Buffalo mozzarella has one of its historic capitals here: buffaloes have grazed the Volturno plain for centuries, and "the one from Mondragone" is for many Campanians a mark of trust even before origin. Above town, the ruins of the Rocca Montis Dragonis — the "dragon's mount" that gives the name — watch over the Domitian coast.
At the foot of Mount Massico, the remains of ancient Sinuessa, a Roman colony famed for its waters, surface between the shore and the vineyards of Falernian wine: yes, the one of Horace's banquets. Wide beaches and buffalo cooking complete the stop.
