Ottaviano is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Naples in the Italian region Campania, located about 20 km east of Naples and is located in the Vesuvian Area. Ottaviano was in Roman times a hamlet of houses within a vast estate (praedium Octaviorum) belonging to the gens Octavia, Augustus's family. As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 23,572 and an area of 19.8 km².
The territory of the country includes most of the crater of Vesuvius. The city of Ottaviano contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Furchi, San Gennarello, and Zabatta. Ottaviano borders the following municipalities: Boscotrecase, Ercolano, Nola, San Gennaro Vesuviano, San Giuseppe Vesuviano, Somma Vesuviana, Terzigno, Torre del Greco, Trecase. In Ottaviano, in the Medici Castle, is located the headquarters of the National Park of Vesuvius.
Ottaviano suffered significant destruction during the 1944 eruption of neighboring Mount Vesuvius. Now the city is home to the center office of Vesuvius National Park. In late 1980, Ottaviano was firmly under the control of the Camorra.
On the ground
You blew me away
By turning around
With nothing to say
Blinded by fear
You've stolen my pride
I buried the tears
I'm ready to fight
And I'm crowded by the light
Turn away, it isn't worth the fight
It isn't you it isn't me
tell me what the hell am I supposed to be
I'm running in place
with nowhere to be
You're turning away and running from me
Blinded by years
You've broken my pride
Buried the fear
I'm ready to hide
And I'm crowded by the light
Turn away, it isn't worth the fight
It isn't you, it isn't me
Tell me what the hell am I supposed to be
It isn't how, it isn't why
Tell me where the hell am I to go tonight
It isn't you, it isn't me
Tell me where the hell am I supposed to be
It isn't how, it isn't why
Tell me where the hell am I to go tonight
It isn't you, it isn't me
Tell me what the hell am I supposed to be
It isn't how, it isn't why
Tell me where the hell am I to go tonight
Tell me how the hell am I to make it right
