The angry voices of Vesuvius did not warn the citizens of Pompeii , who were busy with their everyday's duties.
The sleeping giant did it all the time, sometimes his dark breath cover the city with dark clouds, sometimes his whispers were colored with red flames, but no one believe, that Vesuvius would finally do something more than just promises.
Even the memory of the earlier earthquake did not change the mind of Pompeians, as the new day was coming, the new ships would enter the harbour, and soon it would be the time to get the crop from the fruitfull fields.

So, maybe you can stay longer in bed, only the bakers need to get up early, some gym exercises are enough, and now it is a time to drink some fresh wine, just to check if it is still good.

Jet this time Vesuvius was really angry and his reaction was so sudden, that surprised people watched the dark clouds covering the sky, and the dust was so hot and so dense, that it was hard to breath...

The city of Pompeii for almost two thousand years disappeared from the earth's surface. Only in half of 19th century excavation works uncovered to surprised archaeologists the remains of Pompeii as real as from yesterday.

Today many of visitors came almost everyday to see Pompeii, Vesuvius and more happier region of Amalfi Coast with Ravello, Sorrento and the island of Sirens - Capri.
