I suspect I was there later than you. I lived in the country for about seven years, with frequent side trips elsewhere.

There was an amusement park in Napoli on Viale Kennedy that I used to drive by all the time, but I never went in there, it was called Edenlandia, I think--the kids liked it. And of course, there was the USN-run Carney Park that was sited in a volcano--swimming, golf, baseball, that sort of thing.
