Contemporary hospitality in Pompeii, between memory and vision

A restyling project that blends neoclassical suggestions with contemporary atmospheres, in the heart of the most authentic Pompeii.

Just a few steps from one of the main entrances to the archaeological site of Pompeii stands the historic Hotel Vittoria, dating back to the late 19th century. The restyling project, designed by architect Tiziana Vitiello, aimed to restore centrality to this decorative and architectural heritage by enhancing its historical elements through a contemporary design language.

The wallcoverings by Glamora contributed to visually shaping and deepening this narrative of layers. They are co-protagonists in a project that does not simply decorate, but interprets and tells a story. Surfaces become expressive elements capable of generating emotion and creating an intimate connection between place and visitor.

In the suites, the Trigarium and Dioscuri wallcoverings from the Arcadia Collection were selected. Here, the references to classical antiquity are evident and rich in symbolism, with the use of deep colours such as Pompeian red and avio blue, evoking frescoes, mosaics and myths that inhabit the collective imagination of the ancient city. The narrative power of these subjects transforms the spaces into unique settings, welcoming the traveller and projecting them into a dimension suspended between time and suggestion.

Each room tells a story, each suite becomes a scenography inspired by the archaeological and cultural heritage that surrounds it.

In such a layered context, where every stone and every glimpse carries a story, the role of design is to listen, interpret and give voice. Glamora becomes a silent yet powerful ally—the ink that writes new stories on walls rich with meaning, creating environments where past and present merge.
