Whether you know Naples or have never seen it, I assure you that after reading The brilliant friend, some places will have another flavor, another meaning and a whole other story.

" ah, there is no city that gives off so much noise and such a din as Naples," writes Ferrante.

In some points of the heart of the city it is still possible to see the ruins of the ancient Greek walls, that were part of the ramparts, built in order to defend the ancient city. One of the "decumano" is via Tribunali, still nowadays one of the liveliest streets of Naples; the other famous street is Spaccanapoli, called in this way by the local population and I will tell you why.

In one of the squares of the city center, Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, you will raise your eyes to admire the high obelisk that is just in the middle of the square and I will show you one of the most ancient pastry shops still existing there!

I will guide you through the fascinating alleys of the historic city center, you will be able to discover some of the most beautiful churches, the courtyard of the ancient noble palaces, and the famous street San Gregorio Armeno where some local artisans still produce the traditional Christmas Crib.
