In villam abire – il contributo di Stabia per la conoscenza e la valorizzazione del territorio vesuviano

Ancient Stabia, though less prominent than Pompeii and Herculaneum, offers a unique lens into the cultural landscapes of the Vesuvian region. This study highlights Stabia's post-Sullan War (89 BCE) transformation, marked by a network of rural and leisure villas that provide rare insights into non-urban settlement patterns. These villas, serving as autonomous economic and social units, enrich our understanding of ancient land use and cultural dynamics between Vesuvius and the Sorrentine Peninsula. The research also underscores the need for better integration of Stabia's archaeological sites and collections into the UNESCO World Heritage Site 829, which currently includes Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Torre Annunziata. Through interdisciplinary studies, this work advances knowledge on heritage preservation and valorization strategies in the region.
