The new official guide to the Archaeological Park of Pompeii accompanies the reader on a discovery of one of the most extraordinary archaeological sites in the world. The volume opens with a text by the Park's director, Gabriel Zuchtriegel, introducing the historical and cultural significance of the site.
Through clear and well-structured itineraries, which also include the Greater Pompeii—a system of parks and museums—the guide allows readers to explore streets, houses, public buildings, and places of worship, providing a vivid picture of daily life before the eruption of 79 AD. The text combines historical accuracy and accessible language, focusing on aspects such as urban organization, painting, and the habits of the inhabitants. Great attention is paid to the "memory of everyday life," uniquely preserved in a useful and engaging tool for understanding Pompeii and the Roman world.
