 Naples, and Campania beyond Naples.

The Neapolitan dialect is said to be the best known of the Italian language in the
world.
This comes as no surprise: music, as we know, is a universal language and
it is easy to remember the accompanying lyrics.
And Neapolitan songs are known
throughout the world.
Who has not heard or sung "O sole mio" at least once? And
yet, the diffusion of the Neapolitan dialect hides another truth: Neapolitan is
not a dialect, it is a true and proper language that expresses and transmits an
autonomous culture, formed and consolidated over the centuries.
 Naples, in
short, has a history apart. And it is for this that it is so well-known, beloved
and visited: because there is no other city like it in the world, with its
inimitable characteristics. It fascinates and conquers whoever stays therefore
even for a short time. And how could it be otherwise when confronted with the
beauty of its sea, the fascination of its history, the good humor of its
people, and the beauty of the innumerable architectural treasures of all eras
and all styles that grace the city?
A fascination and ability to enchant,
throughout the whole of Campania, the region of which
Naples is the capital: in
the splendid Neapolitan islands of
Capri,
Ischia,
Procida, on the spectacular
Amalfi coast, in the magnificent Reggia di
Caserta, in the archaeological site of Paestum (in the province of Salerno) and
so many other beautiful centers of Campania. The ancients called this land "felix"
(happiness) with good reason.
