The video shows different parts of the historic Roman city, such as the garden house with the triclinium frescoes and the painted portico, for example, and was narrated by the director of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, Massimo Osanna.  

In 2019, Pompeii received 3,9 million tourists, making it the third most visited museum in Italy, behind only the Colosseum in Rome and the Uffizi Galleries in Florence.

A prosperous and sophisticated Roman city, Pompeii was buried under meters of ash and pumice following the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
