After reading in many guidebooks that the modern town of Pompeii was to be avoided, we were pleasantly surprised by it's large park like piazza, active passeggiata, and beautiful 19th century Marian church. Say what you will about 19th century ornament; they had worked it out to a science, which in the right hands could be masterful.
