Campania is one of the areas of most flourishing
vegetation in Italy, helped by the almost
permanently mild climate and the beautiful
landscapes.
The sea plays a very important role in the
appearance of Campania. Along the coast you
can find numerous inlets, wide sweeping gulfs,
steep cliffs, peninsulas and some quiet bays.
The islands off the coast contrast with the
rocks and with the remarkable colours of nature.
The other appearance of Campania is created
by the mountainous areas made up of dry and
barren peaks. Here both cultivations and communications
are often rendered almost impossible by the
winter snowfalls
Climate:
The climate in the coastal areas,
the plains and the islands is prevalently mild.
Even in the mountains, despite the plentiful winter
snowfalls, the climate is also quite mild.
Comunications:
In Campania the city of Naples is
the main node for communications both by road and
by railway. The two most modern railway lines connect
Naples to Rome and then to the north of Italy, while
two other less developed lines connect Naples with
Bari and Reggio Calabria. Many secondary lines connect
the smaller and more remote towns. The largest motorway
is the A1 "Autostrada del Sole" which
comes from Rome, then continues to Naples, Salerno
before finally arriving inl Reggio Calabria. Anther
motorway crosses the Appennine Mountains and connects
Campania with Apulia. In most cases the modern roads
follow the old roman roads, like the Via Domiziana
and the Via Appia.
