On the 8th November 1843 the Duc D’Aumale visited Pompeii as a guest of Ferdinand II.

He was presented with some 60 items from the Hospitium Gabinianum.

Graffito on an inside wall “VENIES IN GABINIANU PROMA(N)SU” was a written welcome which is documented by Fiorelli and Della Corte.

This led to it being classified a Hospitium or Caupona named after Gabinianum, its presumed host or patron.

The great quantity of crockery and kitchen utensils found on the site are commensurate with this classification.

These items are now in the Musée Condé at the Chateau de Chantilly, near Paris, France.

To commemorate the visit in 1843 the house was named Casa del Duca di Aumale in his honour.
