Restoring Pompeii as

The p~atricians of old Pompeii had

full gardens was entered through a
carriage pavilion, the high entrance
surmounted by a bell. Across the
threshold a court in white and gold
between two rows Of pillars led to the
spacious sloping terraces watered by
a drowsy brook. The twitter OF a
thousand birds completed the pastoral
landscape. Excavators have resur-
rected this garden. The lawns are
green again, as they were when Vesuvi-
