Satellites, sensors recruited to rescue enigmatic ruins of Pompeii from total ruin

The ruins of ancient Pompeii will be monitored by satellites and sensors in an attempt to stop the UNESCO world heritage site from total ruin.

Finmeccanica, a state-controlled tech group, will help train staff and donate its technology for free for three years in an investment worth up to 2mil euros (RM9mil), after which the equipment will be left to the restoration project.
