The “Centro Ingrosso and Sviluppo Campania” (CIS) in Nola represents one of the most important logistic and distribution centres in Europe. The same area hosts the Interporto Campano, with an internal rail station linked to the national network. In the area adjacent to the Interporto, there is the “Vulcano Buono” service centre, designed by Renzo Piano and inaugurated on December 7 2007. The CIS-Interporto-Vulcano cluster is a model of agglomeration of service sector companies that includes over 1,000 companies and 8,000 workers, with 40,000 employed in ancillary industries and 30,000 visitors each day.
