Deze National Geographic Day Tour staat helemaal in het teken van de schatten van Tramonti. Je begint met een schilderachtige rit langs de Baai van Napels, onder het toeziend oog van de Vesuvius. Je doorkruist de Monti Lattari en de Chiunzi bergpas, waarachter de gehuchten van Tramonti schuilgaan. De wereld dankt zijn liefde voor pizza voornamelijk aan de voorouders van Tramonti. Dankzij hen hebben pizzeria's zich over de hele wereld verspreid. En terwijl je over schilderachtige wegen naar je eerste bestemming slingert, vertelt je gids, die is getraind door National Geographic, je verhalen over de lokale cultuur en geschiedenis.
Tramonti ligt hoog boven de Amalfikust en is bezaaid met citroenboomgaarden, kastanjebomen en terrasvormige wijngaarden. Eerst bezoek je de tuin van Acarbio, een visionaire vereniging en de drijvende kracht achter de kandidatuur van de Amalfikust als biosfeerreservaat van UNESCO. En onder het genot van een verfrissing kom je meer te weten over een paar lopende projecten. Waaronder de revival van de historische Rè Fiascone tomaat, een bijna uitgestorven hoofdingrediënt voor het maken van pizza. Het is moeilijk om niet geïnspireerd te raken door deze dynamische vereniging en hun toewijding aan het behoud van het landelijke erfgoed en de biodiversiteit van de Amalfikust. De leden doen hun uiterste best om de lokale landbouw nieuw leven in te blazen en bedreigde diersoorten te beschermen.
De laatste stop is bij een lokale Agriturismo, waar je onder leiding van een ervaren pizzabakker de kunst van het bakken van de traditionele 'Napolitaanse' pizza onder de knie krijgt. De voorzitter van de Associazione Pizza Tramonti – een belangrijke nationale vereniging van ongeveer 2000 pizzabakkers – vertelt je meer over de geschiedenis van de pizza in Tramonti. Na afloop smul je tijdens de lunch van je culinaire inspanningen.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Spartacus' World at Ancient Capua
Boasting a strategic location on the Via Appia, Ancient Capua was a hugely important city since its foundation in the 5th century BCE. Your journey begins at the Arena of Spartacus, the ancient amphitheater in Capua. Second in size only to Rome's Colosseum, this amphitheater is older, better preserved, and less crowded. Join your guide, a specialist in Roman archaeology, to tour the home of the Gladiator school of Ancient Rome where the legendary gladiator Spartacus made his daring escape and ignited his revolt against Roman slavery.Upon leaving the army, Spartacus was sold into slavery. He was ordered to go to Capua to enroll in Gladiator training school, where he rebelled against his enslavement and managed to escape alongside several other trainee gladiators. He became the leader of the growing group of escaped slaves who were ready to fight for freedom and autonomy. Against the odds, Spartacus and his rebel army resisted Roman attempts to overpower them, becoming a symbol of resistance against oppression.As you explore the amphitheater's ‘hypogeum' or underground area, you'll feel like you have a backstage pass to the gladiator shows of days past. The areas here are far better preserved than those found at the Colosseum of Rome. You'll then visit what is known as the 'gladiator's room,' off limits to other visitors. Still being studied, specialist archeologists are still trying to understand the room's original purpose.An augmented reality experience, exclusive to National Geographic travelers, will bring to life the experience of being Spartacus 2000 years ago, complete with reconstructions of the original amphitheater from the perspective of both the spectators and the gladiators. Step into the shoes of Spartacus, and feel the pulse of Ancient Rome.After your tour, relax over a lunch lovingly prepared with local organic produce by owners who take pride in maintaining their historic surroundings. The restaurant is conveniently located on the perimeter of the archeological site.
