Tour of Naples between mysteries and art

Let’s be transported on a surprising journey back in time through the maze of narrow streets and small squares of beautiful Neapolis.
There is not a single meter that can be walked without hearing a story or encountering a two thousand year old relic enclosed in the complicated architecture of the ancient city of Naples.

Here there is a succession of remote stratigraphies of the Greek-Roman and medieval city which mixes with the modern and current city.

Its churches, its palaces, the network of streets that intersect, the hidden corners, the “bassi“, the decorations that meet along the way, the voices of the inhabitants that overlap, the artisans who work, the scents coming from the stalls offering food at all hours, the aroma of coffee emanating from the houses bear witness to the intense and lively life of a thousand-year-old city. Naples holds mysteries that enchant visitors of any culture.

Walking along the streets crossed for over two thousand five hundred years by people coming from all over the world, you feel surrounded by a unique and indescribable sensation: it is the soul of Naples.

Music, theatre, singing, dancing, painting, sculpture, philosophy and history mix in this labyrinth of ancient monasteries, stately palaces, hidden caves, obelisks that adorn the squares.

Defined as the most noble, the fulcrum of the world, the meeting between East and West, the city of 500 domes, this city has such a profound spirit that it never ceases to amaze the thousands of visitors who crowd through its streets and always leaves his indelible mark.

Gesù Nuovo’s facade

Wrapped in the scent of street food we will have the opportunity to taste everything that satisfies that slight peep that appears at every sight of fried pizzas, croquettes, arancini, sfogliatelle, babà and many other delights displayed in the windows of the numerous bars located along the street. And since the eye also wants its part, we will never stop marveling at the thousands of works of art that the city jealously guards in its churches or beautiful buildings.

We will end our visit in the beautiful Piazza del Gesù Nuovo where mysterious symbols linked to the thousand legends and colorful faces of this city are hidden.
