Tips from the Community
The Carolino Aqueduct (also known as Vanvitelli's Aqueduct) is a monumental engineering work designed by Luigi Vanvitelli to supply the Royal Palace of Caserta, its fountains, gardens, and the nearby industrial complex of San Leucio. Inaugurated in 1762 after 9 years of work, the aqueduct draws water from the Fizzo springs in the territory of Airola and winds for about 38 kilometers, much of which is underground. In 1997 it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage list along with the Palace and the Belvedere of San Leucio.

The structure, located between the municipalities of Nola and Visciano, can be visited more flexibly than in the past and women are allowed to enter, which until a few years ago was forbidden. From a geographical point of view, the Hermitage stands on a mountain that since 1601 has been called Mount Visciano. Later it changed its name to Camaldoli. From the foundation tables we learn that a Nolan patrician named Pompeo Fellecchia had a brother who wore the Camaldolese habit in the hermitage of RUA, in the Padua area, where in 1584, he took religious vows. Upon the death of his brother Pompeo, in homage to him, he left a large part of his property to the hermitage of the Incoronata on the condition that a hermitage be built in the Camaldoli area of Nola. The Hermitage, today entrusted to the priests of the Piccola Opera, remains a place of silence and uncontaminated nature. Numerous spiritual retreats, conferences and conventions are held here. There is a renowned farm and herbalist's shop
