Check out these stunning DVOW nominated film of Italy's Amalfi Coast, compliments of top AirVuz contributor and pilot CG Films.  The coastline consists of a series of towns on the southern coast of the Sorrentine Peninsula in Sorrento, one of the provinces of the southern Campania region.   The westernmost of these towns is Positano, while the easternmost of the chain is called Vietri sul Mare and is just west of Salerno at the base of the peninsula.  Since 1997, the towns of the Amalfi Coast have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  

Contributor lacikun1972 created this marvelous aerial tour of the area around Naples, Italy.  Naples is situated in the Campania region, which is basically the "shin" of Italy.  It's the center of the country's third-largest metropolitan area and the principal city of Southern Italy.  Naples is also one of the oldest continuously settled cities in all of Europe; in its present form, it dates to the 6th century BC.  The video features footage from the city itself as well as surrounding areas on the Gulf of Naples.  

While the Italian region of Campania is known more for its coastline, a portion of the province is covered by the Apennine Mountains.  Witness this highly cinematic drone video from AirVuz contributor CG Films.   It was filmed on the slopes of Mt. Cervati, a peak of the Apennines in the province of Salerno.  It's part of the historical region of Cilento, which covers much of the central and southern parts of the province.  The mountain has a peak elevation of about 1.9k meters above sea level or around 6.1k ft.  

Explore Italy's Amalfi Coast from above in this video by AirVuz contributor effederico, which was picked as a Drone Video of the Week Finalist in April of 2024.  At around the :25 mark, there's a nice pull-out shot from the town of Atrani, towards the eastern end of the Amalfi Coast.  The video concludes with shots of the town of Amalfi itself, just a bit to the west.  The Amalfi Coast covers the southern side of the Sorrentine Peninsula, a short distance southeast of the city of Naples in the region of Campania.  

Check out this magnificent aerial video of Naples, the principal city in the southern part of Italy.  The capital of the Campania, it's generally considered Italy's #3 city after Rome and Milan.  It's situated on the northern shore of the Gulf of Naples, which opens on to the Tyrrhenian Sea, part of the Mediterranean.  Shot on a crystal-clear day, you'll get a great view of Mt. Vesuvius in the background.  The volcano famously erupted in 79 AD and is considered one of the most dangerous in Europe.  

Enjoy these marvelous aerial views of Italy's famed Amalfi Coast, compliments of top contributor eCKsplorer.  The video opens with shots of the town of Amalfi, the coast's namesake, which lies roughly in the middle of the southern side of the Sorrentine Peninsula in the southern region of Campania.  At the :18 mark, you'll see the famous bridge of the Fiordo di Furore, just west of Amalfi.  Starting at the :40 mark, you'll see the iconic town of Positano, near the western end of the coastline, and at 1:03 you'll see the town of Atrani.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist Laurent Paris brings us this stunning drone video from Italy's Amalfi Coast.  Most of the video was filmed in the hills which line this stretch of coastline on the southern side of the Sorrentine Peninsula south of Naples, on the Tyrrhenian Sea (an inlet of the Mediterranean) in the region of Campania.  At about the 1:00 mark, there's a marvelous shot of the iconic town of Positano, which lies on the western end of the Amalfi Coast.  The Amalfi Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage site.  

Mt. Vesuvius (Vesuvio) in southern Italy is amongst the world's most important volcanoes from a historical perspective.  More or less dormant since the 1940's, it is credited with the most famous volcanic event in history.  In 79 AD, a major eruption more or less wiped out four major Roman towns, the most notable of which was Pompeii.  Contributor and pilot feola.mike used a DJI drone to create this beautiful video of the great mountain, still considered one of the more dangerous volcanoes on earth. 

If an award-winning content creator takes one of the world's best aerial platforms to perhaps the most beautiful spot in Italy, you would expect to see something special.  That is very much the case in this incredible production from contributor Gianlo, who used a DJI Inspire 2 drone mounted with a Zenmuse X7 camera to create this spectacular view of Italy's Amalfi Coast.  The colors of the grottos and villages of this stretch of coastline on the Gulf of Salerno south of Naples simply jump off the screen!

CH Drone created this epic drone video of the village of Sant' Angelo on the Italian island of Ischia.  This volcanic island lies in the northwestern approaches to the Gulf of Naples, the opposite end of the Gulf from the better known Capri.  The island is mostly covered in mountains but is ringed by small fishing villages.  CH Drone's video, shot with a DJI Phantom 4 drone, captures Sant' Angelo, the main town on the island's southern coast.  It's part of the province of Naples in the Campania Region.  

