When I was in Naples in the 50’s it was regarded as one of the worst poverty stricken cesspits in Western Europe. How things have improved.
However I gather an eruption by Vesuvius is overdue so perhaps Ischia would be a safer bet in future.

As a ‘legacy football fan’, who has enjoyed watching Manchester City play across Europe for the last decade or so, Napoli away is easily the worst adventure …. and I’ve been to Shahktar Donetsk (played in Kharkiv). Naples is wonderful the day before, but on match-day the locals are far from welcoming and the threat to your personal safety is real.

If Joey Barton were a city…..
It is a tremendous article – but I have always felt the natural splendour of Naples to be somewhat wasted on the Neapolitans.

Being of Neapolitan heritage, I love this!

Thank you for your tribute to Naples, that most magical city. I could almost become interested in football

Fabulous place for a long weekend visit. Full of character like Rome but without the Roman Empire.
Nobody spoke Welsh, of course.
Esboniwch?
Try Argentina?

Well observed, about the city and Maradona – they were a match.

I used to be a frequent visitor to Metapontum and nearby Heraclea.
