The archaeological site of Pompeii, in southern Italy, today allows the public to visit six of its “domus” recently restored to discover small details of everyday life of those Romans who lived in this city until its destruction in the 79 AD

“There are six ‘domus’ (houses) that will surprise and thrill because they allow you to discover small details of everyday life that are now preserved and showing that Pompeii may be a different experience every time they visit, “said Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, during the opening ceremony.

The restored houses are Fullonica di Stephanus, the House of Criptoportico, Casa di Paquius Proculus, the House of Amandus Sacerdos, the Fabius Amandio and dell’Efebo House.

Tourists want to see them today may do so through two routes: one that will guide you through each of these “domus” and another that also allow access to the Amphitheatre and the Gym Grande.

Anyone visiting this site, the most important and best preserved Roman times, you can admire the frescoes painted in the famous “Pompeian red”, with mythological and gladiatorial scenes, decorate walls of large rooms that were then used as rooms, hallways or classrooms.

The House dell’Efebo one majestic abode that “might have belonged to a wine merchant”, according to officials who manage the complex of Pompeii, and still allows to imagine the luxury and the sumptuousness of the then enjoyed family lived there.

The House Cryptoporticus, however, owes its name to a vast hall with large windows that facilitated the entrance to four thermal environments.

The tour also provides an insight into the “domus” Fullonica di Stephanus, one of the most important places in the life of Pompeii which was used for washing clothes and as cleaners.

The restoration of these “domus” had an investment of more than three million euros (3.2 million dollars) and is part of the “Great Pompeii Project” .

The project was approved in 2012 and has funding of 105 million euros (114 million dollars), of which 78 million (85 million) come from the Fund for the EU Regional Development (ERDF) and 27 million (29.4 million dollars), the Italian treasury.

“It is important to preserve the environment Pompeii because it is a World Heritage Site, not from Italy but from all over the world,” said Minister of Culture, Dario Franceschini.
