Italian Architecture, vintage 8 x 10 inch silver print fiber double-weight photograph depicting the "Villa Poppaea." Printed in the second half of the 20th century as part of the American Heritage Publishing Archive. Credited to John Ross.
The Villa Poppaea is an ancient Roman seaside villa (villa maritima) situated between Naples and Sorrento, in southern Italy. It is also referred to as the Villa Oplontis, or as Oplontis Villa A by modern archaeologists. The villa itself is a large structure situated in the ancient Roman town of Oplontis (the modern Torre Annunziata), about ten meters below the modern ground level. Evidence suggests that it was owned by the Emperor Nero, and believed to have been used by his second and rather notorious wife, Poppaea Sabina, as her main residence when she was not in Rome.
Verso bears credit stampings and filing notations. In very good condition.
Provenance: From the American Heritage Publishing Archives.
