNESCO World Heritage site but also expand the cultural offer for visitors On the basis of the first completed projects we have already collected the first results in terms of employment spin-off and increased stay in the area by tourists We must continue to move toward a commitment to the enhancement of territories so that cultural sites do not remain isolated but increasingly represent a real driver of development and growth,” added Francesco Sirano director of the Herculaneum Archaeological Park Experts from UNESCO's World Heritage Centre and the International Council of Monuments and Sites will arrive in Pompei on 2 December to examine the state of conservation of the World Heritage site The mission follows the destruction in early November of the Schola Armaturarum and further collapses yesterday and today including that of a wall at the House of the Moralist This advisory mission will seek to identify potential threats to other structures at the site and possible measures including the implementation of legal and management provisions The mission will also study the impact of these collapses on the site's integrity authenticity and outstanding universal value A report on the mission's findings will be presented to the next session of the World Heritage Committee (Bahrain The Schola Armaturarum is among the most emblematic buildings at the archaeological site of Pompei which was destroyed by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D It is thought gladiators used to train in the building before their fights in a nearby amphitheatre The House of the Moralist is also one of Pompei's best-known houses The collapse of an external wall there yesterday as well as two more walls in different locations today has renewed concerns about the ancient Roman city's state of preservation Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata were inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1997  Tickets Opening hours Get to Pompeii The Archaeological Park of Pompeii and the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Torre Annunziata announce the discovery of an extraordinary find which has emerged intact from the excavation of the suburban villa of Civita Giuliana beyond the walls to the north of the ancient city of Pompeii as part of the joint operations launched in 2017 and in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2019 which sought to combat illegal activities which had been conducted in the area A large ceremonial chariot with four wheels mineralised wood remains and imprints of organic materials (from the ropes to the remains of floral decoration) has been discovered almost intact in the portico facing the stable where had already been found.This is an exceptional discovery not only because it adds an additional element to the history of this dwelling and the story of the last moments in the lives of those who lived in it as well as more generally to our understanding of the ancient world but above all because it represents a unique find - which has no parallel in Italy thus far - in an excellent state of preservation.The ongoing excavation project has a dual objective: firstly to cooperate with the investigations of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Torre Annunziata in order to bring an end to the looting of cultural heritage by perpetrators who had dug several tunnels in the area in order to intercept archaeological treasures to reveal one of the most significant villas of the Vesuvian area and to protect it from further looting.The excavations which have also allowed us to verify the extent of the illegal tunnels and the damage they have inflicted on cultural heritage have been constantly accompanied by stabilisation and restoration operations on what has steadily emerged the excavation has been characterised by considerable technical-operational complexity since the rooms to be studied are partially below and alongside modern dwellings with all of the consequent structural and logistical difficulties such a situation entails Privacy Policy Cookie Policy

north where the middle class live and entire blocks of flats under the "ownership" of one of the clans Part of the economy of Torre Annunziata is based on illegal activities and the south is the most isolated part with very little to attract the young This area has often been the site of countless criminal acts linked to the clans of Camorra that have impeded the economic and social development of the city The Salesian Oratory undertakes to enable young people to live in a serene environment and to develop their potential It tries to respond to the difficulties in the area in order to prevent juvenile delinquency and to work with families as a whole in collaboration with other educational agencies Children and families are supported by volunteers and qualified staff who have specific tasks

Rotini, unlike fusilli, is squeezed or extruded and then twisted, per The Spruce Eats instead of curled like the corkscrew-shaped fusilli Even more rare is hollow fusilli or fusilli Corti like that produced by the Setaro family in Italy and listed on De Laurentiis's website So why is De Laurentiis listing Setaro fusilli on Giadzy De Laurentiis launched Giadzy in 2016, intending to list regional Italian food products from family-owned businesses in Italy. The idea was to expose their products to American markets. Her reason for doing this, she says, is because she is inspired by these families' dedication to their food (via Giadzy) Authentic traditional Italian pasta is a source of regional pride a pride that will intensify when it is a family legacy One such family legacy is the Setaro fusilli which is obscure as a brand and distinctive as a style The brand has all the trimmings of a family business in that it is unique and has a long history Setaro fusilli started in Torre Annunziata, Naples, in 1939. Back then, they crafted it from strands around spindles or knitting needles. According to Giadzy, the humble family business has evolved into a factory on the same street, and the process, thanks to technology, has now become more mechanized, per Giadzy De Laurentiis can relate to this story as her great-grandparents had a pasta factory, too, and it was on the same street as the one owned by the Setaro family. As her story goes, her grandfather and his 12 siblings helped with the production, then sold the pasta from door to door in Torre Annunziata, as she recounts in her website bio (via Giazdy).
