Campania: a true 'open-air' Destination

NAPOLI

Main event Destination

Neapolitan, in the sense both of people born and living here but also as a spoken language, is widely claimed to be full of rich and spontaneous gestural expressiveness. Hands are the protagonists to show, accompany and enrich creative and artistic thought. Centuries of art expressed by the genius of painters, sculptors and court’s architects are preserved for the pleasure of the eyes in a rich itinerary of museums criss-crossing the city. From the MANN to the Reggia of Capodimonte, from the Royal Chapel of the Treasure of St. Januarius in the Cathedral to the Madre-Museum of Contemporary Art. In the heart of the historic centre, in San Gregorio Armeno, families of artisans have been setting up beautiful handmade nativity scenes for generations. Queen of the table is “la pizza”, an expression of the neapolitan art – designated as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by Unesco – of putting ‘your hands in the dough’.

SORRENTO

Post-tour Destination

Romantic panoramas with the white of the houses and the green of the Mediterranean maquis shrubland mirroring in the sea; a smiling attitude consolidated by decades of experience sign of ultimate hospitality of the local communities; a gastronomic tradition that is a palette of Mediterranean flavours. This is the Sorrento Peninsula, a necklace of 7 pearls: Vico Equense, Nerano, Massa Lubrense, Sant’Agata sui due Golfi, Sant’Agnello, Meta and Piano. Sorrento is the capital, the birthplace of the poet Torquato Tasso, and the “salon” of the Peninsula, with its historic centre full of artisan’s workshops; the protagonist of many classic songs, such as the celebrated “Torna a Surriento”, that strengthens beyond any doubt a tradition of international hospitality.

PAESTUM - SALERNO

Post-tour Destinations

The visitor feels the miraculous after being affected by the energy of the formidable colonnades that protect the sacred spaces of Paestum, not by chance one of the most narrated stops by intellectuals of the Grand Tour in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is the gateway to the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park, a unique archaeological area recognised by Unesco as a World Heritage Site. Archaeological finds of extraordinary interest are the painted tombstones, the most famous one being the Tomb of the Diver, created some time around 480 B.C.E. Discovered in 1968, it contains the only example of Greek wall painting from the Orientalizing, Archaic, or Classical period to survive in its entirety.

Salerno, ancient yet contemporary, after a careful urban reconstruction in recent years, is increasingly becoming an attractive center full of cultural stimuli. Historically a center of trade, it retains this vocation, as witnessed by the famous Via dei Mercanti, an elegant shopping street that runs through the historic center. The image of contemporary Salerno is entrusted to the iconic Maritime Station designed by the world-renowned “archistar” Zaha Hadid that opens onto Piazza della Libertà, among the largest in Europe
