The Hotel Clorinda Is One Of The Most Suitable
Places For A Seaside Holiday, Since There Is The
Chance To Go On Interesting Day Trips To Capri,
Pompei, Amalfi, Positano And Sorrento.
The Hotel Is About 80 Km Se From Pompei And About
100 Km Se From Naples.
Paestum Situated Very Close To The Coast, On The
Southern Stretch Of The Gulf Of Salerno, Paestum
Was Founded By The Sybarites At The Beginning Of
The Sixth Century Bc, On A Fertile, But Swampy
Plain, In The Immediate Neighbourhood Of The
River Silarus, Navigable At That Time.
Poseidonia Was The Original Greek Place Name -
Survived The Fall And Destruction Of The Homeland
In 510 Bc, Quickly Becoming One Of The
Flourishing Emporia Of The Mediterranean.
With A Circuit Of Mighty Town Walls And Animated
By Great Artistic And Cultural Fervour, It Was
First Occupied By The Lucanians *up To The Fifth
Century Bc*, Who Italianised The Place Name Into
Paistom, Then By The Romans *273 Bc*, Who Made It
A Latin Colony, Erecting Grandiose Buildings
There.
The Inhabitants Took Refuge In The Hills, In The
Place Known As Caput Aquae *nowadays Capaccio
Vecchio*, From The Name Of The Ancient Aqueduct.
To Visit The Archaeological Area Of The Town
*temple Of Neptune Or Poisedon, The Basilica, The
Forum And The National Archaeology Museum*.
Pompei A Small Town In The Province Of Naples,
Located On One Of The Slopes Of Vesuvius, Modern
Pompeii, Developed Around The Sanctuary Founded
In 1876 By Bartolo Longo, Stands Right Next To
The Ancient Settlement, Buried By The Eruption Of
Vesuvius In 79 Ad.
The Old City, Growing Out Of The Fusion Of
Various Oscan Centres, Perhaps At The End Of The
Seventh Century Bc, Received An Influx From
Neighbouring Greek Settlements, Was Later
Occupied First By The Etruscans And Then The
Samnites.
Flourishing Mercantile Centre, Pompeii Was
Destroyed By Vesuvius Just When It Was Recovering
From The Tremendous Earthquake That Had Struck It
In 62 Ad, Reducing It Almost To A Heap Of Rubble.
At The Time Of The Eruption It Spread Over About
66 Hectares And Presumably Had About 20-30,000
Inhabitants.
Covered By A Layer Of Over 5 M. Of Ash And Pumice
Stones, The City, After Centuries Of Oblivion,
Was Rediscovered At The End Of The Sixteenth
Century. The Excavations, Began In 1748 On The
Orders Of Charles Of Bourbon, And Were Conducted
Ever More Rigorously During The Nineteenth
Century, Since Then They Have Not Been
Interrupted Again.
About Three-fifths Of Its Entire Area Has Been
Unearthed, With More Than 900 Buildings
Uncovered, Nowadays Together With Herculaneum And
Stabiae It Makes Up The Most Extraordinary
Available Evidence Of Daily Life, As Well As Of
The Public And Private Buildings Of The Ancient
World.
The Majority Of The Unearthed Finds Are Displayed
In The National Archaeological Museum Of Naples.
Naples Favored By A Mild Climate And Natural
Surroundings Of Extraordinary Beauty, The
Province Of Naples, Although Not Very Extensive,
Is Notably Fractured And Complex Both From A
Geographical And Cultural Point Of View.
Spreading Out In The Form Of An Amphitheatre
Along The Coastline Of A Gulf Bearing Its Name
And Framed By The Heights Of The Campi Flegrei,
The *fiery* Fields Of The Greeks, By Vesuvius And
Mount Faito, Whose Extreme Offshoots Extend To
The Splendid And Indented Sorrento Peninsula, The
Province Of Naples Sparkles With Gem-like Places.
Among These Jewels Are The Islands Of Capri,
Ischia E Procida, The Vesuvius Area, With Its
Fascinating Slopes, The Capodimonte Hills And,
Finally, Enchanting Places With A Wealth Of
History, Such As Pompeii And Hercolaneum, Whose
Fate Was Sealed By The Eruption Of Vesuvius In 79
Ad And Sorrento, Castellammare Di Stabia,
Pozzuoli, Baia, Cuma And Nola.
Capri Opposite The Sorrento Peninsula, Only 5
Km. From Punta Campanella, Lies The Isle Of
Capri, One Of The Most Fascinating Places In The
Province Of Naples And The Whole Of Italy.
Divided Into Two Districts Of Capri And Anacapri
And With The Quaint Villages Of Marina Grande,
Around The Harbour And Marina Piccola, The Isle
Has A Prevalently Mountainous Landscape, With Two
