You step off the regional train as the Campanian air pushes a history-smelling warmth through the station, then follow a guide through streets where stone still remembers every footstep. The walk into the Archaeological Park of Pompeii moves from modern bustle into a city paused by Vesuvius in 79 AD: cobbled lanes, threshold stones worn by centuries, and frescoed homes that hold the silhouettes of ordinary lives.
