OPERA IN SAN CARLO THEATRE IN NAPLES
Details
Now carefully restored to its former splendour, the San Carlo is the oldest working theatre in Europe (41 years older than Milano's Scala and 51 years older than Venice's Fenice). Teatro di San Carlo was built by King Charles of Bourbon who wished to endow his capital city with a grand house to replace the old and crumbling San Bartolomeo. On March 4th, 1737 a contract was signed with architect Giovanni Antonio Medrano. The cost was fixed at 75,000 ducats and the completion term given for the end of that same year. This contract was fulfilled with astonishing precision: as early as November 4th, 1737 - the king's name day - San Carlo was inaugurated with Metastasio's opera Achille in Sciro.

POMPEII MONUMENT OF THE DAY
The house belonged to Quintus Poppaeus, on of the Poppaeus family to whom Nero’s second wife, Poppaea Sabina, most probably belonged. It extends over 2,000 square metres and reflects the traditional layout of a roman house, with its atrium and peristyle as well as servant quarters and a bath-house. Before admiring the large peristyle it is worth stopping briefly in the atrium, where the lararium is situated in the right-hand corner, and in the room to the left where the walls are frescoed with a triptych inspired by the Trojan war. On the right we can see the death of Laocoon who, along with his children, was strangled by a snake; to the right, Cassandra resist abdu ... continue

FORBIDDEN POMPEII: IMAGES AND NEWS
Love was a common topic of conversation in Pompeii. Feelings, passions, poetic love, sex, homosexuality, prostitution and so forth were all part of daily life and not a source of prejudice. The concept of “obscenity” seems to have been unknown. Love and sex were considered earthly practices of a man’s life that were encouraged by the benevolence of Venus. The thousands of examples of graffiti found on the town’s walls are unequivocal proof of what the people of Pompeii thought about love and sex.
