NAPLES : SECRET GUIDE [2023]

A wonderful private theater, the smallest ‘Museum of typography’ of the world, the s e c r e t d e p o s i t s o f t h e Na t i o n a l Archaeological Museum, the oven where the first pizza Margherita was cooked in Capodimonte, a skull with ‘ears’, the sumptuous salon from which Garibaldi greeted the crowd, a community of friars who has lived since 1976 in some old railway carriages, an astonishing staircase hidden in an ancient building, extraordinary old libraries unknown to Neapolitans, vestiges of a former brothel, a Hellenistic hypogeum unique in the world, a customised Vespa from the Second World War, remarkable secret private collections, a Greek watchtower in a theatre, a rare clock that measures the equation of time, the staircase of a building entirely excavated in the tuff, a raft ride 20 meters below Piazza del Plebiscito ... Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, Naples holds many well-hidden treasures that are revealed only to local residents and travellers who know where to step off the beaten track.
