With its rich and unique archaeological collections, this is one of the most ancient and important museums in the world. Its creation is closely tied to the figure of Charles III of the Bourbon dynasty who ascended to the throne of Naples in 1734. He promoted on the one hand the excavations of the Roman towns buried by the eruption of 79 AD and on the other the project of setting up a Museo Farnesiano, moving to Naples part of the rich collection he had inherited through his mother Elisabeth Farnese. It was his son Ferdinand IV who chose the current building to house both the Farnese collection and the relics from the Vesuvian towns, which are still today the Museum’s core collections. The palace, erected as royal cavalry barracks at the end of the 16th century, became the seat of the University of Naples from 1616 to 1777, when it was enlarged and refurbished by the architects Fuga and Schiantarelli. The first galleries were set up during the French Decade (1806-1815) and with the Restoration of the Bourbons in 1816, it became the Real Museo Borbonico. Initially conceived as an encyclopedic museum, it included different Institutes and laboratories (Royal Library, Drawing Academy, Officina dei Papiri and an astronomical Observatory never to be completed), which were all moved to other locations at different times. After the unification of Italy in 1860, it became the National Museum. Its collections were gradually expanded through the acquisition of finds from excavations in Campania and Southern Italy, as well as from private collections. The transfer of all the paintings to the Museum of Capodimonte in 1957, determined its sole identity of Archaeological Museum.

The excavations of Ercolano are less famous than the ones of Pompeii but they actually complete them. The excavations of the two ancient Roman towns show two contemporary realities but they also show their differences. This is why it is interesting having a visit to both places. Pompeii has been almost completely unearthed and it is possible to understand how a town during the reign ofexcavations of ErcolanoTiberius lived. The ancient Ercolano, instead, has not been completely unearthed because on its territory there is the modern town, so many ancient important buildings are missing. But many details are better preserved. Ercolano was covered by a hot “cloud” whose temperature was higher than 100°. This cloud brought also liquefied fragments of rocks. When they got cold, these powders became like a mud that was able to penetrate any spaces and any gaps. In this way, they protected the materials that were burnt but not destroyed. This is why objects were so well preserved. For example, there is a “grocery” shop that still preserves the shelves with the amphorae (they were the most common containers of the period).
excavations of ErcolanoIn the so-called ‘Villa dei Papiri’ a library was found. Books (contained in papyruses) were burnt but using the right techniques they could be unrolled and read, thus giving us an inestimable patrimony of knowledge about that age.excavations of Ercolano
In Ercolano understanding actions and habits of our ancestors is easy and it is especially easy to imagine the moments of everyday life and to discover that world was not so different. Visiting these excavations means having the possibility to know a lot about our past and to feel special sensations thanks to the objects, houses, and so on, that are so well preserved.
We recommend to wear comfortable shoes, ancient Roman roads are not very smooth. In sunny days it is advisable wearing a hat and during the summer it is better to use special protective creams.

The archaeological site of Pompeii spreads over 66 hectares, 49 of which have already been excavated. In 1858, director of the excavations Giuseppe Fiorelli had the idea of dividing the city into regions, or neighborhoods, and insulae, or blocks. The names of the houses were coined by the archaeologists over the centuries, under various criteria.
From the early 20th Century, the excavations moved eastwards along the ancient town's principal streets, and more attention was paid to buildings' upper-floor remains. From 1924 to 1961, the excavations were supervised by Amedeo Maiuri, who oversaw a period of intense activity that included the discovery of prestigious buildings, such as the Villa of Mysteries; the complete recognition of the ancient town's perimeter; the excavation of most of Regions I and II and the necropolis of Porta Nocera; and the initiation of a methodical exploration of the layers below the 79 A.D. level, in order to bring to light the past of ancient Pompeii.
In recent years, excavations have been scaled down so as to concentrate the limited resources available (not sufficient even to fulfill this goal) on restoring and maintaining the buildings which have already been exposed.

