Covered with dense woods, Mount Tifata was dedicated to Diana the huntress goddess, Artemis of the Greeks, who introduced its cult among the coastal cities first and then in the hinterlands as their influence among indigenous peoples increased. The Etruscans then extended their dominion in the area and erected the federal sanctuary of the Etruscan cities in Campania, dedicating it to Diana Tifatina.
A path through the green of the chestnut trees that from the center of Roccamonfina reaches the summit of Mount Lattani, in the heart of the ancient caldera of the now extinct volcano. Not only a splendid walk in nature, to conquer the spectacular views of the nearest mountains, up to the Matese and, even further, to the Phlegraean coast. But the ascent to a place of history and faith: the sanctuary of Holy Mary of the Lattani.
