Caivano is Atellan land: the plain north of Naples where tomatoes and orchards wrote a century of farming economy, its ancient hamlets still legible in the urban fabric. The sanctuary of Maria Santissima di Campiglione, medieval in origin, is the religious heart: the September feast draws the faithful of the whole plain.
The mother church of San Pietro and the courtyard palaces tell of the rural village that was. A hinge position between Naples, Caserta and the Appian Way: a hardworking lowland stop, worth knowing to understand Campania beyond the postcards.
