This flourishing capital city of the Campania region of Italy, Naples is recognized for its richness of cultural assets-- art, music, architecture, and a history which dates back 2,800 years. In modern times, Naples was the most bombed of all cities in Italy during World War II. The culture of Naples is imbued with music, and the romantic guitar and mandolin were created here. The delectable ‘Pizza,’ which we enjoy, originated from this very place. The historic center of Naples exhibits a unique collection of architectural designs, and has been named by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Some of the most breath-taking scenery in the world can be experienced around the Gulf of Naples.
