Nat Geo Day Tour: La vida romana al descubierto: las villas de Oplontis y Pompeya

Tras un corto trayecto en coche, llegarás hasta las estribaciones del monte Vesubio y las ruinas de Pompeya, la antigua ciudad preservada por la erupción volcánica. Pasea por las calles adoquinadas hasta el Foro, centro neurálgico de la vida romana de antaño. Recorre los antiguos caminos hasta encontrar impresionantes villas y espacios grandiosos, como la Casa del Fauno, con sus detallados mosaicos. Siéntate en las gradas del teatro y observa las colosales columnas de la basílica. También visitarás otras zonas de la vida cotidiana, como las termas y las tabernas. Además, verás por fuera la opulenta Casa della Regina Carolina, una de las villas más grandes de la ciudad antigua, situada en un barrio de la élite, cerca del Foro. Entérate de las investigaciones en curso iniciadas por la exploradora de National Geographic, Caitlin Ellis Barret, mientras descubres más sobre la villa y las actividades domésticas cotidianas de sus adinerados habitantes. Después de una comida ligera, seguirás el viaje hasta el puerto de Torre Annunziata, donde descenderás por debajo del nivel de la calle hasta la antigua Oplontis. Esta zona, declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco, cuenta con algunas de las pinturas murales mejor conservadas de la época romana. Un guía arqueólogo te dará el contexto histórico, cultural y arquitectónico mientras contemplas las maravillas de Oplontis. La élite romana vivía aquí, con sus frescos y mosaicos de estilo pompeyano, de acabados en azules profundos, naranjas y dorados. El intrincado uso del color y el sombreado confiere a estas pinturas un aspecto tridimensional que añade realismo a estas antiguas escenas.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Tras los pasos de Verdi

Giuseppe Verdi está considerado uno de los compositores de ópera más influyentes del siglo XIX y su obra sigue teniendo gran popularidad hoy en día. Entre sus óperas más conocidas se encuentran La Traviata, Rigoletto y Aida, cada una de las cuales cuenta una historia muy diferente, pero todas ofrecen música dramática e intensidad emocional. Un recorrido por el Milán de Verdi pone de manifiesto su genialidad musical y revela su férrea dedicación para convertirse en un maestro de la ópera italiana. Descubre el legado que dejó en Milán, una ciudad que amaba y detestaba a la vez, con una visita a la Fondazione Giuseppe Verdi, la casa que el maestro de la ópera construyó para acoger a artistas y músicos jubilados. Aquí, conocerás de cerca la vida de Verdi y su esposa, además de sus objetos personales, el mobiliario, sus colecciones de arte y sus últimos lugares de reposo. A continuación, tendrás la oportunidad de conocer a los actuales residentes de la Casa Verdi, muchos de los cuales son artistas de fama internacional, y escuchar sus extraordinarias historias de vida. También te invitarán a asistir a una actuación exclusiva para los viajeros de National Geographic a cargo de uno de los residentes. La penúltima parada es el Teatro de la Scala. Visita el museo, disfruta de un acceso exclusivo entre bastidores y descubre las anécdotas entre bastidores sobre la relación de Verdi con el teatro. Al final del recorrido, seguirás los pasos de Verdi y visita el Grand Hotel et de Milan, donde Verdi vivió durante 27 años y, de hecho, donde exhaló su último aliento.
