Breath art, in all its forms

Art and Italy are inseparable. Naples has a vibrant artistic life, after all, it is home to works of art by Caravaggio, Titian, and Breughel. Modern art came and enriched this, as can be seen in the art installations decorating Naples Metro stations, which are today considered a true museum the size of a city. Ancient and modern, old and new, coexist harmoniously, offering visitors a unique cultural experience.
Take the chance to stay a few more days and drive down the Amalfi Coast, which UNESCO has named a World Heritage Site. Before that, though, stop to witness the grandeur of Vesuvius, the famous volcano that just now lies dormant, but which in 79BC destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. 

Discover the birthplace of pizza and melt with the region’s cuisine

Naples is famous for having invented pizza, which is perhaps the most consumed delicacy in the world. If you come to this city and don’t eat “real pizza”, then you can’t say you know Naples. But there is more. The entire region has a rich cuisine dating from the Greco-Roman period, and which is full of local produce, from vegetables to fish and seafood. Try the timballo and sartù di riso, without forgetting the Italian pasta that the best seafood enriches so magnificently.
