Secret History
A discovery, says the archaeological site director Massimo Osanna to ANSA, who "returns an incredible photograph of the day of the eruption", and opens up new studies on the life, uses and nutrition of the Pompeians, "It will be an Easter gift for visitors", announces. Italy's Culture Minister Dario Franceschini applauds the find, calling it "a virtuous example for the recovery of the country".
The excavation, which is not part of the Great Pompeii Project, is however located in the Regio V area where consolidation and excavation works were carried in recent years.
The presence of the Thermopolium, located right in front of the "Gladiator inn", almost on the corner between the Vicolo dei Balconi and the Via della Casa delle Nozze d'Argento, had already been noticed in 2019, when a first excavation started.

Ps Check out this great protest in Canada of zombies doing the walking dead in hazmat suits and masks while the P.A. system drones on with 'helpful' slogans.: "Thinking for yourself endangers the common good; Solitary confinement is safe; sterility is essential; aloneness is the answer; restrictions are freedom,. pharmaceutical companies love you; obedience is love, questioning vaccines is murder" "Questioning masks in murder;" "Reporting your family is duty" GREAT script writer. [Link] A really witty writer behind that and there are a lot more sardonic scuffs directed at Big Brother, BFM et al. Good stuff.

(I am aware they had some notice of prior volcanic activity, but I'm sure few could afford to take a bus to Rome, etc.
