The greatest reconstruction of life and the habits of Pompeii and Herculaneum in a docu-film produced by the British Museum will be shown in The Space cinemas
It will be held tonight in The Space cinemas, in a single event, the projection of the docu-film on Pompeii, which from 28 March to 29 September 2013 has met with considerable success at British Museum in London, attracting almost 300.000 visitors in three months.
Life and death in Pompeii and Herculaneum, this is the title of the cinematographic work, represents a close look at the life and death in the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, completely submerged by ash and lapilli due to the catastrophic eruption of the Vesuvius of 79 AD
This is the first cinematographic document realized on the daily life of these two towns born and developed at the foot of one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, protagonists of a tragic page of history that continues to upset but also to exercise a particular charm all over the world. In fact, millions of tourists visit the excavations and archaeological finds of Pompeii and Herculaneum each year, arriving almost intact to this day.
Il British Museum for this reason, he decided to produce a documentary that illustrates the latest 24 hours of daily life in these two cities, transporting the spectators in a very accurate historical reconstruction of the habits of the time, between the animated streets of Pompeii and Herculaneum, between the shops and the shops, the costumes and the free time of the inhabitants of 2000 years ago. An unprecedented testimony that portrays a very faithful "photograph" of the serenity that characterized the humanity of these places, until a few moments before the eruption of Vesuvius which upset, destroyed and completely annihilated these two towns.
Despite the success achieved across the Channel, the documentary Life and death in Pompeii and Herculaneum he created in Italy lots of controversy related to our lack of ability to keep and promote a treasure of global significance, which is instead valued abroad, until it is transformed into something that no longer seems to belong to us.
The one of tonight November 25, however, represents a unique opportunity to witness a splendid cinematographic and artistic work produced by one of the most famous museums in the world.
