ANTONIO DE SIMONE (off screen): This is the first plaster cast
that was made in Pompeii.
While the archaeologist was digging
at about 16 feet above road level,
he noticed a hollow space,
and immediately thought it could be a body.
DE SIMONE: The cast has accurately preserved all the details
of the cape worn by the victim
as if it was a sculpture.
DE SIMONE: If we look closely, we can see a dividing line.
Above it, the face was probably a shapeless bulk
which was then redefined with extra plaster,
so this has all been re-worked.
They didn't set out to deceive,
but the casts are like photos of the tragedy.
They need to convey what happened.
DR. GRETE STEFANI: In a monument at Porta Nocera necropolis,
I excavated a grave, and inside it I found
this collection of small animals
made from bone.
It's a mother dog with her puppies
DICUS (in Italian): So lovely.
STEFANI: There were also some small animals
made from amber, like this cow
and a small amber soldier.
STEFANI: And also some tiny vases, like this.
Like all of these things, they were children's toys.
DICUS (in Italian): So beautiful.
