This video is one of the many high quality National Geographic films. It's material is targeted for 2 groups: Potential tourists to southern Italy, and Ancient History enthusiasts (and is rated 5 stars for them). The video is very accurate, I have visited most of the sights myself. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Since the days of the Roman Empire, Italy's Mount Vesuvius has erupted more than 50 times, devastating whole cities and towns. In A.D. 79 it destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum, burying people alive as they ran to escape the volcano's fury. Lost and forgotten for more than 1,600 years, the once-thriving trade center of Pompeii has been successfully uncovered by archaeologists. At Herculaneum, human skeletons were found in a fatal embrace. Although Vesuvius is sleeping now, this active volcano is never far from the minds of the two million people who live in its shadow.
