A still-life fresco discovered recently in the Pompeii archaeological site looks like a pizza, but it's not. Experts said key ingredients needed to make Italy's iconic dish — tomatoes and mozzarella — were not available when the fresco was painted.
This picture provided on Tuesday, June 27, 2023, by the Pompeii Archaeological Park shows the wall of an ancient Pompeian house with a fresco depicting a table with food. The fresco was found in the atrium of a house in Insula 10 of Regio IX under excavation, to which a bakery was annexed, already partially explored between 1888 and 1891 and whose investigations were resumed last January.
