My Italian side of the family originally hails from the towns and cities that encircle Mt. Vesuvius. While visiting Naples, I walked towards Vesuvius from the Boscotrecase neighborhood. The road grew narrow and traversed lush, green vineyards. I walked for over an hour, and while I never made it to Vesuvius, I basked in the volcano’s fearsome, majestic presence as I walked towards it.
