Beppe Convertini will stop in Torre del Greco, famous for its cameo coral processing, and then go to meet a beekeeper from Vesuvius.
Ingrid Muccitelli will walk along one of the many paths that wind along the walls of Vesuvius, until reaching the last lava flow, that of 1944, while Beppe will talk with a volcanologist who will tell him how Vesuvius continues to be studied and monitored.
Gragnano
Another journey of Linea Verde has another purpose, that of finding all the ingredients to cook the best pasta dish ever. He will go to Gragnano, the home of pasta, where it was once left to dry slowly in the town square, and then pick a bunch of friarielli in Quisisana, on the farm of a girl who alone, heroically, decided to carry on the family farming tradition. Finally, Peppone will reach the kitchen of the starred Peppe Guida, who has made simplicity and authenticity his strength by preparing a delicious dish of fusilli.
Linea Verde's journey ends on the crater of Vesuvius, in one of the most fascinating and suggestive places our travellers have ever seen. From there Beppe and Ingrid can observe not only the majesty and power of the volcano but also admire a unique panorama!
Twenty-six volcanological guides certified by the Campania Region report that they are still stuck at roadblocks, unable to carry out their activities on trail number 5 of the Gran Cono del Vesuvio, despite the new regional legislation recognizing their full right to operate.

The issue has its roots in the reform approved by the Campania Region last July, which overturned the old limited-access system in place for nearly thirty years. "Almost thirty years after the last competition," Balzano explains, "the Campania Region has approved the resolution expanding the number of volcanological guides operating at the permanent Vesuvius facility, in response to growing tourist traffic and increased safety requirements." This measure was supposed to open the doors to new guides, but in reality, according to the association, has yet to have any concrete effects on the ground.

The attack occurred around 1:00 AM, when the couple…
Torre del Greco — The first snow of 2026 presented a rare spectacle to residents of the slopes of Vesuvius and tourists visiting Naples.
