The
promontories at both ends of the golf are extremely evident: to the left, on the
land on which the “Rione Terra” stands, is the Roman stronghold that
resisted Hannibal and, to the right, Capo Miseno, whose shape resembles a mound,
and which gave origin to the legend that places here the burial place of
Aeneas’ mythical trumpeter (Miseno) and, still to this day,
the area is named after him.
