Hot air balloon rides to discover the treasures of Campania and Sicily from above.

Rediscover a region with new eyes: slowly, from above, with emotion. This is the promise of "Volare sull'Arte," an initiative promoting sustainable and authentic tourism, featuring short hot air balloon rides that (for now) allow you to discover many of the hidden treasures of Campania and Sicily. In the silence that envelops the skies of Campania and Sicily, "Volare sull'Arte" transforms every glance into wonder. Among the clouds, in a hot air balloon, you have the exclusive privilege of admiring the historical and artistic beauties from a unique perspective, suspended in the air. The first two experiential free-flight adventures available include tastings of delicacies that tell the story of the land, magical nights in residences that whisper history, guided explorations that reveal secrets, and intimate encounters with museum treasures.

Flying Over Art - Sicily, Etna Badlands

In Campania, a flight caresses the Volturno Valley, a verdant jewel nestled between majestic peaks and fairytale-like medieval villages, to admire the Via Francigena from above. This initiative is organized by Volare sull'Arte in partnership with the Municipality of Alife (Caserta), local accommodations, and Love Matese, creating a joint tourism offering.

In Sicily, your gaze wanders over endless, soul-stirring panoramas, from the majestic, fiery Mount Etna to the mysterious ravines. The take-off point is breathtaking: within the Cannizzola ravines. Thanks to an agreement with the Municipality of Centuripe (EN), you can experience this area from a unique perspective, involving local tourism operators.

Flying Over Art - Borgo di Centuripe

The balloon, tethered to the ground with safety ropes, can gently rise up to 20 meters, offering exclusive views of places where art dances with the landscape, embraces archaeology, and embraces history. This traveling experience finds its home each month in an enchanted garden overlooking the Campanian Amphitheater of Santa Maria Capua Vetere, the second colossus of antiquity after the Colosseum, legendary for hosting the first gladiatorial duels and intimately connected to the saga of Spartacus. Each flight is an opportunity to discover a lesser-known yet profoundly authentic Italy, where hospitality is still a value and every encounter becomes a story. The initiative is aimed at Italian and international travelers, art and nature enthusiasts, seeking authentic flavors and new emotions. Maximum safety is guaranteed, thanks to ENAC (Italian National Civil Aviation Authority)-certified pilots and rigorous maintenance protocols, and each flight is covered by specific insurance, offering passengers complete peace of mind while enjoying the thrill of floating in the sky. Flights—whether uncontrolled or controlled—offer unique perspectives on villages, landscapes, and cultural heritage, far from the beaten track of mass tourism, thanks to collaboration with local organizations and communities to create experiences that leave a lasting impression: authentic, profound, and memorable. Because every place deserves to be described with respect, and every journey can become art. (www.volaresullarte.com)
