“The uniqueness of this crop – said Piero Mastroberardino, professor at the University Federico II of Naples – is the ancient technique used in viticulture, which is similar to that of two thousand years ago, reproduced on the basis of the casts of the roots of the vines”. The implantation is carried out at a distance of 4 feet to 4 feet Romans Romans: that is 1,20 meters to 1,20 meters. Successful cultivation of vineyards in the ruins of Pompeii has led several archaeological sites in the Campania region and outside the region to ask the Superintendent and Mastroberardino to replicate the experiment elsewhere. ”For the moment it is impossible – says Mastroberardino – For example, Oplonti, the blanket of volcanic material covered everything, and where gardens could present crop of the genre, now it’s all buried structures inhabited”.
