Snow caps Vesuvius (ANSA) - Naples, March 15 - Naples residents woke up Friday to the unseasonal sight of snow on Vesuvius.

The mist and rainclouds that had ringed the volcano for days rolled away to reveal a heavy white topping.

Snow is unusual on Vesuvius at this time of the year but, like the rest of Italy, Naples has been hit by a late cold snap over the past week.
