The Archaeological Park of Pompeii is located in the city of the same name and preserves the ancient city devastated by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. Over the centuries, the city remained covered by a layer of ash and only portions of buildings from the upper floors were visible. At the end of the sixteenth century, Count Muzio Tuttavilla had a canal built by the architect Domenico Fontana to bring water to the city, and during the excavations, structures, objects, and inscriptions were found. It was only in 1748 that excavations began to uncover the submerged city. Thanks to King Charles III of Bourbon and his successors until after the Unification of Italy, it was possible to bring to light a large part of the archaeological area. Most of the areas found refer to private residences, the so-called domus. The discoveries of Pompeii have contributed to studies on the developments of Roman houses and their structure. Of great value are the frescoes in Pompeian style with colors such as red, yellow, white, and black. Pompeii is a unique site, it constitutes a city where time has stood still and it is still possible today to relive the forum (the ancient commercial square), the baths, the commercial streets, and the necropolis. In perfect condition are the stone-paved streets where you can see the tracks of carts and the incisive marks of the wheels. An important section is dedicated to the casts, that is, the skeletons of the eruption victims found in the same positions where they died. More than 100 casts constitute precious evidence of a timeless tragedy.
