Pompeii is unique in the world as it gives us the possibility to reconstruct the daily life of the inhabitants of a city that on a catastrophic way (the eruptios of the Vesivius) has immortalized. The love for architecture, gardens and frescoes can be seen in the homes of the Pompei citizens. The gardens were full of fountains, thanks to the possibility of use the running water. Mosaics completed the decoration inside the houses. The heart of the city life, commercial and political activities, the centre of all the economical, and the classic meeting point, the "piazza" of Pompeii, was the Forum.he Basilica, the Comitium, the government seats, the Giove's temple. And many other temples that testify the religious culture. The most popular places of the city were the Thermae and were divided into male and female sections, included a calidarium (hot bath), tepidarium (warm bath) and frigidarium (cold bath), and other rooms were used for massages and aesthetic procedures.
