Villa dei Misteri 2002

The Villa dei Misteri project was born in 1996 when the Archaeological Superintendence of Pompeii invited Mastroberardino to reintroduce viticulture in the ancient town of Pompeii. The archaeological excavations, the botanical studies and the research on casts

of vine roots and their supporting stakes (“captured” for ever by the great eruption of AD 79) confirmed that vines were grown within Ancient Pompeii’s city walls in the gardens around the beautiful Roman villas.
