Nowadays Pompeii
is a big attraction for tourists willing to discover what
rests of the ancient splendours of the Roman Empire of the
years 80 BC.
Pompeii was almost destroyed completely and covered by the
eruption of the Vulcan Mount Vesuvio in 79 AC and was forgot
for years.
The excavations started in the 18th century and brought
gradually to the discover of the fabulous villas with
frescos preserved in time, an amphitheatre and other signs
that show the prosperity of this town in the past. The
excavations are not done yet and they still go on with the
goal of giving the modern society the treasures of the past.
