An enchanting Italian landscape near Naples unfolds before your eyes. In the background, the serene Gulf of Naples and the majestic Island of Ischia with the towering Epomeo volcano create a breathtaking vista. The foreground is dominated by the ancient ruins of a Roman aqueduct, telling tales of history long past. To the right, a road paved with large stones leads your gaze to a distant monastery perched atop a hill. On this road, a priest stands in conversation with a man accompanied by two loyal dogs, adding life to this picturesque scene.
