The Ducal castle is the symbol of the village. Its first stone dates

back to the 9th century, when the Longobards invaded andconquered the area. The scale of this majestic structure reveals

The interior opens up onto a paved courtyard ending with a

Renaissance loggia, which overlooks the spectacular

surroundings.

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.
