Caivano, Municipality in Metropolitan Naples, Italy
Description
Caivano is a municipality northeast of Naples in Campania that spreads across flat terrain and mixes residential and industrial areas. Its layout includes neighborhoods like Pascarola, where factories and workshops form part of the local landscape.
History
The area has Roman-era roots, with archaeological finds in the Casolla quarter revealing remnants of an ancient theater buried beneath the modern town. Over centuries, it served early administrative functions before losing its central role to nearby settlements.
