    Pompeii Archaeological Park

    Pompeii was an ancient Roman city near modern-day Naples, Italy, famously preserved by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The eruption buried Pompeii under a thick layer of volcanic ash, which effectively “froze” the city in time. As a result, Pompeii offers a remarkable snapshot of Roman life, with houses, shops, baths, temples, and theaters all preserved in exquisite detail. Archaeological excavations have uncovered well-preserved frescoes, mosaics, and everyday objects, offering insights into the daily life, culture, and social structure of its inhabitants. Visitors can wander the streets of Pompeii and explore buildings such as the amphitheater, the Forum, and the Villa of the Mysteries, gaining a unique glimpse into the past.

    Vesuvius National Park

    Mount Vesuvius is an active volcano located near Naples, famous for its eruption in 79 AD that destroyed and buried the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. This stratovolcano, characterized by its conical and steep shape, has formed through numerous eruptions over the millennia. The eruption of 79 AD is remembered as one of the most devastating in history, with the cities buried under layers of ash and lapilli, which preserved them almost intact until their rediscovery. Today, Vesuvius is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, both for its capacity for explosive eruptions and for the high population density that lives in its vicinity. For this reason, the volcano is constantly monitored for any signs of activity. Vesuvius represents a constant threat and a powerful symbol of the uncontrollable force of nature.
