Neapolitan beauty, picture-postcard sunsets and high-level mixology meet in 5 wonderful places that the MT Magazine editorial team has carefully selected for a dream stay in one of the most beautiful regions of Italy.
The editorial staff of MT Magazine this week talks to you about Campania, there are many places to visit, so we decided to select some for the summer season and to help you better orient yourself we will point out below some of the locations designed for your holidays: from the cocktail bars that are located in the splendid setting of the city of Caserta, passing through Naples and the hinterland, up to the beauty of the clubs on the coast.
Clandestine Roots
In the center of Caserta there is a cocktail bar full of light and vitality, like its name itself Clandestine Roots. A perfect combination that, in just two words, encapsulates the place's philosophy of life: Roots, because knowledge of tradition allows us to explore new territories and grow; and Clandestine, because that same knowledge leads to an open mind that breaks down any barrier of prejudice, inhibition or freedom. The latest drink list curated by Bar Manager John Bologna is about this, a return to the classic in a modern and minimal way. The signature cocktails take inspiration from the eighteenth-century atmosphere of the garden of the Royal Palace of Caserta, a sensational leap into the past to discover something more about our present. Among aromatic plants and flowers, the possibility of drinking a cocktail that seems to be picked in a garden is unique and emotional, you will feel like you are going back in time and detaching yourself from reality for a moment.
