The Casa takes its name from the famous fresco located centrally on the south wall, depicting Venus in a shell who, accompanied by two cupids, seems to be pushed towards Pompeii, of which she was the protectress.

The name of the house comes from the huge mural on the back wall of the garden, which was discovered in 1952. It represents Venus swimming, accompanied by cupids. The artist managed to achieve a certain color and stenographic effect.
