Each and every region in Italy has incredible highlights—cultural, historical, and gastronomical. Campania is no exception.   There are many reasons to love Campania, the stunningly beautiful Italian region south of Rome, framed by the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west and Neapolitan Apennines to the east, and with the fortune to have Naples as its capital city.

Other well-known landmarks include Mt. Vesuvius and the preserved Roman city of Pompeii, the ancient Greek city Paestum, the Amalfi Coast, and the island of Capri. However, some of the best reasons to love Campania are its iconic foods and dishes, and its link to the Mediterranean Diet.
