  • COMO ESTAO
  • Been here, THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH! PARADISE!!
  • Time stood still for the inhabitants of this area. A volcanic eruption left us with a window to view their lives. I love the way they built, named their streets and how the disposed of their wastes.
  • One of the greatest disappointments of my life. There is nothing here - absolutely nothing but brick. Every single artifact has been removed to the museum in Naples. If you were expecting to see mosaics, body casts, statues, or anything else you can forget about it.
  • This is where Pink floyd played their famous gig in 1971 :D
