Every corner of the Campi Flegrei and Campania Felix is linked to ancient Rome. Some two thousand years later, you can still feel the bustle of people going about their daily lives. So, what are we waiting for? Let's start this exciting journey. 
Each district of Monte di Procida exalts its peculiarities, reproducing those churches, places or symbols that distinguish the “Terrace on the Campi Flegrei”. Here is a small but exhaustive sample.
The 8 districts of Monte di Procida
Among the unique features of the municipality of Monte di Procida districts are the plaques identifying each. In addition to the logos, which are made in a modern and fresh style, each plate bears the words in the local dialect of Monte Procida. It is a simple but effective way to hand down the traditional toponymy to younger citizens. At the same time, it conveys to visitors a sense of belonging and the village's identity. The illustrations and texts result from competition to choose the most beautiful logos. The initiative was carried on by the young graphic designer Diego Serpico from Monte di Procida, who donated his works to the town in 2017.
Miliscola
y
Undoubtedly, the most important, the district of Miliscola, is located in the heart of the Campi Flegrei along the road leading from the military port of Miseno to Cuma. Its numerous archaeological remains are authentic eyewitnesses to its history and deep links with ancient Rome. The name Miliscola itself leaves nothing to the imagination. From the Latin Militum Schola, the military school of the Misenensis Class was the largest fleet ever seen at the time. The port of Miseno, which replaced the nearby port of Puteoli, which was impracticable due to bradyseism, became and maintained a crucial strategic role for several centuries. It represented a reference point for the entire Mediterranean, guaranteeing the security and military control of the Roman Empire. The area of Miliscola lies on the west coast of the promontory. It was an incredible place from a military point of view, with the most advanced defence infrastructure for the time. It also included the Piscina Mirabilis, fed by the Roman Serino Aqueduct, bringing water even from the mountains of Irpinia. It was another source of pride and glory. Praetoria Classis Misenensis was a town in its own right that reflected the Roman style: the houses, the forum and the buildings for everyday public life. Miseno extended as far as Monte di Procida, also known as Monte Miseno. Even today, on the road to Miliscola, the remains of tombs for their dead can still be seen, built along the main roads. These tombs were called columbaria because of the internal niches where cinerary urns were placed. Miliscola is in a unique and spectacular location. It is a strip of beach surrounded by water: the Mediterranean Sea on one side and Lake Miseno on the other. An area with a purely military vocation still blends past and present, united b boasting engineering works that were astonishing for their time. This enchanting scenery will leave visitors open-mouthed.
Ncopp’ i ccase
The Contrada Casevecchie, North of Monte di Procida, is the village's original nucleus. According to some scholars, in the 10th century, peasants from the Miseno countryside moved here in search of a safer place. A subsistence economy characterised the life of the new inhabitants based on agriculture and fishing, traits that can still be seen today. The highest part, the Gaveta area, has a clear agricultural vocation, while the Corricella area has a more distinctly maritime attitude. It is the Al Chiar di Luna neighbourhood!
Abbasci â vit
Located on the promontory, the monks chose this area for cultivation. From Procida, experienced farmers began their activity first as commuters and then settled here. The name abbasci â vit derives from the presence of the vines, a flourishing agricultural production, and the extraction of pozzolan and tuff.
Mmiez’ â chiesia
It is another district with a farming vocation. The chapel in the agricultural farms was an essential element. It was located right in the centre of the village, where small communities could easily reach it. For this reason, the area was called “Mmiezz a chiesia”, namely “the church in the middle of the hamlet”.
Ncopp’ i ccruci
Located to the northeast of Monte di Procida, this area was used for cultivation by religious and missionaries. The name derives from the fact that the Passionists fathers placed iron crosses (i ccruci) along with the various points of the district.
Torregaveta
The name derives from the word “àvuta” (or high), which is used to remember one of the 366 bastions that King Charles V built in the 16th century to guard the kingdom against attacks from the sea. According to another hypothesis, the toponym is associated with "Turris Vatiae", the tower belonging to a famous Roman villa. A modern building currently used as a restaurant seems to incorporate old structures connected to the Roman nobleman Servilius Vatia. Isolated from everything and everyone, he lived in this place which, according to Seneca's accounts, must have been spectacular, exposed to the west wind (or Favonius wind) and equipped with fishponds and ponds.
Cappella
At the foot of the mountain, the Contrada Cappella rises. As you can easily guess, the name derives from the fact that the place was part of the possessions of the Benedictine Abbey of Santa Maria a Cappella in Naples. It was a gancia, a territory used for the monks' agricultural production.
For’ â Torre
The inhabitants of Procida built the ancient Torre Fumo as a shelter to escape from pirates, accommodation and a warehouse. Built on Mount Grillo, it was the place to control the sea. Its logo depicts the tower defending the city. Al Chiar di Luna is about 2 km from the town centre and can be reached by car in about 5 minutes.
