Naples, the capital of the Campania region, is a city that reveals itself slowly and is not easily loved. Located in the gulf of the same name, with a view of Mount Vesuvius, Naples is Italy's third-largest city by population (about 1 million inhabitants), after Rome and Milan, but it ranks first in terms of population density.

For most people, Naples primarily means pizza and an intense passion for football in general, and for Maradona in particular. Beyond the garbage that cannot go unnoticed, Naples also represents history unfolding layer by layer, the beauty of historic palaces and Baroque churches, opera performances at the Teatro San Carlo, treasures in museums, narrow streets, crowds (with a strong touch of picturesque charm), and a zest for life.

Over time, Naples has been celebrated by poets and painted by artists. One of the most famous Italian expressions is Vedi Napoli e poi muori ("See Naples and die"), highlighting the fascination this city has long held over people.
