An educational trip to Campania represents an extraordinary opportunity to accompany students to discover one of the richest areas of history and archaeological heritage in the world. Visiting the excavations of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Paestum allows for a hands-on and engaging in-depth study of Roman and Greek civilization, transforming theoretical lectures into a direct, immersive and highly educational experience.

This itinerary is designed for schools of all grades, from primary to secondary, and is easily adaptable according to the age of the students and the teaching objectives defined by the faculty.

The Pompeii ruins: a plunge into Roman life

The trip can begin with a visit to the Pompeii excavations, one of the most important and well-known archaeological sites in the world. Students will have the opportunity to walk along the streets of an ancient Roman city, observing dwellings, stores, public buildings, baths and places of worship that have remained intact over time thanks to the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.

The guided tour provides insight into fundamental aspects of Roman daily life, from urban organization and economic activities to social and religious traditions. During the day there will be a stop for lunch at restaurants, pizzerias or affiliated facilities located near the archaeological site. At the end of the activities, the group will be able to return to the facility or stop for dinner, depending on the established program.

The Herculaneum excavations: a unique heritage in the world

The second day can be devoted to visiting the Excavations of Herculaneum, a site that stands out for its exceptional state of preservation. Compared to Pompeii, Herculaneum offers a different and complementary perspective, allowing one to observe architectural details, frescoes, mosaics, everyday objects, and perfectly preserved wooden structures.

The visit provides an important opportunity to understand the social and economic differences between Roman cities and to analyze the effects of the eruption of Vesuvius in a more scientific way. Also on this day there is an organized lunch break and, if necessary, dinner at a restaurant or facility.

Paestum and Magna Graecia: between temples and archaeology

The educational tour can continue or conclude with a visit to the Paestum excavations, one of the most important archaeological complexes of Magna Graecia. Here, students will come into direct contact with Greek civilization, admiring the majestic Doric temples and visiting the Archaeological Museum, which houses artifacts of great historical and cultural value.

The visit to Paestum allows for a broadening of the chronological view of the educational trip and a comparison of Greek and Roman culture, enriching the interdisciplinary journey of history, art and archaeology. Again, there are organized stops for lunch and, if required, dinner before the return trip.
