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.

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.
