Pompeii is an archeological site located in the Campania region, south of Naples, known  as the ancient city buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Indeed, it was one of the most notorious, not to mention deadly, eruptions of history. For the nature and magnitude of the phenomenon itself, the site is a unique composition of civil and private buildings, monuments, sculptures, paintings and mosaics; indeed, an outstanding outdoor museum.

Furthermore, the archaeological site is an unimaginable source of knowledge not for historians only, but for the whole academic world.

Many have mentioned Pompeii and the Vesuvius eruption in artistic works throughout the years; few examples are The last day of Pompeii by the painter Karl Pavlovič Brjullov, inspired by the homonymous Giovanni Pacini’s opera, the novel Arria Marcella by Théophile Gautier and, more recently, the movie The last day of Pompeii directed by Sergio Leone.
