Photography Policy at Pompeii

My wife and I were in Pompeii in October 2016. I carried a Sony RX-100iv but saw folks with all kinds of photo equipment, no tripods however - suggest you leave that behind. Very enjoyable despite the crowds.

Thank you to everyone for your experiences and advice. I am less apprehensive now about taking my D800.

Well, this one is about 1,940 yrs old so all the workers are retired. <grin>

There was a statue of a guy in there, maybe 1940 years old but very well endowed. They had a sense of humor back then.

was there 18 months ago, no problem with a "pro" camera, though I didn't use a tripod (which may be not needed anyway). There are similar announced restrictions for Knossos (Crete) that I honored to my regret.

My wife and I were there in 2013 as a shore excursion offered on a cruise. The cruise ship never cautioned us about this. I had a D700 and a 28-300 lens. We walked freely around the area and had no issues. Sorry that I can’t give you an update for 2019 though.

Went to Pompeii this past summer and saw nothing that prohibited cameras. Tripods are pretty much not allowed in most places in Italy. Unless you are there on a very dark and cloudy day a tripod is not needed.
Take all the photos you want there is a lot to see. I wish I took more than what I did. Enjoy yourself.
