Story

Pompeii, 79 A.D., the night before the eruption. The journey of “Tonight in Pompeii” with Alberto Angela begins here, in the hours leading up to the catastrophe. Minute by minute, we’ll follow the tragedy that forever marked ancient history, recounting the reactions, the emotions, and the flight. And what happened afterward. We’ll see many places frozen in time, just like Pompeii: Herculaneum, with its marvelous, still-intact thermal baths and the fabulous jewels found on the skeletons of those who fled; Stabiae and Oplonti, with their lavish villas featuring swimming pools and views of the Gulf of Naples.
