Why did casts form in Pompeii?
Bodies where buried under volcanic ash. The bodies themselves decayed but left cavities that preseved their dying poses. Archaeologists later poured plaster into these cavities to form casts of the people.
How did people make a living in Massachusetts?
They made a living by building ships, fishing, and rum.
It is not possible to make the same kind of casts at Herculaneum as Fiorelli made in Pompeii. In Pompeii, the ash fallout settled around bodies then hardened, creating a cavity in the shape of the body. Herculaneum experienced different conditions to Pompeii in the eruption; it was covered in a thick layer of hot volcanic material sometimes described as 'mud' which did not harden around the shape of the bodies in the same way as the ash did in Pompeii. So the remains that have been found in Herculaneum have been skeletons, (remembering that of course in Pompeii a skeleton is inside the plaster cast, and many skeletons were also found there that were not cast).
Interestingly, the casting technique is today being used to make a modern cast of the actual remains; these can be displayed without the issue of whether human remains should be viewed. Some of the skeletons of Herculaneum from the beachfront have been recently cast in this way for display purposes.

No one was involved in Pompeii. The eruption of the volcano was an act of nature.

What are some small cities in Italy?
Italy is a fair-sized country by European standards, so there are countless small cities there. Many have very old and beautiful centres. One of my favourites is Ravenna, which functioned as capital of the West Roman Empire from 402 till 476. Later, it was for a while (in the sixth century AD) the capital of Italy when it was ruled by the Ostrogoths. But this is a personal view. Get hold of a largescale map of Italy, pour over it and pick out a few places that capture your imagination. *A city of outstanding interest is Matera in Basilicata, Southern Italy, where many of the oldest dwelling are hewn out of the rocks in the hills. These appartments, if that's the right word for them, were refurbished from about 1980 onwards. (For a long time these dwellings were despised as slums, but now they are fashionable). *A third city that is of interest to travelers is [http://www.vallesangiovanni.com Valle San Giovanni], a small town of 350 people located near Teramo in the Abruzzo Region of Italy.

When was the dog mosaic of pompeii made?
The most well-known mosaic of a dog in Pompeii is thought to be made around the 2nd century BCE. It is located in the House of the Tragic Poet, a traditional Roman house in Pompeii that is famous for its mosaics with scenes from Greek mythology and dramas. The mosaic of the dog is nearly lifesize. It is black with white markings, wears a collar and chain, and appears to be growling. The words 'Cave Canem' ("Beware of the Dog") are below it. This mosaic is found near the entrance.
The house itself is named after a mosaic of actors performing a drama. Not much is known about the family who owned this house or their lifestyle. It was a beautiful house that has been remarkably well-preserved considering the eruption of Vesuvius and the amount of time that has passed. It has been suggested that the house belonged to P. Aninius who came from a family in Pompeii.
