Direction Naples, which never stops celebrating its title of Italian football champion. What does a Saturday night look like? Immersion.
At the foot of Vesuvius, they say that at night, Naples (Italy) feeds on the energy of its volcano. Not yet recovered from its victory in the Italian championship, the city is still in the colors of its football team. In the purest Neapolitan tradition, music is on every street corner. With friends or family, the inhabitants come to sing under the windows of Tonino. For a few plays, it attracts dozens of spectators every evening. “Normallythe serenade, we did it from the street to the balcony. Me I do the opposite“, he says.
Fried pizza and songs
At 8 p.m., it’s rush hour for Giuseppe Amato, pizza maker since 25 years. Every evening he prepares the fried pizza, a recipe that can only be found in Naples. It’s a Saturday night staple. “Eating pizza in the street is Neapolitan life”says a young woman. The evening continues in a performance hall, where a group of musicians offers modern versions of Neapolitan standards. However, you have to wait until 11 p.m. to feel the beating heart of the youngest city in Italy. On Place Bellini, links are easily forged between tourists and locals.
