'Little Pompeii' emerges at Verona ex-cinema

A 2nd-century AD Roman building has emerged from a dig at a former cinema in Verona in a find that "evokes a miniature Pompeii", the Veneto city's archaeological superintendency said Monday.
    The building, with "magnificent frescoed walls", appears to have survived a fire, it said.
    But it was left abandoned after the blaze, with its roof having fallen in and charred furniture among the finds.
