"ARCHAEOLOGY OF MOVEMENT. RITES AND PRACTICES IN POMPEII" Archaeology is to give an account of the daily activities of the people of the past. This is the case for the Porta Nocera necropolis, in Pompeii, where foot paths have been preserved under a 4-meter layer of ash and pumice, exactly as they were at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79. Extensive excavations at this site enabled us to recreate entire sequences of movements associated with rituals.

 IF THE VOLCANIC SOILS OF VESUVIUS GIVE VIGOUR TO THE PIENNOLO, WHAT'S THEIR EFFECT ON THE GRAPEVINE? Vesuvius’ soils drain well and quickly, Maria Paola Sorrentino explained, causing the grape vine’s root system to go very deep to find moisture. This gives the vines of the Vesuvio DOC a stable supply of water over the hot Southern Italian summers. This is particularly relevant on the volcano because Mount Vesuvius is a National Park and viticultural practices are highly regulated to protect its unique biome, including a ban on irrigation. Malcolm Jolley: Naples and the wines of Vesuvius | The Hub

FROM VINEYARDS DIRECTLY BELOW MOUNT VESUVIUS Volcanic soils seem to help impart a distinctive character to wine, both red and white, not found in other places. Water drains through volcanic soil easily; the soil also isn't usually very fertile and is high in mineral content. Of course, not all volcanic soils are found on active volcanoes. And, of course, there's Campania in Italy, where you can even visit Pompeii and try the wines in situ if you like. What Makes Volcanic Wines So Distinctive | Food & Wine
