Campania

Settles by the Greeks and then dominated by the Etruscans, Samnites, ans Romans, the southern region of Campania is more densely populated along the coast then island, where hills and mountains make for harsher living.  Profoundly influenced by the Normans, who conquered the region in the eleventh century, Campania later belonged to the Kingdom to the Two Sicilies, which comprised the Bourbon territory of Sicily and Naples.  Near the busy capital city of Naples, Mount Vesuvius reigns impassive and foreboding, a daily reminder of the eruption of August 24, 79A.D., when nearby cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Stabiae were covered in red-hot lava and a cloud of ashes.  But the volcanic soil arounf Mout Vesuvius has also ensured Campania fertile land where some of Italy's tastiest producce is grown, ready to be shipped and enjoyed all over the world.
