Rationale
Miseno, together with all the Campi Flegrei area, is one of the most singular and authentic sites in the world for:
- Geomorphology: it is a big, still active, volcanic area (also called “super-volcano”)
- Orography: presence of hills, rocky areas (Falsie) and flat areas (bays)
- Landscape, environmental and naturalistic heritage:
Capo Miseno
Lago Miseno
Baia Park (oasi WWF)
- Archaeological heritage:
Archaeological Park of Baia
Aragonese Castle of Baia
Roman theatre
Roman military harbour
Piscina Mirabilis
- Thermal area:
Terme Puteolane
Stufe di Nerone
The strength of the area is strictly linked to this factors, which have to be promoted and valorized in order to defend his identity.

A Landscape System Analysis
A.1 Landscape layers and their system context
Geomorphology, landscape units and coastal typology
Miseno is a volcanic origin region with six volcano in state of quiescence: the most ancient (35.000-10.500 years ago) are: Capo Miseno, Porto di Miseno and the one which goes from Punta del Poggio to Centocamerelle; the new ones (10.500-8000 years ago) are: two craters called Fondi of Baia and the Baia harbor.
There are no precise information about the volcanic birth date of the site: according to some experts, it dates back to 100.000, to some others it dates back to 2 million years ago. For sure, 35.000 years ago a big eruption caused the emission of pyroclastic materials, giving birth to Campanian Ignimbrite (Grey Neapolitan Tuff) which constituted the structure of the caldera. Following to the eruption a subsidence of the Archifelgreo took place, generating volcanic lakes in some cases. Since then, there have been several others, giving birth to new monogenic craters.
From a morphological point of view, there is an alternation of high and low topographic, due to the presence of monogenic volcanic centres, partly collapsed and/or buried under the deposits of the subsequent eruption. The sea and the Braidism phenomenon (slow vertical earth movement, ascendant or descendent, due to magma’s pressure) have changed in time the morphology inducing a series of slow and inexorable transformations. The territory is mostly hilly, except for the western and southern cost and the area around Miseno Lake, which are flat.
Land use
Miseno and Baia are areas that have been colonized by ancient romans: in Miseno they built a military harbor, stores, tanks of the Piscina Mirabilis and Cento Camerelle, and a military school while Baia was exploited for the presence of thermal waters.
During the mediaeval age this area was used just for the thermal system of Baia and Pozzuoli.
From 1600 to 1900 Jewish families, expelled from Naples, stationed along roman streets.
The settlements system rapidly expanded after the Second World War, especially from 80’s on: the regeneration process involved the construction of new buildings, new streets and new public equipment. However, at the same time, the abusiveness phenomenon started taking place, not just related to residential buildings but also for commercial purposes (restaurants, hotels, bathing facilities). The wellbeing issue is not only proportional to the increase in the demand of new services, but also to the satisfaction of the existing needs (overcrowded or sick districts).
The productive activities are linked to agriculture, fishing, shipbuilding activities in Baia, small crafts. The economy is strictly linked to seasonal activities: bathing, restoration and recreational boating.
The system of public facilities responds in an adequate manner to the demand for schools and equipment of public interest but there is a big lack in green areas, parking lots and areas devoted to recreational activities (sports). Mobility is one of the crucial issues to solve: the territory faces a strong summer congestion due to the assault by the commuters; moreover, there is the necessity to provide a rapid exit route in case of natural calamities (bradisimo or volcanic eruptions).
Green/blue infrastructure

Visual appearance and landscape narrative
- Which elements are essential for the landscape character?
The coast area is characterised by the color of yellow tufaceous rock, with high cliffs and vulcanic craters facing the sea. This morphology favored the human settlements by the sea, as evinced by the several archaeological remains. The sea-related activities are still a key part of the area's economy.
- Has the landscape been painted or otherwise depicted, when and whom? Which elements are essential?
- Which narratives exist? Who has written about this landscape or depicted it in some way?
The fascination of this "locus amaenus" digs its roots in ancient times. Capo Miseno itself is named after Misenus, Aenea's comrade in the "Eneid" by Virgilius. Plyny the Elder as well referred to the area in his "Naturalis Historiae", describing the coast between Pozzuoli and Cuma.
Cape Miseno was a key spot for the Roman military activity in the Gulf of Naples. Its lighthouse is still an important reference point for local navigation. The picture shows how the surrounding vineyards have been replaced by villas.
Miseno and Baia Coast are well known residential areas since the Roman Empire, and inspired foreign painters as well. Painting by Anton Sminck Pitloo

The industrial characterization of the site (from 1950 to 1970) brought to consider the natural and archaeological pre-existing heritage as a weakness rather than a strength. Only few years ago cultural heritage has been seen as a real development opportunity. For this reason, still now:
- The system of cultural heritage is fragmented, low promoted and devaluated
- All the cultural sites are not linked
- Touristic and accommodation offer is (quantitatively and qualitatively) low developed for both hotel accommodations and related services
The aim is to define a strategy of possible and sustainable development in order to transform the existing in a resource from an economic and social point of view. It’ necessary to:
- Increase links between strategic spots inside the area and with the outside
- Predispose and organize the incoming doors (touristic harbours, stations, parking areas)
- Defend biodiversity
- Incentive the construction of an regional ecological net and to management of ambient risk and in particular seismic risk
