Follow in Leopardi’s footsteps with a poetic and sensory workshop. Between Villa Campolieto and Favorita Park, discover the beauty of words, the power of nature, and the joy of creation.
What to expect
The Words of the Ginestra
In the places that share the poet's horizon - Vesuvius, the sea, and the light of the Gulf - an experience intertwining poetry and nature comes to life. The workshop “The Words of the Ginestra” invites students to discover the inner world of Giacomo Leopardi, exploring the profound connection between the Vesuvian landscape and the verses of the famous composition La Ginestra.
Among the halls and gardens of the Vesuvian Villas
The activity takes place between the majesty of Villa Campolieto and the greenery of Parco della Favorita, two symbolic places of culture and landscape harmony in the region. Each space becomes a stage in a poetic journey: a dialogue between architecture, nature, and feeling.
Words Come to Life
After a brief introduction to Leopardi's stay in Torre del Greco, participants are guided in the reading and interpretation of the verses of La Ginestra. Through discussion and reflection, the students learn to recognize the poet's sensibility and his universal gaze on man and nature in the texts.
From Poetry to Creation
In the final part of the workshop, each student becomes an author and observer. Inspired by the locations, they can choose to write a personal thought or verse, or take a symbolic photograph that represents the strength and delicacy of nature. A moment of creative freedom that transforms poetry into a living and personal experience.
“The Words of the Ginestra” is a meeting between memory and landscape, between emotion and knowledge.
An opportunity to rediscover, through Leopardi's voice, the fragile yet powerful beauty of nature, and the role of man in its balance.
Ville Vesuviane
Tourism in the name of Beauty
The territory of the municipalities of Naples, San Giorgio a Cremano, Portici, Herculaneum and Torre del Greco is adorned with 122 monumental buildings, the so-called Vesuvian Villas. The targeted interventions of the “Vesuvian Villas Institution”, now a Foundation, in the past fifty-five years have restored a new dignity to the immense heritage of the Baroque Villas of the 18th century.
In 1738, Charles of Bourbon and his wife, Mariamalia of Saxony, chose Portici as the perfect place to build a new palace and to begin the excavations of the Roman city of Herculaneum. From that moment all the Neapolitan nobles followed the court of the Bourbons and raised some villas for their summer stays in the coastal area at the slopes of the Vesuvius, creating the architectural complex of the 122 “Vesuvian Villas” that is unique in the world for its vastity and its beauty.
The concentration of the “Vesuvian Villas” in the area within the borders of the municipality of Herculaneum intensified so much that it became a sort of particular prestige and it took the name of the Golden Mile. In fact, the Vesuvian Villas that run along that stretch of road can be compared to stunning monuments enriched with vast gardens and pictorial decorations made by great artists. They were designed and built by renowned architects such as Luigi Vanvitelli, Ferdinando Fuga, Domenico Antonio Vaccaro, Ferdinando San Felice.
Some of these monumental buildings, such as “Villa Campolieto”, the Sea Park of “Villa Favorita” and “Villa Ruggiero” in Herculaneum and “Villa delle Ginestre” in Torre del Greco, after a careful and rigorous restoration, are currently under the direct protection and management of the Ente Ville Vesuviane Foundation. They constitute the venues where the institutional activity takes place and countless cultural events and initiatives are carried out.
