THE CAMPANIA CUISINE INTRODUCING CAMPANIA The Campania region, located in southern Italy, extends along the side of the Tyrrhenian Sea, from the high mountains of the Appennines to the azure Gulf of Policastro. The sweetness of the climate, the beauty of the coasts, the richness of art and history, the love for cooking make Campania a land to be experienced. Vesuvio Volcano and the Gulf of Napoli
While almost every Italian region can be proud of its snowy peaks or its crystal clear waters, not only Campania can do both, but it can vaunt about Italy’s most famous volcano: Vesuvio. Dark and mysterious, it is also thanks to it that Campania enjoys its diverse and heterogenic fauna and flora, enriching the Italian gastronomy with dozens of ingredients and recipes. Even in ancient times, the region was well known and loved. For instance, the romans, arguably one of the greatest ancient civilizations in world history, used to go here for their holidays! Roman villas in places like Pompei, Ercolano or Capri are famous worldwide and still visited today! That is why they used to call this region Campania Felix, “Lucky or happy countryside”, as it has always been a precious gem to relax and enjoy life in. This region is characterized by a rich Mediterranean vegetation in which villages rich in history, art and traditions are set, where you can spend an unforgettable stay. Music, sea, fun and nature, but also history and culture.
