Italy - August 1984 -

Coming back from Crete, we decide to stop by Italy and see Pompeii near Napoli. An incredible place at the foot of Mount Vesuvious where everything has remained the same ever since the eruption in 79. People were buried under tons of burning dust and found in sleeping postures.

Memories

Pompeii displays superb frescoes...


...and also magnificent small statues.
