Naples
Sinopsis
This is a sparkling portrait of Naples, and the
definitive companion for anyone seeking to delve
beneath its surface.Naples is an Italian city
like no other. Drama and darkness are often
associated with the city, which rests beneath
active Mount Vesuvius and is the home of the
Camorra - its version of the mafia. But beyond
this, Naples reveals itself to be one of the
most historically and culturally vibrant cities
in Europe. From its origins in Homer's Odyssey
and its founding nearly 3,000 years ago, Naples
has long attracted travellers, artists and
foreign rulers - from the visitors of The Grand
Tour to Goethe, Nelson, Dickens and Neruda. The
stunning beauty of its natural setting coupled
with the charms of its colourful past and lively
present - from the ruins of Pompeii to the
glittering performances of the San Carlo opera
house - continue to seduce all those who explore
Naples today. In the Shadow of Vesuvius is a
sparkling portrait of the city - the definitive
companion for anyone seeking to delve beneath
its surface.
