FACILITATED POMPEII TOURS FOR WHEELCHAIRS WITH PRIVATE GUIDE
A new itinerary has been designed to meet the needs of visitors with reduced mobility (such as parents with young children and strollers, old, disabled people). Sidewalks and streets of the ancient city may represent an obstacle while visiting Pompeii. Today ramps and special connections will make the visitor’s walk easier. While not all obstacles could be removed, symbolic places and some of the most significant domus are now more easily accessible. That is why we call it friendly Pompeii ! Today special signs lead visitors around the excavations: visitors can see one of the city’s necropolis (cemeteries), casts of some victims of the eruption, an area cultivated as a vineyard, wonderful domus, as well as buildings open to the public for the first time.
The nice walk through the insulae (city blocks) of Pompeii lasts about two hours.

The entrance under the colonnade in the Forum was divided into two gateways by a votive aedicule and led into the open space which was originally surrounded by a portico.

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.
