Italy - Campania

CAMPANIA - COSTA AMALFITANA AND COSTA CILENTANA

Campania is considered by many of the cognoscenti to be the true beginning of Italy's south or, as it is called by the locals, the Mezzogiorno: its coast starts north of Naples, embraces the Bay of Naples, the Costa Amalfitania, and the Costa Cilentana on the Salerno Bay, and ends further south near Ascea.

The province is presided over by Naples and it has a truly fascinating past: colonists from Rhodes – attracted by its beauty and climate – established a settlement on the west aspect of Mount Vesuvius around 1000 BC; Phoenician traders and the Greeks expanded the town and christened it Neapolis; during the time of the Roman empire, it was a favourite city of many of the emperors.

Then, after successive invasions, it remained independent for over 400 years until it was captured by the Normans in 1139: after changing hands a number of times, it became part of Spain as capital of the Kingdom of Two Sicilys in the year of 1503; finally, after a Napoléonic interlude, it was formally integrated into Italy.

Apart from its international airport, the unsettling ruins at Pompeii and its big reputation as the birthplace of pizza, Naples is raucous city of little interest: it is only a little way further south that the coastline becomes magnificent: Sorrento with its faded pink, blue, and ochre walls and the enchanting island of Capri, at the very end of the Gulf of Naples, are just a hint of many glorious sights to come.
