The links at "What links here" give an idea of the range this entry should cover. Anyone ready to make a start? --Wetman 07:44, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up required

As being neapolitan i found this article close to atrocious. What relevance has in a geographic article the football teams of the region? What are m'gliatiegghij' and sammuchij'? The guy who wrote it has a very relative knowledge of neapolitan terms.--Raffaele Megabyte 19:39, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

This article needs a major overhaul! It rambles, is sometimes poorly translated, and many statements are unsourced, PoV or simply not important. I've started to clean up- so far only the intro and demographics. Any assistance would be appreciated. Mariokempes 00:19, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree with this, after having worked on Sicily's article for a while (still not fully done), this is an article I'd really like to help improve. - Animagentile (talk) 06:41, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Friarielli

I wonder whether friarielli is the same as broccoli di rape. Some websites indicate that the term "friarielli" is just a regional term for broccoli di rape. On google images, though, it looks a little different. Any one know?72.78.11.48 (talk) 13:06, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved from main article

I'm planning to fully overhaul the history section and fully develop it, the current history section devotes 80% to a particularly non notable part of its history and its more of a hindrence than a help in me trying to write this. So I'm moving it here. - Gennarous (talk) 17:45, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I'll delete the redundant parts of the old history from the talk when that part is covered. Noted, I know currently "The Kingdom" section is directly lifted from the Naples article; this will be adapted to fit Campania as a wider base soon, as especially Caserta was important to the Bourbons. - Gennarous (talk) 23:29, 21 April 2008 (UT

Goths and the Byzantine Empire struggled for control during the 5th and 6th centuries, followed by the Lombards, who established the Duchy of Benevento. The Normans (Robert Guiscard) conquered and re-unified Campania during the 11th and 12th centuries, seizing southern Italy from the Byzantines, forming the Kingdom of Sicily. After the Hohenstaufen confrontation with the Papacy, the kingdom passed to Charles of Anjou who retained his mainland territories after he lost Sicily (1282) as the Kingdom of Naples, reunited with Sicily by Alfonso V of Aragon (1442) who styled himself the 'King of Two Sicilies', a title that was subsequently revived during the Spanish domination (1504 – 1713) of both kingdoms. The Bourbons succeeded in 1713: prior to the unification of Italy, Campania formed part of the Bourbon Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
