Naples, the name itself brings a sensation of romance & the charm of old world. Sometimes while driving my Ferrari California along Beachside Drive at Rancho Palos Verdes, CA my wandering imagination takes me to the narrow, bending road along the Amalfi coast situated at south of Naples. I feel like driving through its treacherous bends (about 1000 in total number).
I feel that shivering sense of adventure while thinking about it (2 cars can hardly go side by side). Drive through it & enjoy the spectacular views of the Tyrrhenian sea. An exploring spirit would take you to Cetara, a seaside fishermen’s village on the Amalfi coast.
We grew on Italian pizza & accustomed to hear that it originated in Naples. Thus you can sense that Naples is a paradise for gourmets. Feast on Spaghetti, Pizza, sea foods, anchovies with provolone & lobster claw shaped pastry dessert, ummh! Amazingly delightful.
Often described as an open air museum, Naples is surrounded by history. Take a look at Museo Cappella Sansevero, a baroque styled, historical church. Even an agnostic would appreciate the master piece marble statue of “Veiled Christ”.
Visiting Naples & excluding the National Archaeological Museum of Naples is a sacrilege. History buff or not you will love the place. Appreciate the Farnese collection. Feel the pain of unfulfilled dreams of citizens of Pompeii when the killer lava waves of Vesuvius engulfed the city, thousands of years back as the Museum owns the biggest collection of artefacts from the lost city. You will wonder about the fickleness of lady luck when you see how a small article could have survived that moment of annihilation.
Until now you must have understood why I am so emotional about visiting Italy. A paradise for foodies, history & art buffs & also musical connoisseurs, Naples will hold a section of heart forever. Try to visit her at least once in your lifetime.
