When we got there we switched platforms and waited <strong>35 minutes<\/strong> for the rest of our classmates who were not there at 8:30. At one point, two of my peers boarded a different train, leaving the rest wondering if they were ahead of us or completely lost. <strong>Eventually, everyone reunited and continued the trip together<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Circumvesuviana train experience<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <strong>Circumvesuviana train<\/strong> is different from what I am used to in the United States. The windows are open, the <strong>ride is shaky<\/strong>, and the <strong>scenery constantly changes<\/strong> between <strong>underground tunnels<\/strong> and <strong>views above ground<\/strong>. Although the journey was long and confusing, the train ride offered a different view from Sorrento.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48adf84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"48adf84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Arriving at Ercolano with my class\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1446b9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f1446b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we finally arrived in <strong>Ercolano<\/strong>, we walked through streets lined with <strong>cafes<\/strong> and <strong>small businesses<\/strong> before making our way towards the <strong>archaeological site<\/strong>. Walking with thirty students was almost an attraction itself. We found ourselves constantly blocking sidewalks and apologizing to people trying to get past us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From an <strong>elevated platform<\/strong>, we looked down at the ruins of ancient <strong>Herculaneum<\/strong>. This was cool. Many of my classmates were surprised because we did not expect to see them. The <strong>ancient Roman<\/strong> <strong>town<\/strong>, otherwise known as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Herculaneum<\/strong>, was <strong>destroyed in 79AD<\/strong> when <strong>Mount Vesuvius erupted<\/strong>. Unlike <strong>Pompeii<\/strong>, Herculaneum <strong>was buried under layers of volcanic mud and ash<\/strong> which preserved the buildings. Archaeologists first believed the city was abandoned, but later they discovered hundreds of skeletons near the shoreline, waiting to be rescued. The coast was their only escape but as they waited many of them died instantly from the pyroclastic flows that swept down the mountain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although we did not walk through the ruins, standing above them and hearing their history it felt like we did. It was crazy to imagine an entire city that remained hidden beneath the ground for centuries. It makes me wonder if there&#8217;s more cities that haven\u2019t been discovered yet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-114b50a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"114b50a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Radio Sinai<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22ab994 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"22ab994\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After leaving the ruins, we walked about fifteen minutes to <strong>Radio Sinai<\/strong>. Today, the building serves as an <strong>anti-mafia radio<\/strong> station, but it once belonged to <strong>Giovanni Birra<\/strong>. Giovanni Birra was a <strong>boss of the Camorra<\/strong>, a <strong>criminal organization that operated throughout the Naples area<\/strong>. The <strong>station opened in 2009<\/strong> and was created by residents of <strong>Ercalano<\/strong> who wanted to promote stories about culture and community instead of violence and organized crime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The station is named after <strong>Giancarlo Siani<\/strong>, an investigative <strong>journalist<\/strong> who was <strong>murded by the Camorra in 1985<\/strong> at only twenty-six years old. He had spent years reporting on organized crime and local politics. His work exposed connections that some people wanted to keep hidden. Even though decades have passed since his death, his name continues to represent journalism and resistance against organized crime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walking into the building felt eerie. Before reaching the studio, many of my peers wondered about the people who had once lived there and how different the atmosphere must have been when the property belonged to the mafia boss. Upstairs, however, the mood changed. What once had been associated with crime had been transformed into a place dedicated to education and community. In many ways, that transformation reflected Ercolano itself; a city that has repeatedly rebuilt and reinvented itself throughout history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later, we returned to the <strong>museum<\/strong>, where lunch was prepared by a local organization. After spending the <strong>day learning about destruction and violence<\/strong>, ending with hospitality felt fitting. <strong>Ercolano\u2019s story is not only about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius or the influence of the Camorra<\/strong>, it is also about the people who continue to shape the city today.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <strong>trip back to Sorrento<\/strong> was just as chaotic as the journey there. More confusion over platforms sent us crossing bridges and changing directions. By the end of the day, keeping thirty students together felt like an accomplishment of its own. Yet somewhere between the missed trains, repeated roll-calls, ancient ruins, and anti-mafia activism, Ercalano revealed itself as more than a stop along the railway. It became a place where history is not locked away in museums, but woven into everyday life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5977d7d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5977d7d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-905e59a\" data-id=\"905e59a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b68fbe3 elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-pagination-position-outside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"b68fbe3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;both&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Carosello d&#039;immagini\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"off\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 3\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/aboutsorrento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ercalano-Day-trip--768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Piazza Salvatore Barbaro; A sign dedicated to singer Salvatore Barbaro, who was killed mistakenly by the Camorra in 2000\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"2 of 3\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/aboutsorrento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ercalano-Day-Trip-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"the garage: The foyer of the apartment complex where Radio Sinai is showcasing a garage entrance\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"3 of 3\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/aboutsorrento.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ercalano-Day-Trip-Photo-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"The ruins of the ancient town, Herculaneum\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tina Krasniqi\u00a0 Just a short ride away from Sorrento; if you are not traveling with a class of 30 people, you\u2019ll find Ercolano.
