国家名称 Italy
历史 The area around Capua at the time of the Romans was called Agro Capuano which later became Agro Campano and finally Campania. This was the name given to the area of ​​the Tyrrhenian coast. With the passing of the centuries, lacking the unity of the country, there were numerous divisions of the area, including the Duchy of Naples, the Duchy of Benevento, the Principality of Salerno and the Duchy of Amalfi. With the constitution of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861, the Region reported its name of Campania, but with much wider borders.

土壤和气候 The climate in the coastal strip, on the plains and on the islands is incredibly mild. In mountain areas despite the heavy Winter snowfall, the climate is quite sweet. The climate is mild on the coasts and on the hills, while it is more continental inside the mountainous areas of the Campano Apennines.

典型菜肴 The most famous dish consists of pizza; cooked in a traditional wood oven, although now there are many variations, from the simplest with a little oregano and anchovies, to those more processed with eggs, seafood, meats, cheeses and vegetables of all kinds. The region has a strong agricultural vocation in which the cultivation of vegetables and fruit excel, which sees in the foreground the tomato in its final varieties, from the San Marzano of the Agro Sarnese-Nocerino, recognized PDO, to the salads of Salerno and Torre del Greco. Like pizza, the calzone is considered a single dish, and is made up of a leavened dough folded like a large ravioli, stuffed with ham, beaten egg, mozzarella, ricotta, pepper and aromatic herbs. Another particular dish is the 'casatiello', obtained with a soft dough of flour, water, yeast, lard and salt, to which cubed salami and pepper is added. The dough is flattened, rolled up on itself and placed in a mold with a hole in the middle; at this point, whole eggs, raw and complete with shells, are inserted into the dough at regular intervals, sinking half of them. It is left to rise and then put in the oven to cook.
典型产品 Campania is perhaps best known for its Lacrima Christi wine that is pressed from grapes grown on the slopes of Vesuvius, but today this is not the most interesting wine in the region. Other ancient traditional wines such as Falernum or Falerno show the potential of Campania and its native vines. The best Falerno is found in the municipality of Monte del Massiccio. The Falerno Bianco is made from Falanghina, the same grape that was planted by the Greek colonizers, while for the red Aglianico is used, and, to a small extent, Piedirosso, also originally from Magna Graecia. Taurasi produced with the late vine Aglianico is the only wine of the area, which,has reaced DOCG status. Other excellent producers in Campania are Feudi di San Gregorio and Montevetrano.
