The driver meets you in Sorrento at dawn and the coast slides open: lemon groves run downhill toward a blue that pushes at the cliffs, and Mount Vesuvius keeps a slow, watchful profile on the horizon. You cross the modern peninsula in a comfortable, air-conditioned car and arrive at Pompeii — a city frozen in ash but alive in detail.
