White Trails of History

Recently, I have started my own homepage, where I am going to place results of almost all of my researches and interests. 

www.tschurilow.de

The Site is in two languages: Russian and German, however the content is not exactly the same. Unfortunately, I will be not in a position in the nearest future to make this Site also in English, if ever. Unluckily Luckily, for those people who doesn't speak Russian or German there is the Google-Translator, but be careful using it. 
Anyway you are welcome!
I hope you will enjoy.

Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabia to be again a "Soprintendenza Speciale", separated from Napoli and Caserta.

A new decree from the Consiglio dei Ministri has established the independence of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabia from Napoli and Caserta. However, a new figure will be created, the director of the "Progetto Pompei" who will be in charge of "definire le emergenze, assicurare lo svolgimento delle gare, migliorare la gestione del sito e delle spese" (identifies the areas in need of emergency activities, take care of the contracts, better the management of the site and expenditures".
