from Saturday 1 May 2010 to Monday 31 May 2010

In a magical and mysterious atmosphere the ancient buried city narrates through its Eternal Moons (Lune) the mysteries that have never abandoned those places. The path, accompanied by the voice of the actor Luca Ward, begins from Porta Nocera and reaches the Casa del Giardino d’Ercole and the Orto dei Fuggiaschi (Luna della Speranza), where the casts tell the city’s last tragic night, then the Virtual Moon (Luna Virtuale), where sophisticated projections allow to gaze at the ancient view of the city, visible from its walls. It continues towards the casa del Profumiere (Luna del Successo), then along Via dell’Abbondanza (Luna della Vita) to relive scenes of everyday life in the most beautiful Domuses of the excavations (the Case di Loreio Tiburtino, di Venere in Conchiglia, di Giulia Felice) up to the Amphitheatre (Luna che non c’è), where large projections replicate on the walls of the arena ancient ornaments, while audio effects recall the noise and tumult of the time, during the games that used to be held here. A new and fascinating path to live the experience of the excavations during the night and discover the history, mythology and secrets of the world’s most visited archaeological site.

The event is part of the spring program of Ritorno al Barocco.
