THE CAMORRA: Though less well known than the Sicilian Mafia, the Camorra are far more than just a persistent local rumour. You're unlikely to witness the Camorra first-hand as a tourist - a street vendor selling contraband cigarettes is all you're likely to see - yet behind the scenes the organisation continues to blight the economic and social life of the city.

Walking around Naples
by guell
Naples has almost no open spaces or parks, but it does have lively streets and a few gallerias. We found that walking around Naples was the best way to really experience the essence of the city. While staying wary of the Vespas, we managed to find Via Toledo where the whole city seems to be out for the passeggiata, showing off their clothes and openly examining all the passers-by.
The Galleria in the picture is located at the southern end of Via Toledo.
Some more city squares
by toonsarah
We really enjoyed exploring, and sometimes relaxing in, the many piazzas of the Centro Storico. For instance we had a relaxing Sunday morning cappuccino in the Piazza San Domenica Maggiore, a great place for people watching. The large obelisk (known as a guglia) in the centre of the square commemorates a terrible plague in 1656, which killed half the population of the city. It was funded by the Dominicans, with contributions from the citizens. The Baroque monument is adorned with medallions of male and female saints of their Order, and at the very top stands a bronze statue of Saint Dominic.
In the 13th century Saint Thomas Aquinas lived and taught in the convent attached to the church of San Domenica Maggiore, on the north side of the piazza.
My other photo is of another of Naples’ three guglia, which are highly decorated obelisks intended to outshine those of Rome. This one is in the Piazza Gesù Nuovo, on the western fringes of the Centro Storico, and commemorates the Immaculate Conception.
