a town of Naples, in the province of Principato Citra, 19 miles east of Salerno. It stands in the centre of a mountainous district, of which it is the capital. It is the see of a bishop, and contains a cathedral and college, besides several churches and convents. Pop. 6700.
**Campagna di Roma**, the name of an extensive undulating plain which surrounds Rome, coinciding very nearly with the ancient province of Latium. It is bounded N.W. Campaign and N. by the Tiber and Teverone; E. by a branch of the Apennines; S. and S.W. by the Mediterranean; and contains an area of about 2400 square miles, with a population which varies according to the season of the year from about 15,000 to about 275,000. Its greatest length is about 65 miles, its greatest breadth about 45. The most elevated and salubrious districts are in the north and east, embracing the slopes of the Apennines, which are watered by the Teverone and Sacchio. Towards the coast the soil is flat, and covered with vegetation only in winter and the early part of spring. In summer it is parched and bare; and would be entirely deserted but for the few farm-servants who at night retire for shelter to the towns, and the hardy peasants from the neighbouring hills who for a trifling remuneration expose themselves to the malaria and vapours which prevail at harvest-time. Many of these soon fall victims to the malaria fever, and in the end of autumn the hospitals at Rome are filled with others. The proprietors of the farms for the most part reside in the capital; and on the approach of summer the herdsmen, turning loose their horses, drive the sheep and oxen to the pastures of the Apennines. The most pestilential district is that in the south, which lies between the Lepini hills and the sea, including the swamps commonly known as the Pontine marshes. Part of this tract is under cultivation, and a considerable portion was drained by Pliny VI., but without much effect so far as the salubrity of the district is concerned. The Campagna is studded with the ruins of ancient Roman villas, and the remains of the aqueducts which supplied the city with water form a very striking feature in the landscape.
The Campagna is divided for judicial purposes between the Comarca di Roma and the delegation of Frosinone.
