Torre del Greco, which is also known as the “coral city” because of its ancient artisan tradition, is a thriving resort of the Gulf of Naples. It nestles on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius and is situated a short distance from the important cities of Castellammare di Stabia, Torre Annunziata and Ercolano. Torre del Greco is especially famous for being the place where Giacomo Leopardi spent the last years of his life and composed the popular poem “La Ginestra”, which celebrates the story of a lonely flower grown at the foothills of Mount Vesuvius.

Torre del Greco is home to two popular festivals: the so-called Festa dei Quattro Altari, which takes place in June on the occasion of Corpus Christi, and the Festival of Immacolata, which celebrates the popular belief according to which the Virgin Mary saved the city from a Vesuvius' eruption in 1861. During the popular Festa dei Quattro Altari, people divided into four districts (that is to say four altars) compete in the building of spectacular artistic sceneries.
