Among the places of Campania involved in the event sponsored by Fai, it includes the striking Ieranto Bay, a place of pristine beauty carved in the rocks of the southern tip of the Sorrento Peninsula. And this is the point where, according to Greek mythology , the Sirens built their home inaccessible.
At a stone’s throw from the treasures of the Amalfi Coast and Capri. From this same location, overlooking the sea, winds a scenic trail, not surprisingly called “god” that starts from the village of Nerano, a hamlet of Massa Lubrense, and winds up on the beach between ancient rural buildings restored by Fai, characteristics Saracen towers, the wonders of nature and breathtaking views of the Gulf of Naples.
But the spectacle offered by the portentous nature of the Campania region does not end here.

But we move on now to the many historic buildings in the city of Partenope which are usually closed, but that, for the occasion ,will open its doors to welcome tourists, art lovers and visitors.
Let’s start with Marigliano Palace, built between 1512 and 1513 commissioned by Bartolomeo di Capua, Count of Altavilla.
The building of Via San Biagio dei librai which now houses inside the headquarters of the Archival Superintendency of Campania, still bears the inscription on the entrance door of the family crest of Mount Marigliano which acquired the building in the second half of ‘800.
Still, among the majestic buildings throw open their doors to the lucky patrons, it includes the magnificent Villa Lucia, located next to the green Park of Floridiana, reached from Via Cimarosa climbs up to the funicular station Chiaja.
The current name of the villa, in the Pompeian style, derives from the “favorite of the King” Lucia Migliaccio, Duchess of Floridia, in which the entire building was donated.
We close then the tour of the famous mansions of the ancient capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies with Villa Rosebery, the sumptuous residence built in the early nineteenth century by the Austrian Count De Thurn, for years a representative office and a recreation area for the English Ambassadors in Italy, then in the thirties of the twentieth century used as a summer residence of the House of Savoy.
