Ottaviano is a comune in the Metropolitan City of Naples in the Italian region Campania, located about 20 kilometers east of Naples and is located in the Vesuvian Area.
Ottaviano Town, was in Roman times a hamlet of houses within a vast estate (praedium Octaviorum) belonging to the gens Octavia, Augustus's family. The territory of the country includes most of the crater of Vesuvius. The Medici Castle in Ottaviano houses the headquarters of the National Park of Vesuvius. The city has long suffered from eruptions of Vesuvius, and in particular was almost completely buried by volcanic ash from Vesuvius's eruption of 1631, 1779 and 1906. It was said that during the first and second eruptions Ottaviano "was buried like Pompeii", it was also referred to as "the new Pompeii". During the third eruption the roof of the Mother Church of San Michele Arcangelo collapsed under the weight of the ash, but without killing anyone.

The excursion begins with the rise to the conquest of Mount Somma: after the first 500 meters of the asphalted path in the shade of the pines, nature becomes wild with oak trees, alder, chestnut; the path of black lava earth will lead us all the way accompanied by the constant sparkle of the earth: taking a handful of pebbles you can understand that they are a small part of the hundreds of minerals produced by volcanic eruptions. Mount Somma is basically the remnant of a large volcano, out of which the peak cone of Mount Vesuvius has grown. A beautiful view of the Gulf of Naples can also be seen.
Then we will continue and we will reach the Hells Valley: here we will see the ways in which nature is reacting to the fires that have just happened, creating new life in an inhospitable place.
After admiring the top of the crater of mount Vesuvius from afar, we will come back by the same road to the starting point.
