Campania (-itkamˈpaːnja) is a region in southern Italy. The region has a population of around 5.8 million people, making it the second-most-populous region of Italy; its total area of 13,590 km2 makes it the most densely populated region in the country. Located on the Italian Peninsula, with the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west, it includes the small Flegrean Islands and Capri for administration as part of the region.

Throughout much of its history Campania has been at the centre of southern Civilisation's most significant entities. The area was colonised by Ancient Greeks and was within Magna Græcia, until the Roman Republic began to dominate. During the Roman era the area was highly respected as a place of culture by the emperors, where it balanced Greco-Roman culture. The area had many duchies and principalities during the Middle Ages, in the hands of the Byzantine Empire and some Lombards.

It was under the Normans that the smaller independent states were brought together as part of a sizable European kingdom, known as the Kingdom of Sicily, before the mainland broke away to form the Kingdom of Naples. It was during this period that especially elements of Spanish, French and Aragonese culture touched Campania. Later the area became the central part of the Two Sicilies under the Bourbons, until the Italian unification of 1860 when it became part of the new state Italy.

The capital city of Campania is Naples. Campania is rich in culture, especially in regards to gastronomy, music, architecture, archeological and ancient sites such as Pompeii, Herculaneum and Paestum. The name of Campania itself is derived from Latin, as the Romans knew the region as Campania felix, which translates into English as "fertile countryside". The rich natural sights of Campania make it highly important in the tourism industry, especially along the Amalfi Coast, Mount Vesuvius and the island of Capri.

Dal nuovo album del cantante Gianni Fiorellino "XLMC - Per La Mia Città" in omaggio alla sua città d'origine, Napoli, (Giugliano in Campania, 3 aprile 1982), una nuova versione riarrangiata della canzone "Ricomincerei", pubblicata per la prima volta nell'album "Gli amori sono in noi" del 2003. Straordinaria già nella prima edizione, dove già si denotava una certa crescita nell'interprete vocalmente parlando, è questa qui una versione addirittura migliore, davvero efficace, della canzone di Gianni Fiorellino forse più conosciuta e che gli ha dato per la prima volta una visibilità nazionale avendo con essa partecipato al Festival Di Sanremo classificandosi al 4° posto. Una canzone che resta davvero, che entra dentro... un connubio eccelso di parole e suoni... tutto magistrato dal grande e talvolta non apprezzato veramente Gianni Fiorellino. Gianni sei grande!! RICOMINCEREI Io senza di te un cervo in città che cosa mi succederà L'azzurro che c'è, è buio per me ...ho proprio bisogno di te... Sento ancora le tue labbra addosso quell'abbraccio sotto un cielo rosso i tuoi passi innamorati e svelti verso me... Stavo per fotografare Dio ...la tua anima era nella mia... Ma una neve fredda è scesa su di noi Ricomincerei non ti perderei con un nodo stretta sul mio cuore io ti legherei, ti amerei, come mai nessuno ho mille occhi adesso io per te Ricomincerei perchè ti vorrei appoggiata al muro della scuola con i libri miei sopra i tuoi come noi... Amore Quel giorno a casa mia a volare <b>...</b>
