To see Vesuvius is a catastrophe for me, because millions, perhaps billions of people have already seen it”. This phrase by Thomas Bernhard, one of the greatest writers of any age, makes us understand how difficult it is to quote an aphorism about Naples without resorting to stereotypes.

The road that with 30 we want to travel with you, number after number, is precisely that of telling the story of Campania far from banality. Stories of men, women, places and traditions that live carved into a journey imprinted in mythology, as testified by the imposing friezes of the temples of Paestum or the stone streets of ancient Pompeii. Our experiences do not end with the great tourist destinations, but they continue to live among the mountain paths and the edges of the coast that outline the profile of Vesuvius, the Sorrento Peninsula or the Cilento, as far as the inland routes that unravel along the Irpinia, the Sannio or the Alto Casertano.

A journey to experience through the people who embody the soul of these places: we will take you to their homes, artisan shops, traditional kitchens and the ancient streets of a land that will welcome you with the taste of its history.
