Pompeii (/pɒmˈpeɪi/) was an ancient Roman city near modern Naples in the Campania region of Italy, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area (e.g. at Boscoreale, Stabiae), was buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Volcanic ash typically buried inhabitants who did not escape the lethal effects of the earthquake and eruption. Largely preserved under the ash, the excavated city offers a unique snapshot of Roman life, frozen at the moment it was buried[1] and providing an extraordinarily detailed insight into the everyday life of its inhabitants. Organic remains, including wooden objects and human bodies, were entombed in the ash and decayed away, making natural molds; and excavators used these to make plaster casts, unique and often gruesome figures from the last minutes of the catastrophe. The numerous graffiti carved on the walls and inside rooms provides a wealth of examples of the largely lost Vulgar Latin spoken colloquially, contrasting with the formal language of the classical writers. Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site status and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy, with approximately 2.5 million visitors every year.[2] Excavations recommenced in several unexplored areas of the city, and in 2018 new discoveries were reported

About Rimini
Rimini, on Italy's Adriatic coast, is a seaside resort with a long sandy beach, Roman monuments and a medieval old centre behind it.
Rimini's beach runs for kilometres along the Adriatic, backed by hotels, bars and boardwalks, the heart of the Romagna Riviera. The town behind it is Roman and medieval: the Arch of Augustus, built in 27 BC, marks the end of an ancient road, and the Bridge of Tiberius, completed in AD 21, is still in use. Castel Sismondo, a fifteenth-century fortress, anchors the old centre.
