Benevento
Benevento sits at the confluence of the Calore Irpino and Sabato rivers in Campania, Italy, where Apennine foothills frame an inland city. An important centre since Roman times, it preserves the Arch of Trajan, erected in AD 114, and a Roman Theatre. Its historic core also includes Santa Sofia, a Lombard church founded in the eighth century and part of the UNESCO-listed Longobards in Italy ensemble. Benevento was a significant stop on the ancient Via Appia, which connected Rome with southern Italy. Rivers, bridge crossings and low surrounding hills shape the modern urban area, while Strega, an herbal liqueur made here since the nineteenth century, remains one of the city’s best-known products.

Benevento sits at the meeting of the Calore Irpino and Sabato rivers in Campania, where the Apennine interior opens toward the lowlands of southern Italy. Its Roman legacy is embodied by the Arch of Trajan, erected in the early 2nd century along the Via Traiana, the road linking Benevento with Brindisi. The city later became the seat of a Lombard duchy, and its 8th-century Church of Santa Sofia belongs to UNESCO’s Longobards in Italy serial site.

The terrain of Campania ranges from volcanic lowlands along the Bay of Naples in the west to Apennine uplands in the east, creating a pronounced transition from coast to interior. Naples is the region’s principal city, set beneath Mount Vesuvius, whose 79 CE eruption buried the Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum. South of the bay, the Sorrentine Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast meet the Tyrrhenian Sea, while inland areas such as Irpinia are defined by hills, farmland and smaller historic towns. Campania’s identity is equally expressed through Neapolitan cuisine, especially pizza, and its long connection with the Mediterranean.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