The Sansevero Chapel, the temple of Prince Raimondo di Sangro
The San Severo Chapel in Naples is a fascinating and full of mystery monument. Famous throughout the world for being the custodian of one of the most surprising works representing the veiled Christ.
The Chapel of San Severo it is the most visited by Italian and foreign tourists who want to breathe personally the air of mystery that reigns around the sculpture. A monument not to be missed and known in every detail.
Those who live and live every day in Naples or all those who spend even a few hours from this splendid city cannot avoid visiting the San Severo Chapel, one of the 10 most interesting places to see absolutely.
According to legend, the veil of marble that can be seen on the body of Christ, it consists of a veil of real fabric which has undergone a transformation into rock (marbling) thanks to the application of a substance created by the Prince of San Severo, a famous alchemist.
In reality the veil effect is due to the great artistic talent of Giuseppe Sanmartino that is the author of the sculpture and the legend has been dispelled by analyzes carried out on purpose.
The halo of mystery is strong even on some works with a somewhat macabre appearance hidden in secret rooms that can now be seen in the San Severo Chapel: anatomical machines. These findings have increased the mysterious nature of the Prince and the veiled Christ.
However, the place is not only important due to the presence of the incredible statue of the veiled Christ and of its magic, there are indeed other reasons why this must absolutely fall within the things to visit in Naples.
First of all the Chapel is a veritable treasure chest, a place full of esoteric and religious symbolism that we try to help you discover in this guide. Its location hidden among the ancient alleys of Naples makes it even more suggestive and engaging, so we try to snatch its secrets and discover the right way to visit a place rich in history like the Chapel of San Severo in Naples.

This wonderful villa, which rests on a layer of rock attached to the coast in the middle of the blue sea, is also known under the name of I Bagni della Regina Giovanna; luxurious residence of the Roman aristocracy, built in the 1st century AD on the head of Sorrento. The villa of Pollio Felice is mainly divided into two specific areas: the residential districts on the top of the hill and the seaside district, located around a natural landing used as a small port where the ships that arrived there docked.
Both areas are connected by tunnels and stairs. For tourists, getting to the villa of Pollio Felice is truly suggestive: from the small square of Capo di Sorrento, a small town located about 96 m, you have to walk a small road framed by a huge cliff that overlooks a wonderful natural arch that descends towards the sea and which leads directly to the ruins of the famous maritime villa, known to the people with the name of I Bagni della Regina Giovanna.

Caletta Bagni della Regina Giovanna
This site steeped in history, legend and natural beauty was in fact the favorite of the sovereign of Naples, Queen Giovanna II D'Angiò, who went here between 1371 and 1435, to enjoy the splendid natural paradise of sea and sun, accompanied frequently by his young lovers. In this magical place the Queen used to entertain herself bathing in the invigorating waters in sweet company: hence the name Bagni della Regina Giovanna.
The villa of Pollio Felice immersed in the fields, especially the impervious cliff, is one of the places most visited by bathers, and the jagged conformation of the coast makes it peculiar and unique in its kind.
The residential part of the villa consisted of various buildings located on terraces sloping down to the sea, connected by the cisterns for water supply: the cistern that sells in better conditions is the one upstream of the domus with 10 concamerations covered with barrel vaults.

The name Ieranto derives from the Greek "Ieros", or "sacred": nearby, on Campanella point, there was once a sanctuary dedicated to the pagan goddess Athena and it is here that Homer set the Sirens attempt to seduce Ulysses.
Today, you can still sense the mystical spirit of the place, as you walk across the waves of rocks, greeted by a succession of spectacular visions of an incredibly blue sea.
The path to the Bay of Ieranto commences in the tiny little fishing village of Nerano, a fraction of Massa Lubrense. The Sita coach company operates a regular bus service to Nerano, departing from Sorrento train station.
From the square in Nerano, start walking down the main street and, after just a few meters, to your right, youll come across the footpath.
The path proceeds over flat ground for circa one kilometer, past the Villa Rosa, where the writer Norman Douglas once resided. From this point on, the olive trees are far and few between, making way for lush, Mediterranean scrub.
A downhill stretch between low dry stone walls, brings visitors to a spectacular vision of the sea; the island of Capri; Punta Campanella; the islets of Li Galli and the unmistakable shoreline of the Amalfi Coast.

Sorrento is the ideal starting point to visit the most beautiful places in Campania. I am at your disposal to suggest the best way to explore the amenities of this area. Transfers, boat trips, sharing or private, tour by van to go anywhere, wine and limoncello tasting tour and horseback riding on Vesuvius. Exclusive services with the best companies in English. Don't exitate to ask me.
WONDERFUL VAN TOUR.
The Amalfi Coast means sea, or the scent of lemons that intrigue the warm air of a summer afternoon. Rides through the lanes of a rowdy city, the voices of the market, an ice cream in the square and a dip in the salt water of the Tyrrhenian Sea, under the sun that only hits so strongly in Campania.
Everyone envies us, the Amalfi Coast, and everyone sooner or later in life has passed through here, or had to do with the beautiful Gulf of Salerno. The Amalfi Coast is a siren call: sunny beaches, secret coves and citrus gardens.
Let's start with Positano, named after Poseidon God of the sea. splendid city known all over the world for its incredible beauty and profile, like a mermaid lying on a breathtaking stretch of coast.
19 kilometers south of Positano you reach another pearl of the Amalfi Coast: the beautiful Praiano. The proximity from Positano makes it a perfect destination for shopping enthusiasts.
Furore - third stage of our road trip on the Amalfi Coast - there is the only fjord that you can admire in Italy. In the stretch where the sea meets the mountain, a small bay is formed that welcomes fishermen upon returning from their daily fishing trip and gives magical moments to tourists.Amalfi is said to take its name from that of the woman loved by Hercules and that, on the shores of this enchanting city, he buried her to cradle her with the Tyrrhenian waters forever.

