You slide into a leather seat as coastal light softens over the Bay of Naples; the driver eases the Mercedes van out of the city and the road becomes a ribbon of cliffs and citrus-scented air. Midway, the vehicle pulls up at the gates of Pompeii — a place where time seems to have paused under a blanket of volcanic ash — and you step out into a grid of stone streets that still hold footprints from two thousand years ago.
