NOTES The project Villa dei Mysteri was founded in 1996 when the Archaeological Superintendence of Pompeii chose Mastroberardino to reintroduce the 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.
