•The city is known for being the
birth place of pizza, and its cuisine
and wine.
•Naples generally enjoys very good
weather, typical of a city near the
Mediterranean, with 250 days of
glorious sunshine. Even at the height
of summer around August, the city
still maintains cool temperatures,
benefiting from the light winds
coming from the sea.

under Napoli, also called “Napoli Sotteranea”. Here
is where you see storefronts as well as laundry
mats still intact from way back. Take a jacket
though because it’s cold. Jade
