On the bus, through the hairpin turns, looking out over vistas so high and blue that I was at once serenely entranced and deeply mortified, both. Campania is an intensely sensual experience in a way that Northern Italy is not. It is neither better nor worse, only different. There is much to admire. Nothing to fear.
