Gruesome finds in Italy: among the dead is a three-year-old child

On Thursday, March 12, a permanent exhibition was opened in Italy, presenting over 20 sculptures cast in plaster, recreating the agony of the victims of the Pompeii volcano in their final moments. The casts, which were created by Giuseppe Fiorelli in the 19th century, capture the final poses of those who perished when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. The exhibition, located near the archaeological site, aims to provide a powerful and moving insight into the human tragedy of the ancient disaster.
