Four-fifths (4/5) of the territory of Pompeii have been allready excaved. It is the most famous archaeological site all over the world. The tremendous eruption of the Vesuvius covered the city on 79 A.C. under 6-7 m of ashes, cinders and pomice. Most of the inhabitants of the city that could run away died near the coast. Others instead died suffocated in the undergrounds of the houses. To take a walk through the excavations of Pompeii is an unforgettable experience, like a real trip through the times, breathing the atmosphere of the public and private life during the antiquity. It is surprising how many houses is possible to find there, luxurious and humble ones, conserved together with stores, taverns and bakeries. It permits the visitors to take a look into the most intime aspects of the life of those inhabitants of Pompeii.
