Naples
Naples (Italian: Napoli) is a city in
Italy, and capital of the Campania region and the Province
of Naples. The city itself has a population of
984,242

and is surrounded by a much larger metropolitan region (the second largest in Italy)
with a total population of approximately 4.2 million.
Naples is a very ancient city, dating back to the 7th or 6th century BC, having been originally
founded by Greeks from the nearby Greek colony of Cuma. The original name of the city was "Neapolis"
meaning "new city"! The inhabitants of Naples are still today known as
Neapolitans (Italian: Napoletani).

The Amalfi Coast is an unforgettable place for many travelers. A marvelous winding drive among the cliffs by the water's edge gives way to spectacular and romantic views that linger in one's memory. In this book, photographers have met the challenge of portraying the Amalfi Coast in ways that will surprise even the traveler with the keenest of visual recollections. Here they capture the coastline brilliantly through innovative perspectives while showing off its famous sites, remarkable for their vast natural, architectural, and artistic variety: Capri, Naples, Pompeii, and Sorrento. This is a place where the beauty of the landscape, molded by volcanoes, is wed to the glories of an illustrious past, and where the intense blue of the Tyrrhenian contrasts with the greenery and the bare rocks of the coast. Complemented by splendid photographs, the narrative in this book leads the reader on a wondrous itinerary through famous travel sites, where we happen upon hidden gems. Along with the great monuments, we discover, for example, the towns and villages of inland areas that, though off the beaten track, are rich in history, artistic treasures, stunning natural scenery, and the flavors and colors of ancient popular traditions. From coastlines to volcanoes, Roman ruins to cathedrals, and museums to festivals, these images form a stunning portrait of the Amalfi Coast-one that all who know this region will treasure. |

With its starlit isles, 24-karat resorts, and sapphire-shaded lagoons, Campania has been the crema di crema of Italian tourism ever since the Roman emperors headed here to work on their tans. Today, its siren call remains irresistible: with five of the top ten destinations in Italy for Americans---captivating Capri, whirlwind Naples, seductive Sorrento, petrified Pompeii, and perfect Positano---this region is second only to Tuscany for number of visitors per year. Covering it all, Fodor’s Naples, Capri and the Amalfi Coast is gorgeously written and “immensely useful” (to quote Conde Nast Traveler’s rave) but now ups the ante with a spectacular, new, photo-rich make-over.
Quintessential delights to be featured in unique, pictorial layouts, including “Remembrance of Things Pasta" (hey, pizza was born in Naples), "Mamma Mia, Sophia!" (on native girl Sophia Loren), and “Postcards from the Ledge" (on the Amalfi Drive, "road of a 1,001 bends")
Tantalizing 8-page color photo insert will capture Campania’s bluer-than-blue bays, glittering Baroque palaces, and skyhigh villages in all their glory
New chapter openers feature interactive maps and Planner Pages on how to make the most of traveler’s time
Plus new maps, “Voices of Italy” interviews, and an abbondanza of on-target restaurant and hotel reviews |
