I stayed in Cerro Gordo before it was sold. There was a caretaker who let us crash in the bunkhouse for a small donation. This was in early spring, with snow on the ground and temps of -15C/5F. We eventually ran out of firewood at 1am,

Too bad the art isn't very much on display in this article. A great book on the topic is 'Eros in Pompeii', which depicts the Erotic Art collection of the Naples Museum [0]. In it is a picture of a statue named 'stupidus
