Pompeii’s Amphitheater
The Amphitheater of Pompeii is one of the oldest surviving Roman amphitheaters in the world and the first known to be made of stone. It was built in 70 BC following Pompeii’s induction as a Roman colony with private funds from duoviri (magistrates) Caius Quinctus Valgus and Marcus Porcius, who also had the Odeion built. Just like the city where it is located the amphitheater was also buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
La Maggiolata
The last two Sundays in May mark an important event in the town’s history. Called La Maggiolata, it celebrates the beginning of the summer’s bounty and is the most important celebration for the 3000 inhabitants of Lucignano.
