Where the streets meet the subduction zone, a city in synchronicity.

Arrivederci Napoli!
Not so much a city, more a fundamental font of human spirit. Forza!

Ciao Vesuvio!
Feeling your hot seething mass beneath me, lingering on your brooding mound, gazing into your massive hole and breathing in your heady, sulphuric aroma. A must, a joy.
There’s no greater crater!

Ciao Gallerie D’Italia!
There was definitely a bit of an obsession with the beheading of John the Baptist throughout the renaissance, you couldn’t turn a corner in this place without seeing yet another depiction of the poor blighter with his head rent from his body.

Ciao Capri!
Hot on the heels of Gracie Fields, Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, and Jacqueline Kennedy. Although I’m not sure that they would have sweated as much as me on the Scala Fenicia, they’d just glow.

See Naples and die…climb the steps from Via Toledo to Castel Sant Elmo and feel like you already have.

Ciao Galleria Borbonica!
Whilst ‘going up the bourbon tunnel’ is indisputably an eye watering euphemism, an afternoon spent tickling the volcanic tuff of the Neapolitan underbelly was right up my (back) alley.

Ciao Napoli!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Piazza del Plebiscito has all the right curves in all the right places, it’s incontrovertible proof that whilst taking architectural geometry seriously may be a thing of the past, it really shouldn’t be.
