CAMPANIA FELIX introduces the scholarly and academic public from a variety of disciplines to the rich traditions of Campania and the Phlegraean Fields. Covering both the ancient world & the afterlife of the traditions established in antiquity, which have continued to the modern day, focus is on the relationship between the topography of Campania, especially its volcanic nature, & the development of the mythological, literary & visual traditions of the region. The project was initiated under the auspicies of the National Endowment for the Humanities, Summer Seminar for College and University Teachers, for the  Seminar  Campania Felix: Nature, Art, and The Works of Man,  held in Naples and Cumae during the summer of 2000. Under the direction of Richard Monti of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Jean D'Amato Thomas of Northwestern State University.  The technical development was the work of David Knox, Michael Thomas, Michael Callac, Kathryn Richards, Chris White, and Seth DuBois.
