Having visited Pompeii, I highly recommend you visit. Very “modern” designs in the city as far as running water, etc. Cheers!

And the "porno" drawings on the wall. Didn't expect to see that on the tour.

“porno” drawings on the wall.

My grandfather was from Florence. Studied at the Vatican to become a priest. Some kind of “problem” with some nuns & he was “evicted”. This was back in the late 1800’s

But, on a field trip to Pompeii, the whole assemblage was horrified and red faced when they came upon the graffiti upon the walls. They were all well versed in the Latinate of the day...

My grandfather just laffed....