Italy's Amalfi Coast, a legendary stretch of coastline on the Tyrrhenian Sea (an extension of the Mediterranean Sea) south of Naples, has some of the most spectacular scenery in the country.  As a honeymoon destination, it is hard to beat.  Which is why top AirVuz contributor and pilot Hamza Mujtaba took his wife there for a surprise honeymoon.  Thankfully he also took along his DJI Mavic Pro drone, allowing him to create this epic aerial tour of this Mediterranean paradise in southern Italy.  

Check out this magnificent drone video of two of the most well known spots in the Salerno Province of Southern Italy, compliments of tripartiste. The first is the town of Positano, the most famous of the towns along the stretch of coastline on the south side of the Sorrentine Peninsula which is known as the Amalfi Coast.  The other location featured in the video is the ancient town of Paestum, an ancient Greek settlement on the "mainland" part of Salerno, southeast of the Amalfi Coast.

Less well known than Rome's Colosseum, the Capua Amphitheater in Santa Maria Capua Vetere (ancient Capua) was the second-largest Roman amphitheater.  The town is situated due north of Naples, in Italy's Caserta province (which forms a part of the Campania region).  Built in the first century BC, the amphitheater was the scene of many important events in the Roman Republic and the Empire.  In this video, contributor feola.mike captures these ancient ruins brilliantly with a DJI Phantom 4 drone.   

Capri is a small island near the Bay of Naples off the coast of Southern Italy's Campania region.  It lies in the Tyrrhenian Sea, an extension of the Mediterranean.   It is an island known not only for cultural sites but a world-reknowned sailing and yachting scene, and is a playground for Europe's super rich.  Contributor Paradise Picnic Photography used a DJI Mavic drone to create an amazing aerial portrait of this Mediterranean paradise, which has been known as a "vacation" destination since Roman times.

Contributor Franxifra created this amazing aerial video of Templi dei Paestum, one of the most significant ruins sites of Southern Italy.  Paestrum was an ancient city built by the Greeks in what is now the Salerno province of Campania.  The core of the site is three very well preserved temples, two of which (the Hera temples) are shown in the video.  The temples are believed to have been built sometime between 500-600 BC, and relate to a Doric order which is distinguished by the design of the column tops.

Here is a beautiful bird's eye view of a beautiful area of the province of Salerno in southern Italy.  Pioppi is a coastal town in the Cilento portion of Salerno, which is part of the region of Campania in the "shin" part of the Italian "boot".  Just inland from Poppi is the Parco Nazionale del Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park.  One of the largest national parks in Italy, it's also a UNESCO World Heritage site. The drone video of the two idyllic spots is compliments of contributor franxifra.  

Contributor feola.mike created this beautiful drone video of Casertavecchia, a very old village in the Southern Italian province of Caserta (part of the Campania Region).  It is situated in the mountainous interior of the province, well away from its coastline on the Tyrrhenian Sea.  It's believed that the town dates to the 9th century AD.  The village passed under Lombard, Saracen, Norman, Swabian, Aragonese control, and later was the scene of a key battle in the War of Italian Independence.  

ShootMee created this beautiful drone video of Capri, one of the most legendary Mediterranean islands.  It sits at the southern approaches to the Bay of Naples, in the Campania region.  The island was bitterly contested during the Napoleonic Wars, changing hands three times during the period 1806-08 and being heavily damaged in the process.  Beginning in the late 1800's, it became one of the most well-known artist colonies in Europe, earnings reference in many works of literature.

CG Videoediting gives us a first-class aerial tour of the magical Cilento coast in southern Italy. Often contrasted with the popular Amalfi coast, the Cilento coast is further south and known less for it's crowds and more for it's hospitality, pristine water, and famous ruins. The area is home to Paestum, an ancient Greek city with some of the world's best preserved temples, as well as the charming seafront town of Ascea; both are featured in this video showcasing the coast, named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1998.

Contributor Matteo_Lifestyle used a drone to aerially film an important work of 18th century engineering in Southern Italy.  It's called the Aqueduct of Vanvitelli (also known as the Caroline Aqueduct) and it was built to provide the nearby Royal Palace of Caserta with water.  Completed in 1762, the aqueduct draws from the Taburno Camposauro mountain masif and directs water to the palace, one of the largest in Europe.  The aqueduct and palace are located in the province of Caserta, in the region of Campania.    

