Hi All,

Primo garzie tantissimo a Marco.

One of my memory cards was damaged when I went walking at Xijiang so all the photos I took I lost so thank you Marco today for his photos.

Great to be back in Italy again to see family and friends. I'd always wanted to visit Capua because of it's place in Roman history for Spartacus and Hannibal. I must recommend the museum at Capua, although our guide didn't speak much English and I had to translate for another couple, but the exhibts are very interesting. There are statues from a fertility cult that exist nowhere else in the world.

After a delicious lunch at Marco's parents house, real pasta, we went on to visit the arena. Now that must of been a sight when it was in it's prime. It's was the second largest arena after the Colloseum in Rome. Then we went on to visit Casertavecchia a medieval village.

Big thanks go out to Marco and Cocci for all you help.

Enjoy the photos

Jah Bless

Io sono Spartacus!!!!
Grazie a voi di averci deliziato con la vostra compagnia. Abbiamo trascorso insieme una intensa e meravigliosa giornata. Abbiamo visto tante cose interessanti, cose che, anche così vicine a noi, non avevamo neanche mai visitato ed apprezzato. L'anfiteatro di Capua antica ed il museo campano di Capua ci hanno sorpreso positivamente sollecitando le nostre curiosità dormienti. Ciao Marco
