Naples!

Today we had a great experience while in Naples. We first went to a 4th century Duomo and saw an early Christian Baptistery. Then we walked to an Archeological Museum. In the museum we first got to see the "Secret Cabinet". This included many pieces of "erotic" art from Pompeii. We then toured the rest of the site getting to see many different mosaics and carved statues. On our way home from the museum we got to stop and see an amazing view which Professor Gatti shows a picture of below. Words cannot describe the beauty of this coastal city. From the view we could see the city Naples itself, Pompeii, Mt. Vesuvius, and Capri. The weather has been great and the hotel is very nice. We are all having a great time! We will continue our course with an evening session tonight and head to Spoleto tomorrow morning.

Buona sera,

Jaclyn
