Campanica | Monitoring Italy's Campania region around Naples

WALKING ALONG THE ANCIENT APPIAN WAY The city of Benevento is located in the southern part of the Apennine hinterland of Campania, in the Samnium region, halfway between the Tyrrhenian and the Adriatic Sea: an important stop on the Appian Way. Great strategic and commercial importance acquired the city thanks to the passage of the Appia. Emperor Trajan chose it as the starting point for the new route that took its name, the Appia Traiana, which brought the route to Brindisi on the Adriatic coast.
