Pomigliano is the South's factory town that learned to play: beside the car plant and the aerospace works that marked its twentieth century — Alfa Romeo built aircraft here, then saloons — grew Pomigliano Jazz, the festival that since 1996 has brought the genre's greats to the slopes of Vesuvius, with concerts even inside the crater.
The town of worker-students has lively squares and author murals; nougat and struffoli at festival time recall that peasant Campania is never far. Naples twenty minutes by the Circumvesuviana railway.
