marvellous, rococo style architecture.

building has a large seating area with velour seats and a long series with
boxes and mini boxes among which the central royal box stands out for its regal
elegance. This theatre was the centre of theatrical activity for the famous
Neapolitan comical actress, Luisa Conte and her company, much loved by the
locals, for around 20 years. Since the actress's death, her place has been taken
by the great young actress Lara Sansone who, together with the Sanazzaro theatre
company, now brings to the stage the Neapolitan comedies of times gone by, a
comedy which mirrors the heart of Naples' historical centre.

Naples Destination Overview
|
Naples is
a city of warmth and enthusiasm. Its ambience is passionate and intense. In
fact, Naples retains a reputation as the most vibrant city in Italy. Naples
stretches out along the scenic Bay of Naples from Piazza Garibaldi in the east
to Mergellina in the west. At its back is lofty Vomero Hill.
From Stazione
Centrale, on Piazza Garibaldi, Corso Umberto I (known as the "Rettifilo"), a
walking tour would head southwest to the monumental city center, around the
piazzas Bovio, Municipio, and Trieste e Trento to the Palazzo Reale, Teatro San
Carlo, and Galleria Umberto Primo. Central Naples is best explored on foot, as
traffic jams of all sorts are commonplace. It is wise to take a bus or cable
car (funicular) to a general area and then proceed on foot. To the
north are the historic districts of old Naples, to the south lies the port. Farther west along the bay are the fashionable neighborhoods of Santa Lucia and
Chiaia, and finally the waterfront district of Mergellina.
The residential area
of Vomero sits on the steep hills rising above Chiaia and downtown. At the
center is the picturesque quarter of Spaccanapoli, the heart of the historic
center. The area
surrounding Naples has a Greco-Roman history. The Greeks set out to Hellenize
Italy's southern regions in the 6th and 7th centuries BCE by settling at Cumae. Later, the Romans inhabited the area.
Both groups left ruins of archeological
significance. The area west of Naples is known as the Campi Flegrei:
literally, the fields of fire. These were described by the ancient Greeks as the
entrance to Hades and were immortalized in literature as the “Elysian Fields”, a
paradise for the deserving dead. Italy's two major seismic faults intersect at
that point, and the whole area floats freely on a mass of molten lava very close
to the surface. From
Naples, visitors can travel down the coast to Pompei and the Sorrento Peninsula,
both of which can be reached by train.
A boat trip to Sorrento gives the
opportunity for a spectacular view of Naples from the sea. Other side trips
that should not be missed are to the slopes of Vesuvius where once flourished
the upscale, first century city of Pompeii; the archeological site at
Herculaneum, and the lovely islands of Capri and Ischia. These tiny islands
with their scenic beauty, picturesque villages, and crystal clear waters
welcome more than two million visitors annually. Neapolitan
cuisine is famous worldwide, and ranks among the best in Italy. There is a
strong emphasis on the freshest fish and seafood and local fruits and vegetables
form the fertile volcanic soil of the region.
Local wines of note are Lacryma
Christi and Greco di Tufo. Limoncello is a delicately flavored lemon liqueur
that is made all along the neighboring coast. Dining in
a Neapolitan restaurant is traditionally a festive occasion accompanied by a
wide variety of savory pasta and thin crusted, tasty pizza dishes baked in
wood-fired ovens. Although pizza, pasta, and seafood dishes are the symbols of
Neapolitan cuisine, Naples is also known for its fine cheeses (including
mozzarella), and its delicious ice cream and superb pastries. Numerous salamis
and excellent locally produced prosciutto round out the wide array of culinary
possibilities.
The finest
shopping area lies around Piazza dei Martiri and along Via dei Mille, Via
Calabritto, Via Toledo, and Via Chiaia. Along these streets can be found outlets
fo Italy’s top designers, as well as local stores selling fine leather goods. There is more commercial shopping between Piazza Trieste e Trento and Piazza
Dante. Jewelers abound near Via San Biagio as do the crafters of traditional
nativity figurines. Coral is
much sought after by collectors.
Much of the coral is now sent to Naples from
Thailand, but it's still shaped into fine jewelry at the workrooms at Torre del
Greco, on the outskirts of Naples, off the Naples-Pompeii highway. Cameos are
also made there. In recent
years, Naples has made world headlines for its cultural renaissance and its
proactive stance against crime. The mayor received a national government grant
of $30 million to make Naples safer and more to enhance its appearance, and has
been aided by a group of concerned citizens who since 1984 have consistently
collected funds for the upkeep of the city's treasures and monuments. The result
of this widespread project has been a resurgence of cultural activity among the
city's musicians, writers, moviemakers, artists, and playwrights.
The Neapolitan
art scene has been revitalized. Film
companies, following in the footsteps of Neapolitan directors such as Francesco
Rossi and Gabriele Salvatore, are choosing to shoot in Naples once again. Neapolitan writers are gaining increasing recognition, especially Ermanno Rea
for Mistero Napolitano and Gabriele Frasca for his poems. Naples is now
becoming popular with a younger generation, especially those from countries to
the north. They flood into the city and lend it a new vitality.
Naples,
the birthplace of both Sophia Loren and Enrico Caruso, is host to the entire
spectrum of entertainment offerings. Restaurants traditionally have musicians
serenading their patrons, classical music and opera are high on the list at
Teatro San Carlo with performances from October through May. Rock groups are
born in Naples on a regular basis, yet at the same time, interest in traditional
Neapolitan music is increasing. Founded by a group of young Neapolitans, the
Falso Movimento troupe has brought new life to the city's theatrical scene. The hippest night life is said to be at the bars and cafes on Piazza Bellini,
near Piazza Dante.
In a word,
Naples is a friendly place. It has the feel of coming home to a place of beauty
and timelessness that is at the same time in a perpetual state of excitement and
celebration of life.
