The Silver Wedding House in Pompeii, located in Regio V, Insula 2, is an extraordinary example of Roman domestic architecture and art, buried under ash during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.

    This domus was discovered between 1891 and 1893 and was named in celebration of the silver wedding of Umberto I and Margherita of Savoy, which occurred in 1893, the year the house was uncovered.

    The residence is distinguished by its imposing architectural solutions, including the tuff Corinthian columns of the atrium and the Rhodian-style colonnaded garden, with the northern side higher than the others, adding a touch of majesty and elegance to the whole.
