La guida di Anna Maria

The terrible eruption of the mount Vesuvius that buried Pompeii on 24th August 79 A.C, left it to posterity to discover and explore the city as it appeared to the ancient inhabitants shortly before the disaster. The Pompeians did not know that the mount Vesuvius was a volcano. Pliny the Younger, a guest in his uncle’s house, Pliny the Elder, historian, scientist and commander of the naval base at Misene, left us a precious document that describes the days of the eruption . The earthquakes preceded the eruption. It is not suspicious that the Pompeians were still busy restoring the buildings hit by a strong earthquake 17 years ago. Pompeii as well the neighboring town of Stabia, Herculaneum and Oplontis offers the visitor a suggestive and incomparable contemporary experience . Still through the streets and alleyways, look at the different houses and workshops, visit 2000 year-old the temples and spas in an area of more than 66 hectares...you cannot do it in Pompeii
