Palazzo Madama presents the exhibition Invitation to Pompeii. An "invitation" to enter the houses of Pompeii, to discover what the atmosphere was, how they were furnished, what objects were used daily by its inhabitants, how they were decorated and embellished, through a journey into the Pompeian world.
In the majestic Sala del Senato, where Italy was made, visitors walk through the most representative rooms of the most luxurious houses of Pompeii of the first century AD. The Roman domus, for the first time in Turin, opens its doors to visitors, welcoming them in domestic intimacy and showing them the normality of daily life on the slopes of Vesuvius.
A blast from the past, which offers the
opportunity to wander around those environments where the eruption of
Vesuvius in 79 AD. suddenly extinguished the life of its inhabitants.
The Pompeii of today is nothing but the skeleton of the ancient city, drained of all forms of life by the natural disaster and emptied of those objects that would allow us to imagine it as it was.
The exhibition is beautiful and terrifying at the same time....

Interesting. I visited Napoli many years ago, but missed out on seeing Pompeii.
I would be fascinated by that exhibit.
