Directed by Pappi Corsicato
Starring Isabella Rossellini
Narrator, Isabella Rossellini explores the once magnificent and mysterious Roman city, Pompeii, one of antiquity’s most evocative archaeological sites. This improbably preserved city from the past has extended its influence throughout history and influenced culture and art from Neoclassicism to Contemporary Art.
We are introduced to the words and images of all the great artists that have visited: from Pliny to Picasso, from Emily Dickinson to Jean Cocteau.
The documentary looks at much more than just the eruption, exploring what the city itself was actually like, how its citizens lived their lives, spent their free time and experienced pleasure.
