Ancient Art
Pompeii’s ancient art of textile dyeing is revived to show another side of life before eruption
A new project inside the Pompeii archaeological site is reviving ancient textile dyeing techniques to show another side of daily life before the city was destroyed by a volcano in 79 A.D.
The inspiration comes from frescoes unearthed inside the archaeological site that show winged cupids dying cloth, gathering grapes for wine and making perfumes.
