flag of Campania - italy

The capital of Campania, Naples is one of the few European cities of the ancient world that has never been completely extinguished. Founded by Greeks, it was embellished and enlarged by the Romans and in subsequent centuries was the much-prized booty of foreign invaders and imperialists- most prominently the Normans, Hohenstaufen, French and Spanish.
