Spaccanapoli
There is a famous Italian saying that goes, “see Naples and then die” - and it is not just for the delicious aroma of freshly-baked pizzas. Naples represents a raw, passionate, secretive, generous, dilapidated, glorious, and vibrant southern Italian city. Mt. Vesuvius looms over the city, which overlooks a marvelous bay. The area's beauty has served as an inspiration for many artists. Enjoy the allure of the landscape, the beautiful islands that dot the blue waters of the Mediterranean like jewels, and the energy of a fiery and vivacious people whose popular songs and delicious recipes never fade. Wander in the historical center, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is at once modern and ancient - the street plan is older than the hills, and the buildings have contained shops and apartments for centuries. Visit the Veiled Christ sculpture in the Sansevero chapel, which shows the figure of Christ lying under what looks like the thinnest of fabrics.