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist CG Films brings us this excellent video from a beautiful spot in the mountains of southern Italy.  Created with drone (including first person view (FPV) drone shots) and ground camera footage, the video was filmed in the area around the Le gole del Calore, a waterfall-laden stream near the village of Felitto in Salerno, one of the provinces of the region of Campania.  It's part of the sub-region of Cilento, which covers much of th central and southern parts of Salerno.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist CG Films brings us this outstanding drone video from the Laceno recreational area in southern Italy.  The area includes a lake and ski area in Laceno, one of the inland provinces of the region of Campania.  The area is located within the Picentini Mountains, which form part of the larger Appenine Mountains chain that runs down the "spine" of Peninsular Italy.  The lake itself is actually much smaller than it was prior to being partially drained into holes created by a large 1980 earthquake.

Positano is one of the most well-recognized of the towns along Italy's Amalfi Coast, a stretch of Tyrrhenian Sea coastline on the south side of the Sorrentine Peninsula in the Campania Region.  Settled since Roman times, in recent decades Positano has been transformed from a sleepy fishing village into one of Italy's top destinations.  In this drone video by ViDeo Creator jP, you'll get a bird's eye view of this iconic town, which has been used as a filming location for numerous feature movies, including Under the Tuscan Sun (2003).

AirVuz contributor AN-DRONE used a DJI Mavic Air 2 to create this aerial tour of the southern Italian city of Salerno.  Capital of its namesake province in the Campania Region, Salerno is located on the Gulf of Salerno on the Tyrrhenian Sea.  Settled since pre-historic times, Salerno's connection to Rome through the Via Popilia helped turn it into a thriving commercial center during the Antiquity.   In recent years, it's become a major tourist hub, situated at the center of a triangle formed by Pompei, Paestum and Positano.

AirVuz contributor HendrikW brings us these excellent drone views of a pair of idyllic spots in the Campania Region of southern Italy: the town of Sorrento and the Isle of Capri.  Sorrento is the westernmost town of the Amalfi Coast, a chain of historic port towns on the southern side of the Sorrentine Peninsula, south of Naples.  The Isle of Capri lies just a few km/mi west of Sorrento, in the Tyrrhenian Sea.  A resort since the times of the Roman Republic, Capri is known for its rugged coastline and spectacular offshore rock formations.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist CG Films brings us this stunning drone video from the Italian seaside town of Palinuro.  The town lies on the north side of a small cape of the same name on the Tyrennian Sea in Salerno, the southernmost province of the region of Campania.  The town is known for its beaches as well as the caves that line the coast here.  "Palinuro" derives its name from "Palinurus", the helmsman of the Trojan War hero Aeneas, as told in the Latin epic poem the Aeneid by Virgil.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist CG Films brings us this excellent drone video from the beach of Punta Licosa in southern Italy.  It's part of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano, and Alburni National Park in the Cilento, a region covering the central and southern parts of the province of Salerno in the region of Campania.  The video, which includes some amazing first person view (FPV) drone shots, features footage of the beach, the lighthouse at the tip of the point, and the surrounding Tyrrhenian Sea. 

Here's a beautiful aerial look at the area around the town of Vairano Patenora in Southern Italy, compliments of contributor Wanama209.  The town lies in the province of Caserta, which is part of the Campania region.  This territory is some of the longest-settled in all of Europe.  The video features footage of the town itself as well as the 18th century Borgo di Marzanello Vecchio and the 12th century Castello Medievale di Vairano Patenora.  All lie within an hour drive north of Naples.  

Take in these marvelous aerial views of Italy's Royal Palace of Caserta, compliments of AirVuz contributor Mario Penny.  Located about 25 mi. (around 40 km) north of Naples in the region of Campania, the palace was built for the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies in the 18th century.   The Baroque masterpiece is the largest royal residence in the world, covering over half a million square ft. (just under 50k square m).  The palace "played the role" of the Theed City Naboo Palace in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999). 

This drone video of a VERY high-end power yacht will get your attention.  Mrinab was able to get a drone over the superyacht OASIS as it was cruising off of Italy's Amalfi coast.  With multiple sundecks, sophisticated communications gear, and a giant collapsable slide, this watercraft strains the definition of the word "boat".  Prepare to be dazzled by the epic views of this stunning white boat as it plies the deep blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, which is an extension of the Mediterranean.

