Italy has so much to explore. During our most recent Mediterranean cruise, one stop was in Civitavecchia. Civitavecchia, Italy, is a place filled with history and beauty. As we stepped off the cruise ship onto the cobblestone streets, the charm of this coastal town northwest of Rome immediately struck me. The sea breeze filled the air and the sound of seagulls added to the picturesque scene. We wandered through the streets, marveling at the ancient buildings and the remnants of the Roman Dock, which spoke volumes about the town’s rich past. The Port of Civitavecchia, originally built in the 2nd century, still stands strong, welcoming visitors from around the world.

A 4-year-old boy visiting a museum in Israel accidentally smashed a 3,500-year-old jar. The boy’s father, Alex, told the BBC his son “pulled the jar slightly” because he was “curious about what was inside,” causing it to topple and break. The Bronze Age crockery—which was dated to between 2200 and 1500 B.C.—was notable because of its excellent condition, with similar artifacts typically found broken or incomplete, the Hecht Museum in Haifa told the British broadcaster. It also defended its decision to display the jar close to the museum’s entrance without precautions that might have prevented the accident because “whenever possible, items are displayed without barriers or glass walls.” An official with the museum said a conservation specialist has been given the task of restoring the item, which will be returned to display “in a short time.” Alex said he was “relieved” it will be restored but was nevertheless “sorry” that “it will no longer be the same item.”Read it at BBCRead more at The Daily Beast.
