POMPEII ON EXHIBITION
There were many occasions over the years to expose the extraordinary artistic heritage of the ancient cities at the foot of Vesuvius. There were successive exhibitions on different topics: the frescoes of Pompeii and Stabia, the jewels from Oplontis, the erotic depictions, the science and techniques of ancient Pompeians. In addition to the more refined items, mosaics and beautiful paintings, the everyday objects have attracted much interest. The multimedia tools were protagonists in numerous exhibitions: three-dimensional reconstructions of the buildings are possible and the ancient Pompeii can be seen in its former glory. Some exhibitions were also dedicated to the paleobotanic studies conducted on the roots, seeds and fossilized pollen. During the last years the interest for the ancient towns at the foot of Vesuvius has not diminished, and many visitors have crowded expositions that have taken place in Italy and abroad.

POMPEII MONUMENT OF THE DAY
In the corner where Via dell’Abbondanza enters the Forum we find a building that acted as a sort of polling station for municipal elections. The original building could be reached via five entrances in the northern wall and five in the eastern one, so that voters could enter from the Forum and go straight out into Via dell’Abbondanza. However, after the earthquake of 62 A.D. only three entrances were used: one in the north wall and two leading the Forum. On the southern side of the building we find a podium where the magistrates sat when presiding over the electoral proceedings, while the other two walls contained niches housing honorary statues.

FORBIDDEN POMPEII: IMAGES AND NEWS
Love was a common topic of conversation in Pompeii. Feelings, passions, poetic love, sex, homosexuality, prostitution and so forth were all part of daily life and not a source of prejudice. The concept of “obscenity” seems to have been unknown. Love and sex were considered earthly practices of a man’s life that were encouraged by the benevolence of Venus. The thousands of examples of graffiti found on the town’s walls are unequivocal proof of what the people of Pompeii thought about love and sex.
