Pompeii Video Online: Guardians of a legacy
Ancient Pompeii, a 150 acre walled city in southern Italy, was destroyed and covered by volcanic material when nearby Mt. Vesuvius erupted in AD 79.

This film describes how the recently created Pompeii Trust is attempting to preserve this important piece of history for future generations.
