SORRENTO
P O M P E I I Pompeii is one of the most significant proofs of Roman civilization and provides outstanding information on the art, customs, and everyday life of the past. The city has reemerged from the darkness of centuries precisely as it would have been when it was unexpectedly buried in the thick layer of ash and lava which poured down from the devastating eruption of Vesuvius. 25
The sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi extends over a series of terraces in the foothills of Mount Parnassos, between two enormous rocks, called the Phaidriades. For many centuries this was the religious and spiritual center of the ancient Greek world. According to tradition, Delphi was the geographical center of the world, the omphalos ( navel ), the meeting point of two eagles dispatched by Zeus from the ends of the universe to find the center of the world.
