POMPEII

A once-thriving commercial port of 20,000, Pompeii grew from Greek and Etruscan roots to become an important Roman city. Then, on August 24, A.D. 79, everything changed. Vesuvius erupted and began to bury the city under 30 feet of hot volcanic ash. For the archaeologists who excavated it centuries later, this was a shake-and-bake windfall, teaching them volumes about daily Roman life.

 

VESUVIUS

The 4,000-foot-high Vesuvius, mainland Europe’s only active volcano, has been sleeping restlessly since 1944. While Europe has other dangerous volcanoes, only Vesuvius sits in the middle of a three-million-person metropolitan area. Walk up till the top and enjoy spectacular panorama from its crater – a breathtaking panorama that takes in sprawling city, sparkling islands, and the Monti Picentini, part of the Apennine mountains.

 

WINE TASTING

Either you go, Vesuvius slopes with a sunburnt ground fertilized with periodical lava flows from Vesuvio, and a wine with legendary origins, Lacryma Christi ( tears of Christ), or hills above Amalfi coast, covered with centennial vineyards of tintore, aglianico e piedirosso to produce red drop and falanghina, biancolella , ginestra and pepella to produce  white drop.You'll find plenty of vinery with a story of passionate wine-making with unique characteristics.
