The Muses frescoes at the Pompeii’s Moregine

Pompeii’s Moregine frescoes, which were unearthed inside a Roman villa discovered in 1959 during construction works for the Naples-Salerno highway, are on display inside the newly-restored Large Gymnasium.

The Moregine architectural complex is located outside the walls of Pompeii, approximately 600 meters South of the Stabian Gate.

The ancient villa was discovered at the mouth of the river Sarno and of its ancient trading post: a porticoed courtyard fronted by at least five frescoed triclinia, or formal dining rooms, and thermal baths under construction.
