From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Puteoli
     a city on the coast of Campania, on the north shore of a bay
     running north from the Bay of Naples, at which Paul landed on
     his way to Rome, from which it was distant 170 miles. Here he
     tarried for seven days (Acts 28:13, 14). This was the great
     emporium for the Alexandrian corn ships. Here Paul and his


     companions began their journey, by the "Appian Way," to Rome. It
     is now called Pozzuoli. The remains of a huge amphitheatre, and
     of the quay at which Paul landed, may still be seen here.
