To say Naples is chaotic is an understatement. Rome and Sorrento are mild in comparison. They say it is their proximity to Vesuvius; live life on the edge.

Naples is where pizza was invented. No, Vera did not go into the pizza business. Vera Pizza means true pizza, and is the sign you look for if you want the original.
Typical street scene. There was another street totally dedicated to nativity scenes and the making of them. Closer to Christmas, they make it one way, pedestrian only, because the crowds are so big.
Yesterday's word of the day: uscita or exit in Italian
Today's word: orologio
Hint: Don't leave home without it.
