The story of Pompei is so amazing. I dream to see it someday, hopefully without your funny tourists. :)
Are they still excavating? Do they need volunteers to dig?

Nazzareno ha detto...

@Dina:at the moment they aren't digging. They are restoring and consolidating all the houses, the roads and the decorations.

Je suis intriguée par ces colonnes si fines, sont-elles d'origine ? Elles ne me semblent pas être en pierre.
Pompéi est une formidable nécropole : toutes ces vies ensevelies trop tôt qui y ont laissé leur empreinte en creux.
Et la vie continue, sur les versants fertiles du Vésuve...

Nazzareno ha detto...

@Cergie: Les colonnes de la villa sont sûrement celles-là d'origine, mais je ne sais pas s'ils sont totalement en pierre ou seul revêtues, parce que la photo est prise de la route, à travers une grille fermée.

Ville de pierres et de cendres, Ville phantôme.
Nous en avons une aussi une ville phantôme en France, rayée de la carte par la barbarie Nazi, dont les habitants, à part deux ou trois, ont été tous massacrés.

"Are you mad about what has been happening inside Iran these days? Well then take a deep breath... blow it all into a Green Balloon... and wait until Friday afternoon to send it up to the sky, wherever you are on this planet. Millions of Iranians inside Iran are planning to paint the sky green on Friday exactly at 1pm Tehran time. The non-violent green movement is being cracked down on the ground, so lets take it to the sky."
