POMPEII, Italy (AP) — Actor Jackie Chan carried the Olympic torch through the ruins of Pompeii during the relay for the Milan Cortina Winter Games on Monday.
The day’s route also passed along the picturesque Amalfi Coast.
On Tuesday, Italian soccer standouts Fabio Cannavaro and Ciro Ferrara will carry the torch through their native Naples, where the relay will pause for Christmas.
In all, the relay will cover 12,000 kilometers (nearly 7,500 miles) and wind its way through all 110 Italian provinces before reaching Milan’s San Siro Stadium for the opening ceremony on Feb. 6.
An ancient Roman city, Pompeii was buried by ash and lava when Mount Vesuvius erupted in A.D. 79.