WONDERFUL VAN TOUR.
The Amalfi Coast means sea, or the scent of lemons that intrigue the warm air of a summer afternoon. Rides through the lanes of a rowdy city, the voices of the market, an ice cream in the square and a dip in the salt water of the Tyrrhenian Sea, under the sun that only hits so strongly in Campania.
Everyone envies us, the Amalfi Coast, and everyone sooner or later in life has passed through here, or had to do with the beautiful Gulf of Salerno. The Amalfi Coast is a siren call: sunny beaches, secret coves and citrus gardens.
Let's start with Positano, named after Poseidon God of the sea. splendid city known all over the world for its incredible beauty and profile, like a mermaid lying on a breathtaking stretch of coast.
19 kilometers south of Positano you reach another pearl of the Amalfi Coast: the beautiful Praiano. The proximity from Positano makes it a perfect destination for shopping enthusiasts.
Furore - third stage of our road trip on the Amalfi Coast - there is the only fjord that you can admire in Italy. In the stretch where the sea meets the mountain, a small bay is formed that welcomes fishermen upon returning from their daily fishing trip and gives magical moments to tourists.Amalfi is said to take its name from that of the woman loved by Hercules and that, on the shores of this enchanting city, he buried her to cradle her with the Tyrrhenian waters forever. From the Cathedral, to the paper museum (the Amalfi Charter , or Bambagina paper, is a very special type), from Vallone delle Ferriere to shopping in the shops in the center, you will be spoiled for choice.

BY FAST BOAT FROM SORRENTO MARINA PICCOLA PORT.
An island that offers a landscape of wild beauty sculpted by wind, sea and the hand of man, this is Capri.
Don t exitate to ask me about a tour boat full day (private o sharing);
or a tour guide full day on the island with a guide from Sorrento and taxi driver on the island; or only a private tour boat around the island 2/3h.
With a precipitous, jagged coast, and encircled by the famous faraglioni (sea stacks), enormous and uniquely-shaped boulders, and by numerous caves that tell of evocative plays of light.
The most famous of these caves is the Grotta Azzurra (Blue Grotto), closely connected to the history of tourism in Capri. The island continues to be both a legend and a favorite destination for travelers, intellectuals and the international jet-set - "performing" at any given time in the legendary piazzetta, the real-time theatre of the island's 'Dolce Vita'. CapriCapri is a gem radiating a brilliant history through all its different facets.
Its innumerable points of interest allure visitors with their tales of an enchanted past. Its discovery by the ancient Romans is hinted at by countless archaeological finds - e.g. Villa Jovis, whose construction was commissioned by the Emperor Tiberius.
The Certosa (Basilica) di San Giacomo is an obligatory stop; today it houses a museum exposing two statues that were recovered from the deep Grotta Azzurra.
In Anacapri, the characteristic Casa Rossa (Red House) is a striking piece of work within a gorgeous and colorful landscape: inside is the L'Isola Dipinta ("The Painted Island"), a permanent exposition of images illustrating the island's history and traditions.
Beyond the cultural attractions and sea and nature in all their charm, Capri also offers good shopping: tasteful boutiques and artisans' studios selling “Made in Italy” items and typical products alternate along the characteristic sidestreets and alleyways.
Moreover, the exuberantly-flavored local food is tied to the island's maritime and peasant traditions.

