Naples and the Campania Region

It is hard to begin to describe the extraordinary, chaotic, exciting and resolutely southern city of Naples - it is totally distinct from the rest of Italy. Staunchly Catholic, Naples is rich in historical, artistic and cultural traditions, and has its own distinct cuisine. Pizza, the iconic Italian dish, originated here, and it is eaten, like so many other local foods, out on the street. Neapolitan is a language in its own right and you’ll hear the dialect everywhere at full volume. Naples has some beautiful architecture, a thriving port area, and fantastic restaurants and bars serving fresh food.
