In the excavation of Pompeii has been brought to light the ancient Roman city destroyed tragically following an eruption of the nearby volcano Vesuvius, which occurred in 79. Already some years before - in 62 - a terrible earthquake, prefiguring much of the major disaster that would have struck the city in a few years, struck the city of Pompeii and Herculaneum and other towns in Campania. Seventeen years later, while work continues at a fast pace (even ifpublic buildings were still almost all to be restored), the city and its people lived one of the greatest tragedies of ancient history. Today Pompeii is the
second most visited archaeological site in the world.The city came to light in 1748, thanks to the excavations took and funded by Charles of Bourbon. The excavations of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Oplontis are shown in the UNESCO World Heritage List. the town of Pompeii was destroyed and completely buried during a long catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius spanning two days in 79 AD. The eruption buried Pompeii under meters of ash and pumice, and Pompeii was lost for nearly 1,600 years before its accidental rediscovery in 1592. The date of the eruption in 79 A.D. is known through a letter of Pliny the Younger which reads nonum kal. septembres, namely "24 August". This date was contained in the variant universally considered the most reliable and the manuscript has been accepted as safe so far, although some archaeological evidence emerged were in bad agreement with a summer date.
