Campania is a region of southern Italy, covering about 5,250 square miles. Its terrain is varied, including coastal areas to the west where it meets the Tyrrhenian Sea and Apennine mountain range passes through the eastern part of the region. Naples is the administrative capital for the region's population of 5,800,000. The fields of Campania are fertile, with soil rich in minerals and watered by the Volturno and Sele rivers, and during antiquity the region was the most important agricultural area in Italy.[1][2]
