Mount Vesuvius seen from Vico Equense

The Campania is a region in southern Italy whose heritage is very rich and varied. Naples is the capital of the region, historically the capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Like the region itself, it does not leave people indifferent with its “chaotic richness” and the warmth of its inhabitants, who can charm or repel some people.

Thus, the Amalfi Coast is perhaps the most beautiful in the Mediterranean, with its historic villages built on hillsides plunging toward the sea, its cliffs, its lush vegetation. The island of Capri is an enchanting garden island.

Ancient sites are plentiful: Pompeii and Herculaneum, buried under the ashes of Vesuvius, are unique testimonies of ancient Rome. The Greek temples of Paestum are very well preserved and impressive.
The Arch of Trajan in Benevento is one of the best preserved of its kind.
