TODAY IS: Vesuvius Day in Italy, commemorating the day in AD 79 when Mount Vesuvius erupted, completely burying the city of Pompeii. For a goofy interpretation of the disaster, check out the 1959 Italian film THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII, starring Steve "Superman" Reeves as a gladiator during the doomed city's twilight.
