What is Vesuvius Day?

Vesuvius Day remembers the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, which buried the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum under ash and preserved them for centuries. It's a day to reflect on nature's power and the remarkable history frozen in time beneath the volcano.
