I love mentions of Cuma. It's a sublime, simple site, definitely worth an afternoon's stroll. It's also the birthplace of the alphabet that we are writing and reading here! That inspires me for no good reason. It's just amazing that this came out of a tiny colonial city on the edge of paradise. p.s. The bay of Naples in general is just overwhelming with dense human history. As this article notes, the city center has basically been under continuous inhabitation for 3000 years. You can feel it everywhere!
