  Explores the home of pizza, seeking out the pleasures of chic Positano and the Amalfi Coast, where Mount Vesuvius towers over the fantasy garden frescoes of Pompeii - visits the ravishing landscape of Capri - takes a trip round vibrant Naples, with its world-famous restaurants and nightlife For most of us today, the biggest attraction of all in the Mezzogiorno, (Italy's 'Noonday') is obvious enough.
