		Stabiae is the ancient name for Castellammare di Stabia, a charming town about 5 km from Pompeii on the road leading to Sorrento.
		We do not yet know the whereabouts of the settlement which used the necropolis of Madonna delle Grazie, but it must have been close by and may well have been on the northernmost tip of the Varano headland, a prime vantage point for controlling comings and goings both by sea and by road.
		This rural idyll was brusquely terminated by the eruption of Vesuvius on August 24th 79 AD which buried Stabiae and the neighbouring towns.

		I have been living from long time in Castellammare di Stabia, also if I was born in Rome, and in one of my travels there, also meeting the active FIDAPA divisions of the capital, I have known the artist and her works.
		So, I suddenly took the opportunity to invite her to interpret Stabiae frescoes, for two reasons: Annamaria Russo has Samnite origins and She has attempted the Accademia di Belle Arti in Naples with Rosalba Spagnuolo, testified by the freegift portrait done in 1964 when She was her guest in Castellammare di Stabia.
		Secondly, like we all know, the main Stabiae frescoes are in the Archaeological Museum in Nap for that reason the Stabiae villas visitors cannot visit them during the archaeological iter and so few of them go for this to the respective museums.
