There's an ancient temple* without windows or doors,
where the beautiful goddess Hera held her daily rites;
she looked up and saw golden clouds and heard the sweet echo of delightful moans,
wishing for her handsome lover's face to appear and appease her fervent desires.
Isn't it also your dream to spend a night there...engaging in sensuality?
And looking above as she did, you'll lose yourself in my exciting whispers;
and all the erotic words coming from this mouth, are the same as Eros's...
eagerly waiting for the deepest silence to arrive, then break it suddenly.
Where could we find another place more perfect than this...where winds don't hiss?
Here, the balmy breeze is brought in by a sea that inspires lovers to weave dreams,
and they without the fear of being seen, explore their warm bodies emitting screams;
speak no words,let me fill your night with pleasure...taste the sweetness of my kiss!
Temple*-The Temple of Hera is in Paestum, Campania-
Southern Italy

Has anyone ever seen the fertile Felix Ager,
which the Romans called, " The happy land?
Along the astonishing coastline are found:
the odorous lemon, orange and pine trees
that overlook the limpid and calm Tyrrean sea!
Feel the warmest breeze and breath the freshest air!
I was the boy from Campania, vibrant and restless,
exploring landscapes and valleys...climbing cliffs;
I wasn't born to be a poet, but I became one by the presence of beauty!
Lay down on a lustrous meadow and wait for the breath-taking sunset:
you'll see creation unfolding itself under brush's strokes of the Masters!
How can anyone not be impressed and moved by such a majesty!
I will lead you by hand to all the places you have never seen:
to hills and mounts towered by picturesque towns with fortresses and castles;
Naples,Amalfi,Sorrento,Positano,Ischia,Capri and Gaeta are the jewels of this pristine sea!
Take that long journey with me: you'll be utterly breathless,
and appreciate Nature with a keener understanding and dwell here like others did!
Drink the sparkling water of the purest springs and eat the fruits of my amazing land!
