Pompei
Pompei contains two different worlds: the remains of one of the richest towns of Roman Empire and the Christian spirituality that attracts every year many pilgrims to the Sanctuary dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary. Pagan and Christian worlds coexist at a very short distance: they are however very different in ideals and aspirations.

The Cilento Coast
From Paestum to Sapri, hundreds of kilometers of beaches, small creeks, secret caves. This is the Cilento Coast, one of the most beautiful and unpolluted coastal area of Italy. Small towns on mountain tops and gentle hills make this scenery unique. From the natural reserve of Punta Licosa, with its pine trees that seem to be diving in the sea, to the Natural Arch of Palinuro a natural monument carved from Mother Nature. A few steps away from the sea the ancient Saracene Towers and the archaeological site of Velia. The coastal towns, as well as the ones in the inland, host many shows and village feasts during the summer period where you can taste Cilento’s typical products

Ischia and Procida
The Phlegrean Fields stretch towards the sea, and the islands of Procida and Ischia are a demonstration of this. Procida gently rises from the sea, while Ischia reaches 787 meters in height with Monte Epomeo. The islands are very different, but have in common the vulcanic nature and the richness of the sea that embraces them. Procida is more misterious and frequented by niche tourism, not exclusively in the summer time. Ischia is larger and caotic, made of six little towns and able to satisfy different touristic demands: from trekking paths to scuba diving, from accomodations in the farms to night clubs on the sea. Procida has inspired many writers and has been the chosen spot for films such as “Il Postino”, Massimo Troisi’s last production.

The Vesuvius
