Land of work/Terra di Lavoro is a historical-geographical region of southern Italy, previously identified as Campania felix and today divided between Campania, Lazio and Molise.

Liburia and Terra di Lavoro
Etymology

The Campania amphitheater of ancient Capua (Santa Maria Capua Vetere)
Originally, before the assertion of the toponym Terra Laboris, the territory was identified by the Latins with the names of Campi Leburini (later Laburini) and Terrae Leboriae (later Laboriae) (see Ferruccio Calonghi, Dictionary of the Latin language Georges-Calonghi. Vol I. Turin, 1960); this could perhaps derive from the name of an ancient population, the Lebori.

Its extension largely represented the territories of ancient Campania, such as the Principality of Capua, the Duchy of Naples, the Duchy of Gaeta and the Duchy of Sorrento. With the advent of Roger II and the conquest of the South, the aforementioned territories became part of the Terra di Lavoro, the main department of the Kingdom of Naples.

Ancient Campania (often also identified as Campania Felix or even ager Campanus) originally indicated the territory of the ancient city of Capua in the Roman period, and later also the plains of the various neighboring municipalities. It was a very vast territory when compared with the other Italic cities of the Roman and pre-Roman periods.

It stretched from the slopes of Mount Massico (in the north) to the south of the Phlegrean Fields and the Vesuvian area. Initially it also included the ager Falernus, then it was greatly scaled down from Rome due to the alliance of the city of Capua with Hannibal.

The main inhabited centers of this historical region were (from north to south) Capua, Atella, Liternum, Cumae, Baia, Puteoli, Acerrae, Nola, Neapolis, Caprae, Oplontis, Pompeii, Sorrentum, Stabiae, Nuceria Alfaterna and Salernum.

Thanks to the fertility of the soil also due to the presence of the Volturno river, it deserved the name of Campania Felix.

Serapo beach

The rocks of the Serapo bay, which opens into the promontory of Fontania
Serapo beach is the main beach of the municipality of Gaeta (also awarded the Blue Flag for the fourth consecutive year), about a kilometer away from the city center; its bathing activity flourished from 1926, when the beach on the northern slope of the isthmus of Montesecco was closed.

The southern part of the territory (Villaggio Coppola, Marina d'Ischitella and Marina di Lago Patria) is an integral part of the Metropolitan Area of ​​Naples, wedging between the Agro Aversano and the Giuglianese.
