Vineyards climb the slopes of Vesuvius all around Boscoreale, producing the region's famous Lacryma Christi wine. Historically meaning "Royal Grove," this municipality sits entirely within the Vesuvius National Park, tied to the dark volcanic soil that yields its abundant fruit harvests.
The town of roughly 27,400 residents relies on more than just agriculture. It sustains a specialized local industry centered on crafting fine Vesuvian lava stone. This volcanic rock forms a core part of the economy and provides a direct, physical connection to the looming crater above.
