News round-up, May 15th 2009

  • Some poor tourist slipped over outside the brothel this week and broke her shoulder and fractured her leg. She then had to limp to the Porta Stabia to reach first aid ... (Source). Incidentally, a poor French school boy was bitten by one of the stray dogs of the site a couple of months ago.
  • A large piece of Roman column was found yesterday in Naples during sewer works (Source) and has been taken to the Naples Museum.
  • 'Corri per Pompei' takes place on Saturday at 6pm. The runners' route will take them into the Scavi. 'La pineta degli scavi, oltre a prestarsi come scenario suggestivo delle competizioni sportive, è a disposizione, tutto l'anno, dei giovani pompeiani iscritti ad associazioni sportive e non per gli allenamenti. Chiamando agli uffici comunali, allo 081.857.62.22, si possono avere tutte notizie utili per poter accedere gratis all'area verde della città sepolta' (Source).
  • This one is a couple of weeks old, but interesting nevertheless: Vesuvio, il piano di evacuazione ignora i beni culturali.
