Pompeii Street View. Vicolo dei Balconi. Formerly an unknown vicolo between V.2 and V.3.
Excavated 2018.
Part 1 Part 2
The discovery of 4-5 houses with balconies intact on the V.3 side of the vicolo has given it the name Vicolo dei Balconi.
We have reconstructed this page from photos, press material and photos produced by the Parco Archeologico di Pompei.
Our grateful thanks to the Parco Archeologico di Pompei for giving us permission to use their press releases and photos.
We have numbered the doorways B1 to B10 for clarity and to avoid confusion with existing doorways on other sides of the insula.
La
scoperta di 4-5 case con balconi intatti sul lato V.3 del vicolo le ha dato il
nome di Vicolo dei Balconi.
Abbiamo
ricostruito questa pagina da materiale stampa e foto prodotte dal Parco
Archeologico di Pompei.
Ringraziamo
il Parco Archeologico di Pompei per averci dato il permesso di utilizzare i
loro comunicati stampa e le loro foto.
Abbiamo
numerato le porte da B1 a B10 per chiarezza e per evitare confusione con le
porte esistenti su altri lati dell'isola.
