What happens

Gli ultimi giorni di Pompei (English title: The Last Days of Pompeii) is a 1913 Italian black and white silent film directed by Eleuterio Rodolfi. Based on Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 1834 novel of the same name, the film – one of two different adaptations of the same book in Italy that year – is set during the final days leading up to the Mount Vesuvius eruption in Pompeii in 79 AD.
