Restoring Ancient Stabiae Foundation (RAS)

The Restoring Ancient Stabiae Foundation (RAS) is a non-profit foundation with the mission of set up Ancient Stabiae, with its luxurious Roman seaside villas, as an archaeological park.

The RAS Foundation is born in Washington, DC in the 2002 as a partnership between the University of Maryland, the Campania Region and the Superintendence for Archaeology of Naples and Pompeii.

The RAS Foundation has organized two exhibitions of artifacts and frescoes from the villas of Stabiae, titled “In Stabiano” and “Otium Ludens”. Their first stage is at the Hermitage Museum of St. Petersburg, Russia. Through these exhibitions, the RAS Foundation would promote the richness of the Vesuvian area to foreign universities in the efforts to sustain the archaeological park project and encourage academic and high level tourism on and near the site.
