One of them at least. I appreciate all your comments about Campanian and southern wines in general. I wish I had more time to write a lengthy post, even a disquisition on why I'm so high on Campania and, less loftily, the Mezzogiorno in general. Some of you pointed out that Campania is an ecological disaster. Certainly in the provinces of Napoli and Caserta there are large areas...

Jump to the full entry & travel map Pompei, Campania, Italy Pompeii-how does an entire city and ruins go "missing" for so long and become forgotten? It was once a massive trade capital on the sea, and then yea, it gets fully buried by Mt. Vesuvius, but wouldn't you think that there would be records or word of mouth, "tomb" raiders, or something!
