  • «Naples is so fulminating that the gods vie for possession of its birthright»: this is how Vittorio Russo, writer and traveller, presents its city in the new Green Guide, quoting Polybius who was the first to describe that formidable mixture of enchantment and agitation two thousand years ago reality, vitality, contradictions and culture that still seduces today, overwhelming the categories of the obvious. Here then is the natural grace of one of the most photographed landscapes in the world, the harshness of the alleys and the sweetness of the sunsets, the noise of the shops and the silence of the cloisters, the darkness of the catacombs and the glittering promenades, the Pompeian frescoes and the masterpieces of contemporary street art, the blues of Pino Daniele and the electronic post-melody of Liberato. There is a space that seems infinite, in the stories of this guide, and many pills of Neapolitanness to suggest why, for example, every elegant street in Naples hides a popular soul: it is perhaps the natural antibody to those who would like to transform it into a postcard.
