IN ORDER TO CONFIRM YOUR POMPEII GUIDED TRIP, IT |
Pompeii is the classic goal of anyone who visits Naples. It is unique in the world, with its wealth of memories and sophisticated artistic products, the fascinating spectacle of its ruins both in the contrast of the red of its brickwork, the green of its cypresses and the white of its pavements, and in the new life that the ruins take on in the evening under the clever and fantastic lighting. The famous eruption of 79 AD (of which Pliny the Younger has left us a detailed and powerful description) cut off a whole city in the fullness of its sophisticated life, without giving the inhabitants time to escape. There were dogs tied by their chains and precious objects in the cupboards. Slaves and lords alike were overcome by the ashes and pumice stones in their vain flight.

POMPEII MONUMENT OF THE DAY
The discovery of the statue of Doriphorus, the symbol of youth and strength and a roman copy of the original of Polycletus, led early archaeologists to define this space with its surrounding colonnades beside the Large Theatre as a gymnasium (palestra). However, it was actually the headquarters of a military association of noble Pompeian youths who used to train here for parades and official competitions. The limited space available meant that certain kinds of training probably took place in the adjoining area of the Triangular Forum. The building dates back to the 2nd century B.C. and is enclosed by tuff-stone Doric columns on three sides only as, after the earthqu ... continue

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.