The Path of the Gods (or Sentiero degli Dei in Italian) is a clifftop trail above the Amalfi Coast. The main section of the hike is 6.5 km (4 miles) between the small villages of Bomerano (in Agerola) and Nocelle (above Positano). There are beautiful views of the sea and coastal towns below along the way.
Both these villages are above the sea, so there isn’t a huge change of elevation between them. The hike is of moderate difficulty. If you are an experienced hiker you’ll find it easy and if you are reasonably fit you’ll be fine.
The hike becomes more difficult if you start or finish at the coastal towns of Praiano (below Bomerano) or Positano (below Nocelle). These towns are connected to the trail by steep staircases of over 1500 steps. You can avoid these sections (as we did) and I share transport tips below.
I can suggest an excellent professional guide in sharing group up 15 pax, from Tasso Square. Don't exitate to ask me! :)

Vesuvio National Park, of great geological and historical interest, has been established in order to safeguard the values of the territory, use suitable means to allow a correct integration between man and environment, promote environmental education and scientific research activities. The Park was also born from the need to defend the most famous volcano in the world: Vesuvius, a typical example of fence volcano consisting of an external truncated cone, the extinct Mt. Somma, with a crateric perimeter which has been mainly destroyed and in which there is a smaller cone represented by Vesuvius, which is still active. The territory, rich in historical-naturalistic beauties, boasts of a unique agricultural production for the great variety and originality of its tastes.
You can end the day with a wine tasting tour in one of the oldest farm close to it. Top quality of genuine food and wine from the different quality of local grapes.

Typical Shopping
STARTING FROM TASSO SQUARE - SORRENTO.
An old main decumanus, in the past this was the main street in the town. It is not by chance that there were the homes of the most important noble families from Sorrento. Today many interesting portals remain of them.
Few people know, while in walking along the streets of the old town centre of Sorrento, that the present main street (Corso Italia), until few years ago, was known as “via nuova” (new street”).
What not to love in this narrow street full of shops with a density to compete with San Gregorio Armeno but above all close between ancient noble buildings, with undulating balconies and scruffy facades, with garden courtyards that can be seen from the narrow doors between signs and stalls. A show for the senses far more than the elegant parallel Corso Italia, and a gym for shopping more often than luxury than high-rise, but with possibilities (craft and gastronomic species) for all budgets. The quantity of "Sorrento" shops (and ice cream parlors) is to turn pale, and in a few meters you have to choose. Just don't forget the buildings, and the facades, and the Dominanova Seat and the magnificent occasional views.

Better known as ‘the shepherds’ street‘, S.Gregorio Armeno is a long road in the historic centre that vertically links the two decumans that once were the two main roads of the old Greek town: Tribunali’s Street and S. Biagio dei Librai’s Street. In it (and not only during the Christmas time) it is possible to keep in touch with the traditional Nativity’s art, typical of this city, and also with parodies of famous characters from both past and present. But when did this Christmas Nativity tradition take place? If we want to trace a little history about it, we must think that it first came up during the XIII century, when S.Francesco used to create a representation of the Nativity with some small statues. In Naples, it became famous around the XVII century, thanks to some aristocratics who started to create some personal representations of the Nativity itself, not only for religious reasons, but also as source of pride: as a matter of fact, all the best artists and artisans were get involved with the aim of realizing the most scenic Native scene ever. This way the Nativity became something much more artistic, influenced by the Baroque style of that time and many streets of the historic center became places of exposition for all these artists, making S. Gregorio Armeno’s Street the symbol of the Neapolitan Nativity this way.

Food scene
Neapolitan cuisine has its origins in the various dominations that have populated the city for about 2000 years. Since the times of the Greeks and Romans, passing through the French and Spanish dominations, the Neapolitan cuisine has been enriched with dishes ranging from the most elaborate to the most popular. Wouldn't you like to spend the day between a pizza, a cuoppo, a rice sartù or a nice ragù, all seasoned with a sweet delicacy like a sfogliatella or a slice of pastiera with Vesuvius and the sea that surround you? You are in the right place!
IF you want to discover some secrets of our food, fun cooking classes await you and you can cook at home like a real Neapolitan!
Located 700 mt far from the apt, on the main street, the restaurant LA FAVORITA- O PARRUCHIANO, was one of the nicest restaurants you have seen! it is huge, with seats both inside, where it seems to be inside a huge greenhouse, and outside, in the middle of the garden! Here all the classics of the Sorrento tradition are served, but this time I have taken scallops with cheese and cherry tomatoes and a side dish of escarole with pine nuts and raisins! divine! Excellent fast and accurate service!

Given that I am a "serial" consumer of ice cream that I look for in every city and I consume in every season.
In Sorrento you can taste a good ice cream everywhere, but Raki has really managed to impress me, and i m sure, will you, too.
The location in the most touristic and crowded street of Sorrento could have presaged a cheap product and instead you will be impressed by an absolutely exceptional quality of the product and by the refinement of some combinations of taste (like orange cream).
For ice cream lovers who are in Sorrento it is in my opinion an indispensable and easy to reach stop as it is located in the center.
The courteous staff is then the icing on the cake, indeed, the cream on the cone!
