The Ducal castle is the symbol of the village. Its first stone dates
back to the 9th century, when the Longobards invaded and
conquered the area. The scale of this majestic structure reveals
its defensive origin, amply demonstrated by the thick walls and
12 metre tower.

The interior opens up onto a paved courtyard ending with a

Renaissance loggia, which overlooks the spectacular
surroundings.

Useful tips and information

and information

Flights costs are not included, you will need to make your own arrangements. Course fees cover transport and admission 
to various sites, but do not cover the cost of lunch, dinner and other sundry expenses. 

It is worth exploring flying into airports other than Naples, which is served by a limited number of carriers.  One possibility 
is to fly into Rome and then take the train to Naples or arrive a few days earlier. The train trip to Naples is very reasonably 
priced and passed through some beautiful countryside.

We won’t have time to visit Naples properly, so you may want to add a few days before or after the course, in order  to 
soak in the distinctive atmosphere of this beautiful city.
