Scavi Di Pompei

Pompei was once destroyed by Vesuvius, but people didn't pay much attention to it at that time. The ancient city of Pompeii is very famous. Today's Pompeii is just a piece of ruins. If you don't know what you're going to see, you'll only see some ruins. Therefore, we suggest you learn about the history of Pompeii first. Due to a volcanic eruption, the whole Pompeii ancient city was destroyed, but it completely retained all the life scenes of the ancient city at that time. After sleeping for many years, it was not until 1739 that the ancient city of Pompeii was gradually excavated, which made the city come back to people's sight again and gave people a chance to understand the living conditions of the Pompeii People 2,000 years ago. In the excavation, hundreds of people who died in the eruption of the volcano were found. Because the bodies were rotten, only their bodies were left. Archaeologists made these bodies into casts to show the miserable situation of Pompeii to the world at that time. The ancient city of Pompeii is very large.
