Ep. 44: Discovering Italy’s Atlantis: Baia and the Sybil’s Cave at Cuma (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Joseph Walker, author of Buried Italy and the voice behind Italian History with Joseph , spent the early 1990s exploring the submerged Roman resort of Baia and harvesting grapes in the ancient amphitheater at Cuma. Before Baia had snorkeling schools and glass-bottom boats, Joseph Walker was hiring a local fisherman to take him out into the Gulf of Pozzuoli and swimming down into what turned out to be the nymphaeum of Claudius and Nero.

Now, as I prepare to hit send, I’m sitting with Arianna, my business partner, technically a 4th cousin, and, in every other way, my sister. We have decided to offer a small group experience in late October. The reason? The property’s olive trees come in every other year; this year, we’ll have a harvest and make olive oil.
