Naples is the capital city of the Campania region and the Province of Naples. Its ancient name was Neapolis, that is "new city". Its metropolitan area is the second most populated in Italy and one of the largest in Europe. It is located halfway between the volcano, Vesuvius and a separate volcanic area, the Campi Flegrei, both of which form part of the Campanian volcanic arc.
The city itself in the central area has a population of around 1 million, the inhabitants are known as Neapolitans. It is rich in historical, artistic and cultural traditions and gastronomy. The Historic Centre of Naples is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site The Neapolitan language is the geographically most diffuse Italian language, similar variations of the Neapolitan dialect are spoken throughout most of southern Italy. Between 1266 and 1861, Naples was the capital of the Kingdom of Naples (later of the Two Sicilies), usually simply indicated as "the Kingdom", other Italian states having different denominations. This history, coupled with its size, has given Naples the unofficial status of being the capital of the Italian south. Naples is known as the birthplace of the pizza, and for its many contributions to opera. In the modern day, the city is served by Naples International Airport at Capodichino, a civil airport hosted by a military one. Naples is home to many United States military personnel stationed here.

Pisa, Italy -› Florence, Italy -› ...
And so, after a week driving around Italy, we finally arrived at our end destination... Naples. I know I mentioned in my earlier blog on Pisa that we were pleasantly surprised the Italian motorists weren't quite as crazy as we had been lead to believe... but this was all to be but a distant memory as soon as we reached Naples. Here every second in the car was a life and death situation as locals zipped in and out on Vespers (no need for helmets), not uncommonly with several passengers on boar...

Today we went on our first day-trip to Naples. It was amazing. We went to a church where Caravaggio's The Seven Acts of Mercy was commissioned for and where it is still displays. Just a normal (though beautiful) Catholic church where people go to mass and services everyday. And the Caravaggio just hangs out there at the front by the alter. It's beautiful and accessible and I think more art should be in churches like that instead of museums. The 2nd Caravaggio of the day was in a Museum that u...

Rome, Italy -› Florence, Italy -› ...
We were left in Naples for a few days longer than planned. First off we decided that we wouldn't have enough time to go to Sicily so we made the executive decision to forego it. I can only marvel at what we missed out on. Then the next day we missed the last train out of Naples to Rome by minutes.. oops! We headed back down to Sorrento the next day and took just barely made it to the potty and then ran all the way to the boat that was ready to leave any second. Then men on the boat grabbed ou...

I volunteered in a little village called Pescosolido - located right between Rome and Naples - for two weeks(August 25th,2007-Septemer 8th,2007). We lived and worked together with the other volunteers and after work (we worked only 4 hours from 8a.m. every morning - cleaning the rooms/helping Maria in the kitchen or Giuseppe in the garden) then spent the afternoons with the guests. Had a lot of fun - can't even describe...Watch the pics and you'll see!!!:-)
