The region of Campania is known for it's charming, welcoming people and delicious food. John Cabot University is taking YOU to the cities of Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri and Naples.

Pompeii, a Roman city buried and preserved by a volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, is one of the most significant proofs of Roman civilization for its display of art, customs, trades and examples of everyday life in ancient times

Sorrento, is a charming and picturesque town right on the sea. The streets and alleys are adorned with beautiful villas and plenty of shops. The colorful churches and quaint piazzas that surround the city give it an "old world" feel. You can see a monastary built by Saint Francis of Assisi and also go exploring in the harbor.

Capri is an island in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the Sorrentine Peninsula, on the south side of the Gulf of Naples. It has been a resort destination since the time of the Roman Republic. The island features the Marina Piccola (the little harbour), the Belvedere of Tragara, which is a high panoramic promenade lined with villas, limestone crags called sea stacks that project above the sea (the Faraglioni), Anacapri, the Blue Cave (Grotta Azzurra), and the ruins of the Imperial Roman villas.

Naples is the capital of the Italian region, Campania, and is the third largest city in Italy. The city is famous for its sunny climate, wealth of historic sights, hospitable population and of course pizza! This city is located in a bay right on the sea and has everything from beatiful churches to castles to a board walk.
