Naples, with its million inhabitants, is the third biggest city in Italy. Its position is spectacular – with the celebrated view over the gulf of Naples and the extraordinary islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida. The city is overlooked by Vesuvius, a vast volcano which erupted violently in 79 BC covering the cities of Pompei and Ercolano. Today, these cities, now excavated, bear witness to the splendours of the Roman Empire. Vesuvio’s last eruption was in 1944.
