Walking along the streets of Pompeii means going back in time, for its tragic destruction and miraculous unearthing represents a unique historical and human document. Pompeii presents a picture, still intact, of a city whose life was unexpectedly interrupted in 79 A.D. by one of the most catastrophic eruptions of Vesuvius. For centuries, there was no information to be found about Pompeii, even its exact position was lost. The first discoveries took place in 1628 in the Sarno valley. The most extraordinary aspect of Pompeii is represented by the variety of styles amongst the paintings covering the walls of the houses. Such paintings are almost always pieces copied from the masterworks of celebrated Grecian artists which, unfortunately, are now lost.
