Pompeii, Italy

Pompeii Italy

Pompeii and Herculaneum are the stars of world archaeology: two rich Roman cities destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79, but preserved under a blanket of ash, lava and lapilli. Like a time machine, they allow you to step into the life of two thousand years ago: walk the streets, visit the houses, observe the wares in the shops. We can understand who the inhabitants were and know every detail of the objects they surrounded themselves with and their daily routines because everything is intact, preserved from the day of the devastation, even the children's toys or the works executed by craftsmen. Pompeii is imposing: a vast archaeological area with theatres, temples and public baths in which you can walk for hours. Herculaneum is even more impressive, because the wood there has remained intact, preserving furniture, doors, stairs and upper floors of dwellings. They are unique treasures, which are constantly being enriched by new excavations and restorations, guaranteeing a first-hand experience with history.
