But the most panoramic point of Posillipo is the Parco Vergiliano (Vergilius' Park) on the top of the hill. There, among trees and sports structures, your gaze can sweep the whole Gulf of Naples and over the Phlaegrean Fields. This panorama was so magnificent that it inspired the artistic production of a whole generation of landscape painters from the 19th century, who were known for the label of "Scuola di Posillipo" (Posillipo School) and gave a huge contribution to spread over the European aristocracy the myth of the natural beauties of Naples and its gulf.

Behind the Posillipo hill (and at the beginning of Phlaegrean Fields) there is finally the seafront of Bagnoli, the extreme edge of Naples on the west, which is today interested by an imposing project of recovery and reconversion, intended to give it back the extraordinary beauty it had before they installed here a foundry, during the years of industrialization and of the Italian boom. In some buildings of the old foundry it is located now the "Cittą della Scienza" (City of the Science), an effort to renovate the traditional idea of museum and mainly addressed to the students, in order to introduce them to new technologies.
