The Top-Rated "History & Culture" Online experience is an appetizer of Pompeii. Together, we will "escape" from our homes and move back into Roman times!
I'll tell you the history of the city, from the beginning to the eruption, and then to the discovery. You'll get an introduction to the daily life of 2,000 years ago, discovering the private and public buildings that characterize the ancient city.
During our virtual trip, we will visit some of the main attractions such as the Amphitheater (Roman gladiator stadium), the Thermopolium (Roman snack bar) and the Forum (main square). I'll also share the techniques that archeologists use to create the plaster casts of the victims of the eruption of Vesuvius.
Looking at maps, videos and photos, you will have a taste of the Roman times that'll give you an idea for a future offline visit. Of course, I'll be happy to answer all of your questions, too!
Accompanying Gift: You'll receive a Pompeii-themed or related gift selected by your hosts to augment your virtual concert.

This tour was Awesome! Roberto was so knowledgeable and gave great information about the life of the Gladiators and citizens of Pompeii. I rally enjoyed the material and the use of Google Earth to walk the streets. Even though I was not there in person, you could really get a feel for what it looked like in the city. Absolutely one on the bucket list to visit one day!

There was a glitch with the start time due to Dabble not accounting for the lack of daylight savings time in Italy. That was frustrating as I had rearranged my work schedule for to accommodate the original start time. The Italian host, Roberto Musio, did a good job with the presentation and it was nice that he stopped at times so people could ask questions. He was friendly and knowledgeable. The subject matter was absolutely fascinating and the content was very good.
