About this photograph

This is a historic photograph taken in 1979 from Vesuvius towards Naples. The mountain shadow and distant urban area make it an archive landscape record. It does not show present-day paths, safety arrangements or the current extent of development, and it should not be used to choose a volcanic walking route.

This page preserves a distinct Italy photo archive. The image is a record of one place and moment; appearance, access and facilities may have changed. Its source and reuse licence are linked in the caption. Keep those attribution terms if reusing the photograph.

Plan a current visit

For broader composition, seasonal light and permitted access, use the Italy Photos & Photo Spots guide. Build a practical route with Map & Regions and the Italy Travel Guide. Check the relevant venue or local authority before a visit; this archive does not provide current opening hours, admission prices or a booking service.

Travel Tip: Use the photograph to study composition, then choose a safe and permitted position under the conditions of your actual visit.
