San Gennaro Vesuviano
About San Gennaro Vesuviano
San Gennaro Vesuviano is an Italian town of 12,063 inhabitants of the metropolitan town of Naples in Campania. The first settlements in the location are very ancient. The Municipality of San Gennaro Vesuviano occupies the web site of the Pianura Campana formerly known as Planum Palmae, today higher known as the Piano, delimited by means of Mount Vesuvius and Monte Sant Angelo. The Plan represents nearly a natural geological connection among the agro nocerino sarnese and the agro Nola.
Recent archaeological discoveries have allowed us to date a few settlements in the full Bronze Age, around 2000 BC, when an unexpected eruption of Vesuvius devastated the communities present in the place. For several centuries the complete vicinity, blanketed with dense flowers, remained completely uninhabited and constituted on the most an occasional hunting vacation spot for the inhabitants of the primitive neighboring centers.
Only century’s later, new populations slowly started out to settle again. In 1631, with a deed drawn up by using the Episcopal curia of Nola by means of the Notary Galeota, Scipione Pignatelli, count number of San Valentino and marquis of Lauro, he made a rich donation to the Bishop of Nola, Monsignor Fabrizio Gallo in prefer of the Minor Reforming Fathers of St. Francis.
Trip Ideas of San Gennaro Vesuviano
The City of San Fernando is the capital of Pampanga province and is also popularly known as the ‘Christmas Capital of the Philippines’. Every year, there is a Giant Lantern Festival that is organized over here from December 16 to 24 in which different communities participate against each other by building different types of lamps and commemorating it in a superb show of light and music. The festival is a popular attraction during the nine days of Christmas as people pour in large numbers to witness the spectacle. The initial tradition of the festival began somewhere around 1908 but the present version of it evolved during the 1930s when electricity made its way into the city. However, the motto of the festival is unity among its different neighbourhoods through different lanterns. Some other facts related to the Giant Lantern Festival and the city, in particular, are also discussed here for a general understanding.
