A marble plaque that weeps twice a year, exceptional scuba diving among
the mosaics and temples of an ancient Roman city, a magnificent
amphitheatre full of stone spectators, forgotten pagan traditions, the
world's largest censer, a sublime secret library hidden in a monastery,
traces of the beating wings of the Archangel Michael, flagellation in a
remarkable penitential rite, pitchers from the Wedding at Cana in an
obscure sanctuary, stunning little-known frescoes ... The Campania
region, far from the crowds and clichés, has one of the richest cultural
heritages in Italy. Whether on the Amalfi Coast, at Pompeii, in the
Cilento, at Benevento, or Caserta, or just in the area around Naples,
its hidden treasures are revealed only to locals and to travellers who
know how to leave the beaten path far behind. An indispensable guide for
those who thought they knew Campania well or who would like to discover
other facets of this fascinating region.
