Dimanche 12 février 2006

Comme les ruines d’hier ne nous ont pas rassasiés, on décide de commencer la journée en allant à Herculanum, ville qui a subi un sort un peu différent de Pompéi puisque ce n’est pas les cendres qui l’ont recouverte, mais la boue (regardez un peu l'épaisseur!). D'ailleurs, les fouilles sont paraît-il très difficiles sur ce site, car la matière est très compacte.


Tout cela explique la très bonne conservation des édifices, bien meilleure qu’à Pompéi. Ici, bien que la partie excavée de la ville soit beaucoup plus réduite qu’à Pompéi, il reste généralement le premier étage de chaque maison, c'est vraiment impressionant.









La visite commence par ce qui était l'antique bord de mer (elle est un peu plus loin aujourd'hui). C'est très émouvant, parce que c'est dans ces arcades que les habitants de la ville sont quasiment tous morts en essayant de fuire aux coulées de boue.






La présence des premiers étages est assez incroyable quand on pense que tout ça a 2000 ans...







Certains intérieurs sont quasiment intacts (même les poutres de bois qui encadrent l'oculus sur la photo suivante sont toujours là, c'est dingue!)






Dans une maison, on trouve carrément une cloison intérieure (certainement restaurée, mais bon!)

Ce qu'il y a finalement de plus incroyable à Herculanum, c’est la conservation de nombreux éléments autres que la pierre, détruits à Pompéi par les cendres incandescentes, et conservés par la boue à Herculanum. La majorité des poutres en bois à l'intérieur des maisons, notamment, est encore visible.


Une corde (!!) et les restes d'un lit en bois.














A la différence de Pompéi, on n’imagine pas à Herculanum, on constate…

Et dire que probablement la majorité de la ville antique reste à découvrir…

Sincèrement, on pourrait rester des heures à se promener dans ces maisons, car il y a des détails de partout, mais le site est quand même beaucoup plus petit que Pompéi, et une demi-journée suffit amplement. On part donc vers d’autres merveilles.








La prochaine étape est d’ailleurs, à proprement parler, une mer-veille, puisque c’est… la mer, tout simplement ! Herculanum étant une ville côtière, on décide de se faire un pique-nique au bord de la mer.






L’eau est d’une limpidité incroyable.


Ensuite on repart passer l'après-midi à Naples (le centre n'est qu'à 1/4 d'heure de train d'Herculanum).

Le moins qu'on puisse dire, c'est que dans certains endroits il flotte comme une impression de déjà vu...


La galerie Umberto 1° (photo de gauche), par exemple, est une copie quasiment conforme de la galerie Vittorio Emanuele 2° de Milan (photo de droite, prise en août 2005).

En fait, elles ont été construites à moins de 10 ans d'intervalle: 1877 à Milan, sous le roi... Victor Emmanuel 2, et 1884 à Naples, sous le roi... Umberto 1!





Dans cet autre exemple, la copie est plus complexe:


Allez à Rome. Prenez-y les colonnades de la place St Pierre (photo de gauche, prise en décembre 2004), et ajoutez-y, au centre, une copie du panthéon (photo de droite, prise en juillet 2005), et vous obtiendrez...

La place du plébiscite de Naples!




On continue notre balade, et on tombe sur les deux châteaux de Naples:


Le château Neuf (à gauche) et le château de l'Oeuf (à droite, photo prise un peu plus tard!). Franchement, faut le vouloir pour appeler deux châteaux côte-à-côte de manière aussi identique...



A gauche, la fontaine de l'Immacolatella, édifiée entre autre par le Bernin, avec au fond, le Vésuve. A droite, un petit port de plaisance, avec aussi le Vésuve en fond.


En fin d'après-midi, on part à l’assaut du musée archéologique. Vanté par tous les guides pour les incroyables richesses qu’il contiendrait, on a plutôt été déçus.

Seul le cabinet secret, cette pièce regroupant toutes les fresques érotiques (voire carrément pornos) retrouvées principalement dans les maisons closes de Pompéi et Herculanum, mérite le détour.







La journée s’achève donc, tout comme nous d’ailleurs qui sommes achevés par tant de marche et de visites!

La nuit est donc la bienvenue !
