The Institution for Vesuvian Villas was set up with the aim of preserving and protecting the conspicuous architectural and environmental heritage of the Vesuvian Villas of the 18th century, (within the City Council territories of Naples, S.Giorgio a Cremano, Portici, Ercolano and Torre del Greco). Its constant efforts have allowed the completion of restoration works and the setting up of projects that have contributed to creating a renewed awareness of the importance of the treasures of our past.
