The G.B. Alfano Vesuvian Museum has an interesting collection detailing the history of the Mount Vesuvius eruptions. There are around 200 specimens of rocks, ash and lava fragments from the volcano. Also here visitors can see paintings, prints and 19th Century photographs, which detail the various eruptions from 79 AD – the volcanic eruption that buried the city of Pompei – to the last one in 1944. It also holds the reproductions of archaeological finds from the Vesuvian area.
