About
Calitri
 |
With
Naples as its capital, Campania is home the world-renowned
Amalfi Coast, the ancient tragic city of Pompeii, and
the romantic Isle of Capri. It is also the birthplace
of the pizza, spaghetti, and buffalo mozzarella.
Along
the coast one of Europe's scariest road, will take you
to Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, Ravello and Vietri..
Or you can take the easy way out and travel there by
ferry or hydrofoil, from the same docks that take you
to Capri, the spa island of Ischia, and Procida, where
the locals go for their holidays. |
Few foreigners make it south of Salerno, but those who do
can treat themselves to a classic Italian beach vacation:
along the cape called Palinuro the water is cleaner and the
beaches far nicer than anything on the Amalfi Coast. You can
even take in some world-class culture by visiting Paestum
to see the oldest, best-preserved and most beautiful Doric
temple in existence today. And if it's really the authentic
Italy you're after, just head inland to the provinces of Avellino
and Benevento, abandoned a century ago by so many who would
go on to become Americans. Park your car in any village at
all and you will receive a warm welcome. No matter what kind
of blood runs in your veins, you are likely to be invited
in for a sip of homemade wine and a look at the family album,
including shots of faraway relatives in Buffalo or Melbourne.
Amphitheaters,
triumphal arches, villas, bridges and tombs of the Roman Imperial
Age are numerous and remarkable. The Paleolithic art is present
in Naples and Nocera, while architectural specimens of the
Longobard Age can be found in Capua and Benevento. Cathedrals
in the Byzantine and Arab-Norman styles are numerous and outstanding.
The Royal Palace of Caserta is the most striking expression
of Baroque.
| The
region faces the Tyrrhenian Sea and includes one of the
finest coastlines in Italy. The hinterland is essentially
mountainous, with irregular massifs broken here and there
by valleys and plains. In front of the Gulfs of Naples
and Salerno, we can admire marvelous and enchanting islands:
Capri, Ischia, Procida. |
