Campanica | Monitoring Italy's Campania region around Naples

COROT EN PLEIN AIR ENTERS CAPODIMONTE COLLECTIONS IN NAPLES The view, probably taken from the entrance to the Villa Reale, shows the bay in early morning light. The rising sun — the shifting colours produced by changing light — throws long shadows from Castel dell'Ovo, a grove of trees and the Real Casino di Pesca del Chiatamone across the water, while Vesuvius sits hidden behind the waterfront buildings on the left. Pizzofalcone can also be picked out, and a woman on the beach and sailors in a boat are the only figures.
