This is the best summary I could come up with:
The researchers unearthed the monumental villa, which is thought to date back to around the 1st century, during urban regeneration works in Bacoli, the Superintendency of Archeology, Fine Arts, and Landscape for the Naples Metropolitan Area (SABAP) announced in a press release.
The site of the villa lies in the vicinity of Punta Sarparella on the coast of Cape Miseno—a headland that marks the northwestern limit of the Gulf of Naples.
As part of the urban regeneration works in Bacoli, a project was launched to recover and enhance an area of coast previously occupied by the former Lido Piranha, a beachside development that SABAP described as an "unauthorized eco-monster" in Italian—meaning an ugly and environmentally damaging construction.
The Roman villa complex, which extends down to the beach and the seabed, has been found to contain 10 large rooms from different building phases, walking surfaces and traces of wall cladding, according to archaeologists.
According to SABAP, this promontory may have been the site where Pliny the Elder—the famed Roman author, philosopher and military commander, who once held the office of the prefect of the fleet—witnessed the eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79.
SABAP said the latest discovery was of "exceptional significance"—noting that the perimeter of the villa site has now been fenced off, awaiting further excavations, which could include the submerged and semi-submerged structures along the coastline.
