This amateur site is absolutely no-profit,
and aims at giving
full information to tourists as well as to citizens.
Although I know there are many sites about Naples, I think only a
few
are sufficiently complete.
Some are not very accurate, some are sponsored and some others are extremely
sectorial. On the other hand, I would like to give the right image of my city which is
fabulous but very difficult to live in, which has marvellous monuments and hidden
treasures but many problems too.
However, what I really would like to do is to make people
understand the changes Naples has been carrying out: a big city which in the last years
has been trying to leave her past behind and rapidly moving to the future; a future
accomplished in a new-reborn tourist vocation, in huge infrastructures, in the attempt to
reclaim suburban areas, in the struggle against crimunality and malpractise.
It goes without saying that the most difficult thing to be changed is her fame in Italy
and abroad! This will take ages! But as Neapolitans we are patient and by now we are quite
happy to listen to positive comments and hear satisfied and surprised tourists promising
they will come back!
In particular, the
site suggests an excurcus on Naples millenary history, a journey through her neighbours, a thorough analysis of the means of public
transportation, a journey through famous monuments, streets
and squares, universities,
museums,
parks and interesting places
around Naples.
By this site which has been suggested by the love I have for my
city, I
hope to raise interest and curiosity in those who
don’t
know Naples, or those who, unfortunately, only know
the aspects too often underlined on the news. I wish I could make people feel like
coming
to see the clean face of my city, her cultural richness, her desire for development
and modernity...
At least -but not at
last- I must give special thanks to Mrs. Roberta Di Falco and Mrs. Terri Marshall, who translated these pages from Italian to English, helping me
opening my site worldwide. |
