If you’re planning your next tour to Naples and looking for information and suggestions on things to discover in a city full of energy and amazing contrasts, Ville in Italia offers a quintessential list, compiled with the help of “real Neapolitans”:
Italy’s active volcanoes are located in Sicily and Campania.
Etna, the most famous, and the biggest in Europe, is located in Sicily, in the province of Catania. It is almost constantly active, emitting lava from the central crater as well as from the numerous cracks along the slopes.
The other volcanoes are situated in the Aeolian Islands, north of the Sicilian coast, and create a regular volcanic archipelago. Lipari, the largest volcano, last erupted in Roman times around 1200 years ago. Only the 900 meters above the sea are visible of Stromboli, the volcano that has been continuously active for over 2000 years, whilst the other 1000 meters are underwater.
Despite having long been inhabited, the Amalfi Coast could only be accessed via the sea for many years. It was not until 1815 that the small towns and villages along this beautiful limestone coastline were linked by mule tracks and rock-hewn paths along the panoramic mountains.
A fine example of these paths is the Sentiero degli Dei which means the God’s Pathway or Path of the Gods. The Sentiegro degli Dei connects the hill-top town of Agerola with the town of Nocelle in the Postiano region on the slopes of Mount Peruso.
The Euganean Hills are located around 30 Km west of Padua, 60 Km from Venice and around 80 Km east of Verona. The hills, of volcanic origin with a typical conical shape, rise up unexpectedly from the flatlands of the Padovan Plain.
Italy receives very many tourists every year mainly because it’s a country steeped in history and has exacting traditions and culture. In particular, Rome, the capital of Italy, is the eternal city of the world, with its lost empires, the magnificent history, the amazing buildings and the trendy life.
As a matter of fact, there is no doubt that Rome is one of the most ancient and historic cities of Europe, if not one of the entire world. Formerly it has been the administrative capital of a world governing empire, the Roman one, and this gives it an upper hand especially when looking at tourists who are interested in learning more about world history.
