Campania is a region in southern Italy located on the Italian Peninsula with the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west. The region is well known for its beautiful coast with the picturesque seaside villages of Amalfi, Positano, and Sorrento and the small and stunning Flegrean islands such as Capri and Ischia.

Along the coast the city of Napleas is maybe the most famous Italian city all over the world and not only for pizza and gastronomy but also for its rich history, art, culture, architecture, and music. But probably not many people know that there is a lovely and green area in northeast Campania where people still live close to nature in harmony with Mother Earth cultivating their own land and keeping their rich traditions and culture alive.

This place is Samnium (Oscan: Safiniom; Italian: Sannio), an historical region of the south central Apennines in Italy, that was home to the Samnites, a group of Sabellic tribes that controlled the area from about 600 BC to about 290 BC. The principal cities of the region were Bovaiamom, renamed Bovianum by Latins (today: Bojano or Boiano) and Malventum (Maloenton in Oscan), which was later renamed Beneventum by the Romans (today: Benevento). As the province of Benevento was the core of the ancient Samnite area, Samnium is mainly recognised as part of this zone today and is getting a more and more attractive tourist destination in the last few years...