Get a first person view (FPV) drone tour of the fabled Italian seaside town of Positano in this fantastic video by AirVuz contributor CataFpv.  A holiday getaway spot since the time of the Roman Republic, Positano is one of the main towns on the Amalfi Coast, a legendary stretch of coastline on the Gulf of Salerno (part of the Tyrrhenian Sea, itself an inlet of the Mediterranean) a bit to the southeast of the city of Naples.  This video was picked for the FPV Pilots to Watch list in October of 2022.      

AiVuz contributor Mario Penny brings us this excellent drone video of the Piazza del Plebiscito, a major public square in the Italian city of Naples.  The square is named after the plebiscite of 1860 which unified the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies with the Kingdom of Italy, one of the most important steps in the creation of the modern State of Italy.  The "star" of the video is the San Francesco di Paola church, on the western side of the square.  Completed in 1816, it was designed to resemble the Pantheon in Rome.  

AirVuz contributor Michele Ciancio gravitycam.it brings us this excellent drone video of the Italian island of Procida, which lies in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of the Campania Region near Naples.  It is the second largest of the Phlegraean archipelago (the largest of which is Ischia), and the closest to the mainland.  Just over 4 square km (about 1.25 square mi.), Procida has over 10,000 full-time residents, making it one of the most densely populated islands in the Mediterranean region.  

Former Drone Video of the Week Finalist CG Films brings us this excellent drone video of a mountain in southern Italy called Monte Cervati.  Situated in the province of Salerno in the region of Campania, the peak is part of the Apennine Mountains, which runs down the "spine" of peninsular Italy.  The mountain has a peak altitude of around 6.2k ft. above sea level, or around 1.9k m.  Monte Cervati is the second-highest mountain in Campania, after Monte Miletto, which lies partly in the neighboring region of Abruzzo.    

Castel Sant'Elmo is a famous fortress which overlooks the port city of Naples, Italy.  Seen from above in this drone video by dronemagic, it's situated atop Vomero Hill, just west of the Naples city center.  The fortification originally dates to the 13th century.   Heavily damaged by an earthquake in 1456, the structure was rebuilt as its present star configuration during the 16th century, when much of southern Italy was under the Crown of Aragon.  It later served as a prison, it continued to be a military property until the 1970's.  

Italy's Pompeii Archaeological Park marks the site of one of the most well-documented events of the Antiquity: the destruction of the city of Pompeii when nearby Mt. Vesuvius catastrophically erupted in 79 AD.  The explosion buried the city and several surrounding towns under 4-6 meters (13-20 ft.) of volcanic ash, instantly killing all of its 10k+ inhabitants.  Located in the (southern) Campania region just outside of the city of Naples, the archaeological park can be seen from above in this drone video by mikyciancio.  

If you want to know why the Amalfi Coast is one of Italy's top destinations, check out this drone video of the village of Praiano by contributor matteo_lifestyle.  Praiano is situated roughly in the middle of the famed coastline which sits just south of the Gulf of Naples in Salerno, a province of the Campania region.  Situated just to the southeast of the better-known (and more crowded) town of Positano, Praio's main attractions include the churches of Church of San Luca Evangelista and San Giovanni Battista.

The Sorrentine Peninsula is an appendage of mainland Italy which juts out westward into the Tyrrhenian Sea.  While it's perhaps best known for the Amalfi Coast line of towns on its southern (Gulf of Salerno) side, it's actually named after a town on its northern (Gulf of Naples) side: the town of Sorrento, which you'll see here in this drone video.  A very old town built into a hillside overlooking the water, Sorrento affords excellent views of Mt. Vesuvius, which you'll see at around the 2:25 mark.  

Brand-new contributor AFPHOTOLAB brings us this excellent drone video of tiny island in the Gulf of Naples in Italy's Campania region.  The islet is called the Rock of Rovigliano, and it's located in the commune of Torre Annunziata, just a bit south of the city of Naples.  Known during the Antiquity as the Rock of Hercules, the island has served as a Roman temple, a private residence, and a monastery.  The structure which currently sits atop the island is a 16th century fortress, constructed to defend against Arab pirate raids.  

Minori is one of the towns of Italy's Amalfi Coast, a famed stretch of coastline in the Salerno province of the country's Campania region.  The town lies at the head of the shallow bay which is the heart of the region, northeast of the town of Amalfi.  Minori is a very old town - it was known as a preferred vacation spots for Italy's well-born in the time of the Roman Republic and Empire.  Filmed on Good Friday, the video features footage of the town's main sights, including its Basilica di Santa Trofimena.
