About Naples

Passionnée et chaotique au pied du Vésuve, Naples est le berceau de la pizza et la porte d'entrée de Pompéi, de Capri et de la côte amalfitaine.

Le centre historique, un réseau dense de rues tracé par les Grecs de l'Antiquité, est un monde d'églises, d'autels de rue et de linge suspendu entre les balcons. Spaccanapoli le traverse en ligne droite, la Via San Gregorio Armeno est bordée d'ateliers de crèches, et la chapelle Sansevero abrite le stupéfiant Christ voilé. Sous terre, tunnels et citernes révèlent la ville grecque et romaine en dessous.
