Discovering the Campania Region

The capital of the region is Naples (Napoli), a city bursting with life, baroque art, and the birthplace of the authentic Neapolitan pizza.

Culture and Heritage

Campania is home to some of the most significant archaeological sites in the world, most notably Pompeii and Herculaneum, ancient Roman cities preserved in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The region also boasts the glamorous Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its colorful cliffside villages like Positano and Amalfi.

The region's gastronomy is legendary. Beyond pizza, Campania is famous for its Buffalo Mozzarella (Mozzarella di Bufala Campana), sun-ripened San Marzano tomatoes, and the sweet Limoncello produced from the giant lemons of Sorrento.
