AVION TOURISM MAGAZINE #12 Summary

There is a place, in the heart of the Mediterranean, where time seems to have left indelible imprints. It is Campania, a land of light and contrasts, of millenary vestiges and traditions that are still alive, guardian of a World Heritage Site that UNESCO has recognized as a heritage of the whole of humanity. In this special issue, Avion Tourism Magazine accompanies you to discover the World Heritage Sites in Campania, an itinerary of wonders that crosses millennia of history, art and identity.

From the extraordinarily preserved ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, poignant testimonies of the everyday life of ancient Rome, to the grandeur of the Royal Palace of Caserta, passing through the centuries-old charm of the Historic Center of Naples - one of the largest in Europe - each site tells an unrepeatable chapter in the cultural history of the Italian South. Places that not only resist time, but that continue to live in the memory and imagination of those who visit them.

Visiting a UNESCO site in Campania does not only mean "seeing" monuments. It means immersing oneself in unique contexts where architecture dialogues with the landscape, where each stone tells a legacy made up of knowledge, spirituality and traditions recognized as Intangible Heritage. Such as, for example, walking along the terraces of the Amalfi Coast where the "art of dry stone walls" has shaped the landscape for centuries, or even savoring the ritual of the "Neapolitan pizzaiuolo", celebrated at the table but rooted in an ancient knowledge handed down from generation to generation.

Campania, in fact, is also a land of rituals and celebrations that become a spectacle and collective identity, such as the Festa dei Gigli di Nola - Intangible Heritage part of the Network of Large Shoulder Machines - or the practices of transhumance and the Mediterranean diet, recognized as living examples of harmony between man and nature.

In these pages you will find itineraries, travel ideas, curiosities and practical advice to reach the World Heritage sites comfortably by plane, thanks to the airports of Naples and Salerno, served by the main international and low-cost airlines. Each site is accompanied by suggestions for thematic tours, authentic experiences and excursion proposals designed for curious travelers, art enthusiasts, families or simple explorers of the soul.

Whatever the season, Campania welcomes with its generous beauty: whether it's the spring breeze between the temples of Paestum or the autumn sun caressing the baroque domes of Naples, every visit is a return to the roots of Mediterranean culture. In Campania, each World Heritage site is an invitation to travel in wonder.
