Spending a few days in Naples, a city which pulsates with life, passion and creative energy, could prove an exciting experience.
Goethe described Naples as a natural paradise inhabited by the devil. He must have been referring to the way the city appeals to the senses. Even today, the sounds, the colours, the smells, the landscapes and daily life are what make the city so addictive and yet so wonderfully creative.
Spending a holiday in Naples means discovering a cultural identity which has its roots in the theatrical gesturing of actors like Viviani, Totò, Eduardo de Filippo, and Troisi, and in the music of Murolo, Peppe Barra, and Pino Daniele. Cinema, theatre, music and the communicative arts find their natural home here where the culture and unique approach to life are in constant evolution.
Naples is also the capital of Mediterranean cuisine and its traditional foods and wines are one of the city's major attractions. As well as the true Neapolitan pizza, which is the symbol of Neapolitan cuisine, there are dishes and flavours to suit every taste and pocket, made to recipes handed down over the centuries.
