General Aspects: On its famous bay, with the smaller Gulf of Pozzuoli to the west and to the southeast - the more extended indentation of the Gulf of Salerno--the city is situated between two areas of volcanic activity: Mount Vesuvius to the east and the Campi Flegrei (Phlegraean Fields) to the northwest.
Succumbing at last to the Lombard power established at Capua and Benevento, Naples saw the Lombards turned away by the Norman conquests that swept southern Italy in the 12th century. Including also Naples in that turbulent times, the region was changed hands from the Norman to the Swabian dominion which elevated the metropolis to a regional and cultural capital throughout the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
Boccaccio's prose novel Elegia di Madonna Fiammetta (1343-44) and the same named brigata member Fiammetta have many ties to the city of Naples. We can see in the story list that she tells three stories that use Naples as the setting.
