POMPEII GUIDED TOUR FOR WHEELCHAIR CONFINED PEOPLE
Details
FACILITATED POMPEII TOURS FOR WHEELCHAIR CONFINED VISITORS WITH A PRIVATE ENGLISH-SPEAKING GUIDE
A new itinerary has been designed to meet the needs of visitors with reduced mobility (such as parents with young children and strollers, old, disabled people). Sidewalks and streets of the ancient city may represent an obstacle while visiting Pompeii. Today ramps and special connections will make the visitor’s walk easier. While not all obstacles could be removed, symbolic places and some of the most significant domus are now more easily accessible. That is why we call it friendly Pompeii ! Today special signs lead visitors around the excavations: visitors can see one of the city’s necropolis (cemeteries), casts of some victims of the eruption, an area cultivated as a vineyard, wonderful domus, as well as buildings open to the public for the first time.
The nice walk through the insulae (city blocks) of Pompeii lasts about two hours.

POMPEII MONUMENT OF THE DAY
This residential complex is situated in a side street of Via dell’Abbondanza, not far from the House of Menander, and actually comprises three building converted into one. It derives its name from the bronze statue of an Ephebe which was found in the house and was used to support oil-lamps needed to light the triclinium couches during evening receptions. Access to the house was through the second entrance-door and a Tuscan atrium which was flanked to the right by the family’s living quarters and, on the left, by the reception room and areas devoted to leisure activities and sport.

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.
