Kitchen restored in Pompeii's Fullonica

(ANSA) - Naples, August 1 - Pompeii museum curators have restored the furnishings of a kitchen located in a public laundry in ancient Pompeii in a bid to show what it looked like before Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD.
    The so-called Fullonica of Stephanus was first excavated in 1912 and the kitchen furnishing were identified through an inventory from the original dig, which documents what was found where.
    The Fullonica had great masonry vats with running water for rinsing, stone basins for dyeing, washing, and removing stains, and a press to make dried fabrics shine.
