Campania is certainly one of the most beautiful Italian regions, with the atypical Naples and enchanting places like Pompeii, Capri, the Amalfi Coast and many others.
Naples was founded by the Greeks a long time before Rome. Its history has remained turbulent, under foreign domination for many centuries, so that the Neapolitans have over time learned to free themselves from the authority to self-manage. This explains many aspects of how people live – or survive – even today.
In short, the city and its region can be described as “contrasts” and “diversity”, such as the fascinating churches of Naples with regard to the anarchy of its Spanish District and its chaotic appearance. The threatening Vesuvius and the immortal Pompeii. The Greek sanctuaries of Paestum; The garden island of Capri; the Amalfi Coast; Herculaneum, etc.
