Herculaneum: The Hidden Treasure of the Ancient World
Herculaneum, smaller than Pompeii, is an extraordinary archaeological site preserved by the volcanic mud from Mount Vesuvius’s eruption in 79 AD. Discovered in 1709, the first excavations revealed stunning marble statues and decorations, leading to the uncovering of vibrant mosaics, frescoes, and remarkably intact buildings that showcase Roman grandeur.
Explore the luxurious Villa of the Papyri with its ancient scrolls and the elegant House of the Deer, adorned with sculptures. Unlike Pompeii, Herculaneum was engulfed by a pyroclastic surge, sealing and preserving the city in exceptional detail. This unique preservation offers a rare chance to walk through Roman streets, seeing bath complexes and market spaces as they once were.
Join Di Sarno Car Service for an exclusive tour through history, art, and archaeology. Discover Herculaneum’s hidden gems and experience the intimate world of the ancient Romans in a way few places can offer

Mount Vesuvius: The Good Giant of Naples
Vesuvius, the only active volcano in mainland Europe, stands as a majestic symbol over the Bay of Naples. Known for its 79 AD eruption that buried Pompeii and Herculaneum, it’s affectionately called the ""Good Giant"" by locals, reflecting the bond between the mountain and its people.
Climbing Vesuvius is a unique adventure. Along the trail, volcanic artworks showcase the creativity sparked by nature’s force. At the summit, the view is spectacular: the vast crater and sweeping vistas of the Gulf of Naples, the city, and distant islands.
Standing on the crater’s rim, you can almost picture the ancient eruption's impact. Today, Vesuvius embodies resilience, inspiring visitors with its raw beauty and historical significance.
Di Sarno Car Service invites you to experience the thrill of climbing this iconic volcano and take in one of Italy’s most breathtaking landscapes. A journey filled with history, adventure, and unforgettable views awaits.
