Sacred artSantuario della Madonna del Taburno
Bucciano (BN)
In 1401 a deaf-mute shepherdess, Agnese Pepe, is said to have heard the Madonna's voice coming from a cave on the Taburno. On the spot of the miracle a convent grew at 544 metres, today a silent balcony over the Valle Caudina.
- Sacred art
Grotta di San Simeone
Bucciano (BN)
A thirteen-metre cleft in the rock of the Taburno, lined with rock frescoes and a Byzantine-flavoured Christ enthroned. San Simeone, here, was invoked as the protector of fair weather.
- In the water & diving
Sorgenti del Fizzo (Acquedotto Carolino)
Bucciano (BN)
From here the water sets off on thirty-eight kilometres to make the fountains of the Reggia di Caserta play: point zero of Vanvitelli's hydraulic masterpiece, a UNESCO site that almost nobody comes to see.
