Visiting Naples means also and above all “to live the city”, and this can happen only if you come into contact with its “colour”, that, mind, is not the decline of the customs, nor the metropolitan decay of its culture. It is instead the fact that the traditions have been always alive during the centuries. The art of goldsmith; the crafts of the lute-makers and of the masters who create masterpieces made of wrought iron or wooden objects; the genius of the “pastorai”, who mould objects in clay according the past customs; the masterpieces made by the potters of Capodimonte are an example. In the napolitan “colour” the artists are inspired, such as Sammartino, musicians such as Mozart. These are only some examples , but they are sufficient to know the bases of Neapolitan culture and handicrafts.

The greeks and the romans, before the visitors came here during the period of Grand Tour, discovered the natural beauties of Naples: its sea, its hills, its mild weather, its wanderful panoramic landscapes. In the toponyms is kept the memory: Mergellina for Mar ialinum (unpolluted and clear sea water), Posillipo for Pausis Lypè (end of the pain), Chiatamone for Platamon (level shore), and certainly visiting the city always leaves in your mind a sweet memory of a sunset seen from the the hill of San Martino, of a red sunset which makes Castel dell’Ovo alive, of the bright light that during the day creates some silver raysin the sea in Via Caracciolo. Even at night Naples has a spontaneous beauty, that goes beyond the string of pearls of the urban light and makes you discover wonderful and unexpected corners; sudden moments of natural beauty and unexpected faces of an old and always young beauty.
