Agerola

Agerola is a mountain municipality south of Naples comprising six villages spread across hilly terrain. The main settlements include Bomerano and Pianillo, which serve as focal points for the community.

The place traces its roots to ancient Roman settlements in the region. In 2014 it became part of the Metropolitan City of Naples, marking a significant administrative shift.

The place is known for producing Fior di Latte cheese using traditional methods passed down through generations of local artisans. Cheesemaking shapes daily life here and remains central to the community's identity.

The municipality is accessible by public transportation from Naples, with Pianillo serving as the administrative center. Good walking shoes are recommended since trails wind through hillside terrain and surfaces can be uneven.

The place sits close to the Amalfi Coast and features numerous walking trails leading to Mediterranean viewpoints. This proximity lets visitors experience mountain village life and coastal views within a short distance.
