Short answers, pulled from the story.
Villa Boscoreale refers to several Roman villas discovered in the district of Boscoreale, Italy. All were buried and preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The only one visible today is the Villa Regina, which was excavated in 1977 and preserved intact.
The Boscoreale Treasure is a collection of 102 items found in 1895 in the Villa della Pisanella, including silver tableware, bracelets, earrings, rings, a double gold chain, and a thousand gold coins in a leather bag. The items were smuggled to France via the Rothschild family and sold, and are now displayed across several major museums.
Tablets and graffiti indicate the villa was built around 40-30 BC. It was privately discovered, excavated, partially dismantled, and reburied in 1900. Its frescoes are considered the highest quality Roman painted walls ever found.
Villa Regina was buried under approximately 26 feet, or about 8 meters, of compressed volcanic ash and pyroclastic material, topped by additional buildup from daily activity through the centuries. It was discovered in 1977.
The frescoes from the Villa of Publius Fannius Synistor were auctioned following removal and are now scattered across institutions worldwide. A bedroom, or cubiculum diurnum, has been reassembled at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it has been part of the Roman Gallery since 2007. Other pieces are held at the Louvre Museum.
Two owners are confirmed: Publius Fannius Synistor, who is known to have resided there, and Lucius Herennius Florus, whose name appears on bronze tablets found inside the villa. Both are identified as owners in the early 1st century BC and 1st century AD.
