Baia e Latina is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Caserta in the Italian region Campania, located about 50km (30miles) north of Naples and about 25km (16miles) northwest of Caserta.
The town hall is located in the locality called Baia, Latina is a former hamlet now part of the inhabited center; therefore it is not a scattered municipality. Baia Latina borders the following municipalities: Alife, Dragoni, Pietravairano, Roccaromana, Sant'Angelo d'Alife. It was once formed by two separate settlements, Baia and Latina, but over time the two merged.
The origins of Baia Latina are uncertain and, historically, its name appears in 979 in the bull of Santo Stefano di Caiazzo.According to Marciano Rossi, the ancient (Baia) was an Etruscan colony, a hypothesis perhaps confirmed by the discovery of amphorae, depicted in the Latin Goddess.Latina was, on the other hand, a colony because of the Vayardis settled there.
The economy is based on agriculture (cereals, fodder, vegetables, grapes), on breeding (mainly cattle and buffaloes) with the production of milk and derivatives. In the area the Terre del Volturno [4] wines are produced in the white, red and rosé varieties.
