The story represented

For those who don’t know, the story that the exhibition tells is about the decimation of the people and the city of Pompeii, part of the ancient Roman Empire and located in southern Italy. The city was hit by the incredible eruption of the volcano known as Vesuvius.

The devastation was so great that it created a huge collection of petrified bodies, animals and objects, which the effervescent stone consumed. However, the bodies only began to be discovered in the 18th century.
