 Juggler near Santa
Chiara, Naples by toonsarah
The Centro Storico is bisected east to west by two streets. The more northerly is the Via del Tribunali, and a block south of this runs the street known popularly Scappanapoli, which in the course of its 3 km length has five real names, none of which are used by locals. If you make this street the focus of your walk, with occasional detours down the various little lanes on either side, you’ll get a great flavour of Neapolitan street life, as we did.

 Vesuvius seen from near the
Piazza del Plebiscito by toonsarah, 1 more photos
When you look carefully at the mountain, especially from the side by the sea (e.g. if passing on the Circumvesuvio train as we did several times) you can see that it is in fact a cone within a cone. The central cone is known as Gran Cono, and this is partially encircled by the steep rim of a caldera caused by the collapse of an earlier, and originally much higher structure called Monte Somma. The Gran Cono was produced during the eruption of 79. Its has been constantly changed by eruptions but is currently 1,281 m (4,202 ft).
I love mountains generally but there was something a little disconcerting looking up at this brooding presence and remembering just what power is locked inside it. I found myself wondering if the people of Naples ever think about the time-bomb waiting to explode just a few miles from their homes, or if they’re so used to it that they don’t give it a second thought as they go about their lives. Maybe though it is precisely this life lived on the edge that gives these people their energy and passion?

 Around and about Naples. by unravelau
I really enjoyed that Naples-- seems to be such a lay back kind of place........Sure you have the traffic and the hordes of people but it seems to me to be a lot more sedate than Rome. That was my impression anyway.
I haven't really seen enough to have that kind of attachment, but I am prepared to get one when I next visit. Leave a Comment

 Napoli from Vomero by sargentjeff
Take your special someone up to Hotel Paradiso in the evening for one of the best views anywhere. It's the view that you typically see of Naples and Vesuvio. Actually, most of the Napoli city pics I've seen people post on VT are copies of a professional photographer's work Leave a Comment

 No Parking! by sargentjeff
The location couldn't be much worse. There is no easy access to downtown from here. You can't take the train to Napoli Centrale so you must rely on cabs or a rental car. If you haven't been here before, and are renting a car, be prepared. Drive straight out the front, go through the circle, and take a right at the intersection. Get on the Tangenziale and proceed with extreme caution on the freeway. Follow the signs to Centro if you are going in that direction. Good luck. Leave a Comment
