The morning begins on the Amalfi Coast road, the bus easing out of Positano as sunlight fingers the pastel façades and Vesuvius darkens the horizon like a remembered story. By the time you arrive, the air carries both the dust of antiquity and the sharp scent of Mediterranean scrub. Walking into Pompeii is stepping into a Roman street frozen by volcanic wrath—shadows of daily life preserved under ash.
