Nola is a city and comune of Campania, southern Italy, in province of Naples, situated in the plain between Mount Vesuvius and the Apennines. It is served by the Circumvesuviana railway from Naples.
Nola in Bronze Age times was the site of a settlement that has yielded evidence of the destructive power of an eruption by the Mount Vesuvius between 1700 BC and 1600 BC the Avellino eruption. Excavations revealed extensive evidence of a small village abandoned quickly by its occupants at the time of the eruption so that a wide range of pottery and other artifacts were left behind to survive with the imprint of buildings in the mud from the eruption.
