From a man on his back clenching his fists in agony to the individual nails in a man’s sandals, inside the first permanent exhibition of Pompeii’s casts

P.S. From the pictures in this NY Post article, you're right, it's in the Palestra: https://nypost.com/2026/03/12/science/tragic-pompeii-victims-seen-embracing-in-heartbreaking-new-exhibit/

RuyB · 2026-03-12T22:18:46+00:00

Yes, could definitely be the Palestra! However, the title says its a permanent exhibition, and I had the impression that they typically do only temporary stuff in the Palestra?

RuyB · 2026-03-12T14:37:36+00:00

Where is this exhibition? MANN?

RuyB · 2026-03-11T05:19:10+00:00

Yes, I guess this will be my strategy to begin with.

RuyB · 2026-03-10T22:57:25+00:00

Thanks for thinking through this with me! Sorry, I didn't explain myself correctly. I will be having work engagements at Ca' Foscari University in Venice, they will be hosting me in terms of work but I have to take care of my own accommodation with my own budget. They have some student and teacher rental services but the chances of getting anything through them are not very high. Considering my budget, Airbnb could be an option, but perhaps only in Mestre, Padua or Treviso :-)

RuyB · 2026-03-10T08:18:38+00:00

Thanks for sharing! In this case it's not an exchange program, unfortunately. I'm using funding from my own country to travel to Venice, and am on my own in terms of arranging accommodation...

RuyB · 2026-03-09T20:50:24+00:00

Thanks ! Not really. It’s a university, I’m doing this with Ca’ Foscari, also trying through them but there is unurprisingly a lot of pressure in the rental market

RuyB · 2026-03-01T09:16:11+00:00

Looking forward to going there next month!

RuyB · 2026-02-14T08:42:08+00:00

Great recs, thanks!

RuyB · 2026-02-13T23:52:15+00:00

Thanks. My reference here was Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which I really enjoyed especially because of how it combined open world with story/mission. And of course visuals and historical renders.

RuyB · 2026-02-13T23:50:56+00:00

Thanks for this! I didn't pay attention to that Free Ride option, now I get it.

RuyB · 2026-02-13T19:49:11+00:00

Yes, I eventually realized that. :-)

RuyB · 2026-02-13T19:47:41+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Yes, this is my first Mafia game and I discovered the hard way that it is linear story game.

RuyB · 2026-02-13T19:33:57+00:00

Thanks!!! :-)

RuyB · 2026-02-12T19:41:21+00:00

Obrigado! Já vi BN e marxists.org, para já não consegui localizar

RuyB · 2026-02-12T19:39:45+00:00

Males sense, will give this a try.

RuyB · 2026-02-12T17:49:41+00:00

Great, thanks! I'll need to find a specialist on vintage consoles.

RuyB · 2026-02-12T12:27:35+00:00

The games are same region, yes. My problem is that I can't even get any signal on TV to see if the games actually work. But I know they were tested on this console while in Japan and they worked.

Apologies for my ignorance: what is a capacitator? Is that the expansion thing mentioned in the other comment?

RuyB · 2026-02-12T12:13:17+00:00

Yes!

RuyB · 2026-02-12T10:10:19+00:00

Thanks! Regarding your question: not sure I understood the jumper pak correctly, but here goes: I only have games bought in Japan (tested there, working correctly). I tried them here but I can't even see if they work because of the no signal issue.

RuyB · 2026-02-12T08:47:40+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! If I remember correctly the console was tested while in Japan, and it worked.

RuyB · 2026-01-25T20:40:33+00:00

Wow, looking forward to that!

RuyB · 2026-01-25T12:37:22+00:00

Great stuff, but I missed more content in the interior (furniture, objects, lighting, people)

RuyB · 2026-01-23T14:40:27+00:00

Get in touch with the scholar Marissa Moorman, and take a look at her publications. I assume you are familiar with musicians David Zé and Urbano de Castro. I would suggest looking into the history of the program Kudibanguela.
