Sounds great! One comment I’ve seen made in print a few times is, there’s a sense that the owners could come home at any moment, probably an exaggeration, but in places like the House of the Vettei even the plants in the garden have been restored. The method of using plaster of Paris to cast the vanished forms of people who were buried in ash was used to built a facsimile of the vanished roots and the plants were identified from that.
