Archaeologists claim that it was a luxury private home, equipped with heating on a cement floor and decorated with frescoes. The researchers conclude that the roof of the building was wood and that it was destroyed in a fire.

Just as the ashes of Vesuvius preserved the remains of Pompeii, the paintings of the walls of this house in Verona have been perfectly preserved in the ashes of the fire. That’s why those responsible say they’ve found “a little Pompeii.”
