Madonna visits Pompeii, donates to local kids theatre

ROME: Pop superstar Madonna spent her 66th birthday at Pompeii and donated to a local theatre project supporting at-risk kids, the archaeological site said Saturday.

The Material Girl visited the famed UNESCO site Friday night with her entourage, meeting a group of teenagers involved in “Dream of Flying”, a theatre project organised by the Pompeii museum that involves local youth in cultural presentations.

“As made known during the meeting, the artist decided to support the project... financing the entire year 2024/2025,” wrote the museum in a statement.
