Pompeii Under The Volcano-Guide to the town buried by Mount Vesuvius 2000 Years Ago, by edizioi spano. The book contains guided itineraries illustrated with 250 photos, reconstructions, maps, drawings and thematic notes. This book was especially helpful to me as a reference for my photo album and VT pages!
We paid 7.23 Euros for the book. Leave a Comment Theme: BooksAddress: the street leading to the ruinsDirections: Between the Pompei train station and the Pompeii Scavi (ruins) entrance.

 Necklaces, rings and other
things by VeronicaG
I was hoping to find a ring to go with a cameo pendant bought decades ago for me by my parents on our first visit to Pompeii. Ah-ha! In minutes I spied a ring which bore a profile that to me seemed a delicately carved beauty. It was also modest in price.
Yet if you are not searching for jewelry, there are other items to be found at the store, such as music boxes, inlaid furniture and other keepsakes.
The cameo factory continues to be a traditional stop for travelers who are visiting the ancient ruins. Its location certainly makes it convenient since it is directly outside the site. Theme: JewelryAddress: Pompeii, ItalyDirections: Outside the ancient ruins

If you are looking for a typical symbol of Pompei, don't be surprised if a street vendor offers you a phallus statue. It has nothing to do with Vesuvius or with sex (I know, I know... Strange!) Actually, a model of errected phallus was kept in every house or was painted on their doors to keep the evel away (and what else?!)!
"Limonchello" is also a typical gift from this area. It is a sort of lemon liquer.
You will find volcanic stones being soled or typical souvenires like ashtrays, amphors etc.
Be prepared to pay a lot of money, because gifts in here are not cheap. But you can always try to bargain! Leave a Comment Theme: Gifts

This vendor was close to the main square on the way to the ruins, close to McDonald's. I really got suckered into buying this corral necklace. The man and woman running the "shop" seemed nice, but I accidentally asked how much this large corral necklace cost. They picked up the necklace and put it in a bag before I could even look it over and inspect it. They started making a big to-do about how pretty I was and how they were going to give me this great deal!! I asked how much it was, even though it had already been put in a bag! I couldn't really understand their broken English. I thought they said $15, which wouldn't have been a bad price. I asked my husband to get out money so I could negotiate. Big mistake!! The nice lady took 50 euros out of his hand and actually gave him back 30 euros! (Big suprise) My necklace cost 30 euros. My Mom liked it and bought one for 30 euros too. The next day, my beautiful corral necklaces orange paint started to chip to reveal large plastic white beads!!!! Both of our necklaces were fake corral. Upon inspections it was actually pretty obvious too....if we would've been given a chance to look!! The holes of each bead where it is strung are lighter in color and look obviously painted!!!

There are several shops and street vendors at the entrance of the ruins and they sell everything you can imagine, from a pencil to a piece of lava! There are also very explicit souvenirs :). Prices were high as in any souvenir shop but they accept credit cards.
my sister bought a piece of lava for 1€!
I bought a book of Pompeii's history.
