<< South Italy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campania is a region of Italy, located in the south of the country between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apennines, bordering Lazio<\/a>, Molise<\/a>, Apulia<\/a>, and Basilicata<\/a>. The region has been inhabited since prehistoric times, and hosted Italic peoples like the Samnites, the Osci, and the Etruscans, while the Greeks colonized the coastal areas. The region was later taken by the Romans, and flourished as one of the richest areas of the Roman Empire. In the Early Middle Ages, Campania was divided between Byzantines and Lombards, with some independent states along the coast, until the Normans conquered all of Southern Italy and established the Kingdom of Sicily<\/a>. The Kingdom of Naples split from Sicily in 1282, and was governed by the Angevins, the Aragonese, and the Bourbons, with periods under French and Spanish rule. Naples became one of the largest cities in Europe during this time. After the French Revolution, the Kingdom of Naples reunited with Sicily to form the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which later became part of the newly unified Italy. The region is one of the most populous in the country, and the most productive in Southern Italy. Campania is also one of the most visited regions in Italy, thanks to its countless historic attractions, which include world-famous archaeological sites, and the unparalleled beauty of its coastline, islands, and mountains. The region is also known for its unique culture, most notably its food, music, and history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
