he is passionate about preserving the towns artifacts. he's to be the the mayor and is acquainted with everyone. he is always ready to lend an ear when residents complained. like many other towns, they are suffering from political and financial turmoil, high unemployment and increasing poverty. protecting cultural treasures is a low priorityhe's to be the ths acquainted with. he believes the path is material wealth and that is why he is fighting to maintain it. he tells me he has a model -- motto, can indicate or perish. people will not know where they are or which places have precious items unless we tell them. >> among the precious object are 20 villas dating back to the 18th century. the splendid summer residencies
6:17 am
once belonged to the leaders of spreadingof bourbon, along the so-called golden mile between naples and sorrento. many of these estates are in a sad state of decay. is an exception -- it has been restored to its original splendor. i am surprised to learn it is not open to the public. other functions ranging enough money to keep it -- private functions bring in enough money to keep it maintained and to hire a doorman. luckily, cero knows him, and he lets us in. we have come to meet luca coppola, a fellow campaigner. they show me the villa, largely unused.
6:18 am
tore is an ostentatious judy the place, but -- beauty to the place, but also an eerie emptiness. cero shows me the places where the original construction is still visible -- the unbelievable skill of craftsmen from another era. so much work has gone into restoring the building, yet hardly anyone has access to it. luca tells me how the locals flocked here because of the beauty of the area. mount vesuvius, and opposite, this he. ,fter decades of corruption mismanagement and ignorance, it is time to rediscover the beauty
6:19 am
of such places. i find his optimism admirable, considering the problems the region is facing. ,e have an incredible legacy he says, but we are not using it properly. task is to turn that around through ideas and innovation, and also to make contact with others in start up, community-based initiatives. i am not talking about anything on a grand scale, just breathing new life into what we have, and looking around to see how similar things are working elsewhere in the world. one place for innovation and heritage -- the museum of ecological virtuality. cero help to establish the museum five years ago. it attracts lots of children, and cero takes the opportunity to convert them to the cause,
6:20 am
telling them they should take the opportunity to learn about their cultural artifacts. technology helps to make the museum and audio visual experience. mount vesuvius even speaks, telling the story of how interrupted 2000 years ago. visitors use interactive exhibits to explore the everyday life and the downfall of ancient cities like pompeii. digital effects create a sense of what this place was like. proud of why cero was the museum. it is impressive, especially for such a small town. it is now facing financial problems. there is no more money to pay staff here at if it does not find a private sponsor soon, it
6:21 am
will have to close -- and if it does not find a private sponsor soon, it will have to close. now i want to see the jewel at . itfoot of mount vesuvius is a world heritage site. the city was limited by llama 79 a.d.-- lava in it has been transformed into archaeological preservation. thanks to a is all private donor, a foundation set up by american philanthropist david packard funded the restoration. in the thermal baths, i spot an image i had seen in the museum, sea god.c god --
6:22 am
it is surreal. i am walking through a city frozen in time 2000 years ago. the site is in excellent condition, despite the fact that earlier excavation damaged some artifacts beyond repair. funds have made it possible for visitors to walk through the villas. a drainage system has been installed. mosaics and frescoes have been prepared. the preservation effort is a never-ending job for cash job. the preservation effort is a never-ending job. the number of visitors is steadily growing. many are young people. christian is one of the archaeologist charged with maintaining heckling him.
6:23 am
he works for the public relations department. he also supports cero. christian shows me the house of neptune. >> a summer dining room. >> it is the newest project for the foundation and world famous for its mosaic. rain and groundwater once threatened to destroy the priceless artwork. today, it is protected by a roof and drain. and every goal is to protect the things that have already been excavated. >> it is very difficult, i think. the message is always think twice before you excavate something in terms of what you then leave the heritage authority to deal with. i can imagine the foreign
6:24 am
foundation was not always universally liked. after all, donors bring bring their own ideas and conditions with them, but this has become an unquestionable success story and the foundation has played its part in that. >> that is done through training. it is done through consultation meetings with the resident. ringing international professionals -- bringing in international professionals. when we are trying to do -- we have only been working at this since 2007 -- is trying to , which ishe divide physical and psychological, between the modern town in the ancient town. >> that makes sense, because maintaining is as expensive as it is rewarding.
6:25 am
there are multi-story houses, inns complete with decorations, and everyday things like textiles, pots and jobs. it is a once-in-a-lifetime source of information about the lives of ancient romans, and it is a challenge for archaeologists. instead of moving these treasures into a sterile museum, they will stay where they are, where they once formed an integral part of the life of a bustling town, and they are ready to captivate another generation of visitors. i am encouraged by all of the children that i see. if they learn to value this legacy, then perhaps it will survive to inspire their children. it could also provide a financial boost for the town. later, cero shows me a fairy wharf, the kind of project that
6:26 am
should have brought more tourists to the area. the idea was to bring visitors hovercraft.-speed it would be better for the environment than buses and cars. they would step right off in front of the symbian villas. villas.ius in have been stalled for years. is it just a matter of money? to be a good politician, you need to come up with ideas, cero, but we keep electing governments who do not have that skill. but there are private investors that could put money in for their benefit and the benefit of the city.
6:27 am
it does not seen there will be any additional government funding anytime soon, so those fighting to save italy's cultural treasuries -- treasures
