Napoli

Was a common thought, until the fifties of the last century, the idea that could not have lived without ever having been at least once in Naples. Goethe himself wrote: "See Naples, then die. " According to legend, the city was founded by Parthenope (greek term that means "virgin "), a young girl, with a lively imagination, spent many hours sitting on the rocks watching the sea and to dream of other lands to be discovered.
Just as Parthenope, your visit in Naples will be characterized by a suggestive discovery of the city that has combined its old charm with the most modern and sophisticated needs of the contemporary tourist. Modernity and tradition, therefore, intersect each other perfectly amalgamated.
Historically, the arab, spanish and french dominations left an important mark in the neapolitan culture: from art to architecture, from music to literature. Napoli is considered - along with Paris - the european capital of culture. There are many poets, writers, painters and musicians who immortalized their rhymes in Naples or in their drawings and chose this city to settle permanently.
Today, as then, to strike the visitor is the mild mediterranean climate, the sweetness of the air, the hospitality and welcome of the inhabitants. On your visit you can stop by for an informal breakfast at the famous Gran Caffè Gambrinus wher you can drink probably the best coffee of Naples or at the Pasticceria Scaturchio probably the oldest and renowned of the city. And since the culture of people necessarily passes from their cuisine, the tour of Naples also offers an interesting journey to discover the typical products of the old and varied neapolitan culinary tradition : from the famous pizza of the Pizzeria da Michele to spaghetti of the restaurant Il Comandante until the traditional dishes of Neapolitan cuisine served at the restaurant Antichi Sapori or at the more titled restaurants La Cantinella and Umberto
