Naples on tour
A very interesting visit to a city rich in history and tradition accompanied by Edoardo who guided us with sympathy and preparation into the heart of the city, giving us a description of the places which, in addition to history and culture, also combined popular tradition. Really very beautiful and ideal for enjoying the riches of Neapolitan baroque.
