Campania

The bay of Naples on a clear November morning, the islands floating in the distance and Vesuvius with a thread of white cloud at its summit, is one of the most beautiful views in Europe — and Campania as a whole is a region that delivers that quality of visual intensity in combination with a food culture of astonishing range and rigour. The pizza of Naples is the obvious entry point; what sustains is the sfogliatella, the zuppa di cozze, the ragù that has been on the heat since before breakfast, the mozzarella di bufala eaten an hour after it was made in a masseria near Paestum.Our Campania coverage takes the region seriously: the coast and the cities, the ancient Greek ruins, the islands, and the food that has fed this landscape for three thousand years.
