The Anonymous Widower

Pozzuoli

The main feaure of Pozzuoli is the massive Flavian amphitheatre.  It is the third largest in Italy.

Incidentally, Pozzuoli was the place where Sophia Loren grew up.  Now, there’s a glamorous widow!

Solfatara

Solfatara is a strange volcanic area that I visited near Pozzuoli.

I think it is true to say that most will not visit the area.  But if you want to, just take the Metro from Naples to Puzzuoli and then walk up the hill.  Don’t wear your best clothes, as Solfatara is not too dirty, but the trains are.
