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. |
