Lasagna History of the Origin of Naples
The Greeks are believed to have first settled in the area of Naples in 2BC and it is currently the third-largest city of Italy.
Naples is also the capital city of Campania, one of the most populous areas in Italy.
It eventually became the epicenter of culture for the Roman empire and played a key role as the capital of the Duchy of Naples and the Kingdom of Naples.
Eventually, it became the center of the baroque period and an artistic renaissance sparked by the famed Italian painter Caravaggio.
