Thanks to a private sponsor, the House of Marcus Fabius Rufus in Pompeii is set for restoration, with a portion expected to welcome guided groups by this Christmas. The renovation focuses on fresco restoration and improved visitor access, addressing the extensive damage the site suffered since its closure in 1980 due to a volcanic eruption.
