WELCOME to POMPEII.

A hot shone down on 24 August 79 A:D.,but the Pompeians,who were engrossed in their work and in the fantastic life of the city,did not know that they had seen that wonderful sun for the last time.In the early hours of the afternoon,in fact,the summit of Vesuvius exploded with a frightening roar.It was in this way that Pompeii was buried under six or seven metres of earth.
