Cima del Monte Massico
Mondragone (CE)
From the ridge that divides the Campanian plain from the Gulf of Gaeta, the eye reaches as far as Ischia. On these slopes, legend says, Bacchus disguised as a wayfarer asked old Falernus for hospitality, and to thank him made the vines grow that would yield the wine of emperors.
MuseumsMuseo Archeologico Biagio Greco
Mondragone (CE)
A small provincial museum guarding the fragments of the ager Falernus: votive terracottas, grave goods, the remains brought back up from Sinuessa, the Roman city that today sleeps beneath the sand and the sea.
