Campania
Discovering the “campania felix”

Here at last, a photographic journey that justifies the term "Campania Felix" as the ancient Romans called the region around Capua, the modern Campania. Felix because the region is rich but also spacious, open, and fruitful, too. Since then, centuries have passed, but this work clearly shows the happy side of this land. Naples, Ischia and the Sorrento peninsula are the major attractions, but following the coast and venturing inland reveals a succesion of pleasant surprises. Besides the well-known archaeological site of Paestum, there are many little villages, often overlooked by castles, there are fortresses, churches and shrines. We also show you traditional crafts and not least, the culinary specialities.
