In year 79 the vulcano Vesu erupted and
left the town of Pompeii buried under a thick layer of dust and
lava. When they started to recover the town, they found it to be
well preserved, and today we really can have a good idea about
how the town must have been. It was a rather large and wealthy
town.
Hope you will enjoy these very fine
examples of art that still are visable in the town of Pompeii, so
many years after its disaster.
