- Summary
-
Tells how in 79 A.D. the violent eruption of Vesuvius buried the city of Pompeii beneath a devastating rain of dust and ashes, where it remained until recently. Pictures the city as it has been uncovered and partially restored. The commentator recreates the life of the city as gardens, statues, streets, temples, and the amphitheater are shown. Then shifts to Naples, twelve miles away, with Vesuvius in the background--a symbol, reminder, and warning of the fate Naples so narrowly escaped.
