Campania Snippets of Articles Relating to PositanoItaly > Campania > Salerno The main town of the "Costiera Amalfitana" (the part of coast on the Tyrrhenian sea which includes famous towns like Amalfi, Positano, etc.), it is mostly known in history for having hosted the king of Italy, who escaped from Rome in 1943 after Italy negotiated a peace with the Allies in World War II. A brief so-called "government of the South" was then established in the town. Some of the Allied landings during Operation Avalanche (the invasion of Italy) occurred near Salerno. Italy > Campania One cannot envision Campania without thinking of Capri, Italy’s most glamorous seaside town. For centuries, the cliffs and hillsides here have been home to some of the most luxurious seaside villas in all of Italy. Appreciated by Roman emperors and tourists alike, the landscapes here are break taking. The famous Faraglioni that emerge from the staggering coastline have been revered and has become Capri’s signature to the world. Italy > Campania > Naples The islands of Procida, famously used as the set for much of il Postino, Capri and Ischia can all be reached quickly by Aliscafi (twin-hulled ferries). Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast are situated south of Naples. The Roman ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum (destroyed in the A.D. 79 eruption of Vesuvius) are also nearby. | |
