Villa Boscoreale

(1st c. AD) Villa Boscoreale refers to several Roman villas discovered in Boscoreale, Italy, buried and preserved by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD alongside Pompeii and Herculaneum [1]. While classified as rustic villae rusticae due to their agricultural functions, they featured luxurious frescoes and valuable treasures [1]. Only Villa Regina remains visible in situ today; other villas were reburied after excavation [1]. Key discoveries include frescoes from the Villa of Publius Fannius Synistor and the Boscoreale Treasure from Villa della Pisanella, now housed in major museums [1].
