Naples – In Campania, the lack of access to healthcare continues to be a silent emergency. Over the course of 2025, approximately 1,5 million patients forwent seeking treatment, held back by financial constraints or excessively long waiting times in the public healthcare system. This is according to a survey commissioned by Facile.it from the mUp research institute…
Campania is an Italian region with an extraordinary variety of landscapes: here, traces of ancient volcanism blend with lake landscapes, pristine forests, and ancient historical sites. This article explores some of the region's major bodies of water, from the legendary Campi Flegrei area near Naples to the inland lakes of Avellino and Benevento. We'll focus on volcanic lakes...
The Campania Regional Council resumes its session, and the institutional structure of the 5th Legislature is taking shape. After a roughly two-hour recess, the assembly elected its two vice presidents, marking a key step towards the start of its work. Luca Trapanese, representing the majority and the Five Star Movement, was chosen with 24 votes. He will also serve as deputy vice president. Giuseppe Fabbricatore of the Brothers of Italy party was elected for the center-right, receiving 19 votes.
This is Trapanese's first stint in the Regional Council, after serving as Councilor for Social Policies for the City of Naples in the government led by Gaetano Manfredi. This is also the first time in the Campania assembly for Fabbricatore, a former city councilor and group leader in Nocera Superiore and provincial councilor in Salerno.
