Prior to the eruption of Vesuvius, Pompeii was a thriving city. Then it was buried with so little warning in 79 A.D. that Pompeii was literally frozen in time.

Actors, film directors, artists and adventurers of every type populated the Amalfi Coast with their great love stories and scenes of jealousy, works of art…
