Overview

Naples is not a city you simply look at; it is a city you must excavate. Join a sociologist and a local historian on a journey through 2,400 years of continuous, chaotic, and beautiful human habitation. Peel back the layers of the historic center, descend from vibrant piazzas into preserved Roman markets, navigate ancient craft alleys, and discover hidden Baroque sanctuaries. This is a story of survival, adaptation, and the collision of the sacred and the profane.
