Castellammare di Stabia

Castellammare di Stabia is nestled right by the sea, featuring nearly four kilometers of coastline with a pedestrian path of about 2.6 km running between the promenade and the public gardens (villa comunale). It spans an area of 17.81 km² and has a population of nearly 62,000 inhabitants.
The city is situated in a basin within the Gulf of Naples, between Mount Faito and the mouth of the Sarno River. Thanks to its fortunate geographical position (between Naples, the Sorrento peninsula, and the islands of Capri and Ischia), it boasts two tourist harbors: Stabia Main Port and Marina di Stabia. Also known as the "city of waters" due to the presence of as many as 28 springs, it was a prominent spa and thermal center for decades. Its gastronomic products are widely known and appreciated, most notably the traditional biscotti di Castellammare.

Agerola

Agerola is situated in a basin within the Lattari Mountains, at 630 meters above sea level. It is the only municipality in the province of Naples to belong to the Amalfi Coast (so much so that it is known as the "terrace overlooking the Coast"). It spans an area of 19.83 km² and has just over 7,800 inhabitants. Divided into six hamlets (Bomerano, Campora, Pianillo, Ponte, San Lazzaro, and Santa Maria), it was rich in villae rusticae (country villas) during the Roman era, especially in its flatter areas. It is famous for the Path of the Gods (Sentiero degli Dei), a hiking trail that connects Agerola to Positano; practically suspended between sky and sea, it is the ideal solution for those wishing to combine cool mountain air and trekking while remaining just a short distance from the beaches.

Casola

Casola di Napoli is situated at the foot of the Lattari Mountains, at the gateway to the Sorrento Peninsula, within a predominantly hilly landscape. It is crossed by short waterways (mostly torrential in nature), sits at 170 meters above sea level, spans an area of 2,59 km², and has a population of around 3,600 inhabitants. Some of its panoramic views overlooking the Gulf of Naples are particularly cherished. The town is well-known for its agricultural production (such as walnuts, chestnuts, and olive oil) and for its religious traditions, including the "Luglio Antoniano". Also popular is the emigrants' festival (festa degli emigranti), which takes place in August. Meanwhile, the Church of the Most Holy Savior and Saint Andrew the Apostle dates back to the 10th century.

Gragnano

Gragnano is a hillside town located 141 meters above sea level. It covers an area of 14.64 km² and has nearly 27,500 inhabitants. Nestled at the foot of the Lattari Mountains, it is almost entirely surrounded by peaks (Muto, Sant'Erasmo, the Carpeneto hill, and Pendolo). It is universally known as the "city of pasta", a product that boasts the prestigious PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) designation. An annual festival celebrating pasta is held in September, blending the excellence of local food products with culture, tradition, and innovation. The panuozzo (made from pizza dough), fior di latte cheese, and the local sparkling red wine are also highly appreciated.

Lettere

A town perched on the Lattari Mountains, Lettere is situated 356 meters above sea level, covering a land area of 12.02 km² with a population of just over 6,000 inhabitants. Located in the southern part of the Gulf of Naples, it features two main monuments. The first is the castle, commissioned by the Amalfitans as a guard outpost for the duchy; later expanded by the Normans and the Swabians, it was restored first in the late 1990s and again in the early 2000s. The second is the Sanctuary of Saint Anne, which served as the cathedral of the then-diocese of Lettere until 1818, and houses an interesting high altarpiece dedicated to the Virgin and Child.

Pimonte

Located in the hilly area of the Lattari Mountains, 406 meters above sea level, Pimonte covers an area of 12.44 km² and has nearly 5,900 inhabitants. From several areas of the town, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the Gulf of Naples with Mount Vesuvius in the background, all immersed in a unique environment—so much so that the municipality is defined as the "green oasis" of the Lattari Mountains. From a gastronomic perspective, the production of PDO olive oil and the Cannellino cherry tomato are particularly noteworthy. From a religious standpoint, the town is well-known for its living nativity scene (presepe vivente) set in the Valle Lavatoio. Additionally, the celebrations in honor of the patron saint, San Michele Arcangelo, are highly popular.

Sant’Antonio Abate

Sant’Antonio Abate is situated on the plain overlooked by the Lattari Mountains, at 20 meters above sea level. It spans an area of 7.93 km² and has a population of nearly 18,800 inhabitants. From a historical perspective, it was the site of the significant final clash of the Gothic-Byzantine War (known as the Battle of Mount Lactarius). The municipality's strong agricultural and agri-food vocation is also highly appreciated, particularly regarding the cultivation of tomatoes and fresh produce. The town celebrates its patron saint—protector of animals and, more generally, of the rural world—with great community participation.

Santa Maria la Carità

Situated in the Stabian-Vesuvian plain, 16 meters above sea level, Santa Maria la Carità is a recently established town, having been founded only in 1978. It spans an area of 3.98 km² and has a population of around 11,900 inhabitants. The name is dedicated to the patron saint, Santa Maria delle Grazie, to which the word Carità (Charity) was added, likely to distinguish it from other localities. The initiatives linked to the "Luglio Sammaritano" hold great appeal, not only for residents; they feature a series of events, most notably the Palio del Ciuccio, which stands out for its importance and community participation. The religious heart of the town is the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, located in the main square.
