From September 5 to October 4, 2025, the Archaeological Park of Pompeii and the other sites of Greater Pompeii will open in the evening, offering visitors a unique experience: night walks, theatrical performances, and special events.
How did the inhabitants of ancient Pompeii truly nourish themselves? Which animals were raised, what grains were cultivated, and what marine resources were exploited? These questions are addressed in a new scientific study recently published in the journal Scientific Reports, the result of a collaboration between several Italian and international research institutions.
Recent excavations in the Porta Sarno funerary area of Pompeii have led to the extraordinary discovery of a monumental tomb adorned with a life-size relief depicting a married couple. This exceptional find, a result of the "Investigating the Archaeology of Death in Pompeii Research Project," sheds new light on the funerary practices, religious beliefs, and social structure of the ancient Vesuvian city.
