A region in southern Italy centered around Naples, historically famous for its fertile lands, classical cities like Pompeii, and bell-making traditions.
From Latin Campania, related to campus meaning 'field' or 'plain,' referring to the flat agricultural areas. The region's name reflects its geography and ancient importance as Rome's breadbasket.
Campania's volcanic soil preserved Pompeii perfectly in 79 AD—the same rich landscape that made it Rome's richest province also created a time capsule that archaeologists would unlock 1,700 years later!
