  • With a giant Volkswagen (VW) poster of their Lupo car in the foreground, we are viewing an aerial view of Via dei Condotti, the pedestrian street that runs west from the Spanish steps in the Italian capital, Rome. Written in the Italian language, the banner says the word Astemia which in English translates teetotaller, implying the vehicle is clean and non-polluting - in other words, zero emissions. This high viewpoint is taken from the top of the famous landmark where the height and perspective allows us to see down the street where shoppers to and fro amid the occasional vehicle crosses or is parked to make deliveries. On the corner of the poster building are balconies, terraces and the shuttered windows of apartments.

  • In the peristyle of the House of the Vettii in Pompeii is a fresco  where an ancient painted mural to the Greek Goddess Urania was unearthed from volcanic ash after 2,000 years. In Greek mythology, Urania which stems from the Greek word for 'heavenly' or 'of heaven', was the muse of astronomy. Some accounts list her as the mother of the musician Linus, usually depicted as having a globe in her left hand, she can foretell the future by the arrangement of the stars and is often associated with Universal Love and the Holy Spirit. Those who are most concerned with philosophy and the heavens are dearest to her. Painted before the catastrophic eruption of Versuvius in AD79, the frescoes have been uncovered from metre-layers of ash and pumice but are now fading from moisture and cracked plaster.

  • In the Villa of the Vettii in Pompeii we see a fresco in the lararium where a shrine to Roman guardian spirits of the household was situated. Family members performed daily rituals here to guarantee their protection by these domestic spirits. The first two characters are the deeply venerated 'lares' (presumed sons of Mercury and Lara) depicted as two young men in dancing postures, holding drinking horns that guaranteed prosperity. In the centre is the 'genius'. She is another guardian and fertility spirit ensuring the family line (gens) would continue and she wears the 'toga praetexta', bordered in purple, the garment of high-ranking Roman magistrates. Painted before the catastrophic eruption of Versuvius in AD79, these frescoes have been uncovered from metre-layers of volcanic ash and pumice but are now fading from moisture and cracked plaster...
