The best MTB trails around Pago Del Vallo Di Lauro

View of Quindici, Naples and its surroundings

Shelter on Monte Donico, open, inside there is also a table, a fireplace and an armchair! It could be better maintained, a shame, because it could be useful in case of storms. Outside there are many gazebos kept in a terrible state and picnic tables

On the left you continue towards the town of Visciano. On the right towards Monte Donico.

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

Remains of an old virginian monastery of the Camaldoli Vecchi in the municipality of Visciano.

Refuge located on Monte Donico ideal for a short break outside the city. Inside the refuge there is a fireplace. Outside there is a spacious table and a barbeque.

On the hill of Casa Piana, in the municipal area of Diecici, the Tortora family from Bosagro, owners of almost the entire hill, had a sanctuary built in 1847. The church was dedicated to the Madonna della Neve. The religious complex consists of various rooms arranged on four levels with an adjoining church, the latter constituting the central nucleus of the complex. Inside it there are numerous family tombs. In the central part of the church you can admire four monumental marble tombs decorated with the Tortora coat of arms and the insignia of the characters buried in them. Among them Mons. Leopoldo (1815 – 1878) and Luciano (1820 – 1887) Tortora, both courtly apostolic prothonotaries, domestic prelates of His Holiness, chamber chaplains of the Majesty of the Two Sicilies, apostolic mayors of the Alcatarini fathers, Jerusalemite knights, Constantinians of Holy Sepulcher of the Order of Civil Merit of Ferdinand I. In the presbytery you can admire the marble tomb of Nicola Tortora (1775 – 1855), founder of the Sanctuary. Along the staircase leading to the sacristy are the tombs of Nicola (1847 – 1891) and Federico (1853 – 1883) Tortora. Other burials of simpler construction can be seen at the entrance to the church. About twenty-five years ago, unknown thieves stole the beautiful statue of the Madonna, which was then replaced with a papier-mâché copy. Today it is the Sisters of Charity, owners of the sanctuary, who provide for the needs of the complex, which are numerous, burdensome and require a considerable expenditure of resources.

passage not recommended for those who are afraid of dogs; I was alone and the 3 Maremmas "accompanied" me to the exit; among other things I think it's a private area
