This is a major archeological find. Essentially a Roman villa with frescoed walls whose color is in great condition. Unfortunately the walls are broken into thousands of pieces. The conservators are also racing against time to preserve the cinnabar/vermillion red of the frescoes. This ancient red pigment darkens over time for largely unknown reasons, but was preserved on these fragments while they lay under sand and rubble for 2000 years.
