Our territory - history
Neapolis The Megaride island housed first greek colonists in the VII a.C.
The foundation of the city of Naples is closely linked to the myth of the siren Partenope.
A version of the myth says that the siren Partenope, vainly in love with the hero Ulysses, committed suicide by jumping into the sea from a cliff. His body was transported by the waves on the shores of Naples, where he would sort in his honor the city of Parthenope.
Other versions tell of the escape on the island of Megaris siren with a deadly greek, and the founding of the city by the couple.
From this myth comes from the definition of Partenopei who still today identifies the Neapolitans.

The feud included all the municipalities of the Vesuvius hinterland.

The city of Ottaviano has always suffered damage from the eruptions of Vesuvius: it was almost completely buried by the ashes of the eruption of Vesuvius in 1631, 1779 and 1906. During the first and second eruption almost missed that Octavian "was buried like Pompeii“. During third eruption the opulent Ottajano was almost completely destroyed by ash and lapilli as testified Matilde Serao just calling it “the new Pompeii”.
Even the terrible earthquake of November 1980 did ruin many religious and private buildings.
