Herculaneum Incoming - Welcome to my blog

Hello!

I'm Luca, I live in Herculaneum and if you are reading this post, probably it's because you would like to know more about this old roman village or maybe you're planning to come here and spend your holidays.

Well, be sure you've founded a friend and you are welcome!

If you need informations about the old and the modern city, the opportunities that you have to move around the Vesuvio and around the Vesuvian Coast, it will be a pleasure to answer you.

Ercolano it's a perfect city because you're in the middle: between Naples by one side and Pompei - Sorrento by the other one. All these cities are well connected thanks to the Circumvesuviana, a local train.

From Central Station of Naples - Napoli Garibaldi -  you can easily take a train for Sorrento or Poggiomarino, stopping to Ercolano Scavi Station.

Follow me for the next post.
Waiting for your questions!

Ancient Secrets of Herculaneum by National Geographic

Researchers recover the secrets of ancient scrolls destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius 2,000 years ago.

Watch as words suddenly appear from the blackness...

By National Geographic

Illuminati d'immenso - Lights of immense

Se un giorno ti capitasse di scalare il Vesuvio
con la tua auto al tramonto, sappi che avrai difficoltà a raggiunger la cima.
Ad ogni curva, non potrai fare a meno di girarti con la testa, rallentando, e dando sfogo alla tua curiosità.
E allora il consiglio è fermarsi, accostare.
Appena uscito, chiudere gli occhi e ascoltare il silenzio.
Apri gli occhi dunque e perditi tra le città minuscole, le isole del Golfo, il promontorio di Napoli e di Sorrento, un panorama sconfinato.
Cercando l'orizzonte, tra terra, cielo e mare, ti sentirai avvolto da un senso di pace e di bellezza, illuminato dall'ultimo sole.

Sei ad Ercolano, il Sorriso del Vulcano


If one day you'll decide to climb Mount Vesuvius at sunset with your car, know that you'll have difficulty to reach the top.
At every turn, you'll turn around with your head, slowing down, and giving rein to your curiosity.
So the advice is to stop, pull over.
Just out, close your eyes and listen to the silence.
Now open your eyes and get lost among the tiny town, the islands of the Gulf of Naples and the cape of Sorrento, a boundless landscape.
Searching the horizon between earth, sea and sky, you feel enveloped by a sense of peace and beauty, lit by the last sun.

You are in Herculaneum, the Smile of the Volcano
