This guide offers a rich and vivid introduction to the city of Napoli and its surrounding areas — from historic monuments to sprawling vistas of the gulf, from neighbourhoods full of character to coastal escapes. Written by Edoardo Bonechi, it combines practical travel-information with cultural commentary, highlighting architectural heritage, urban landscapes and the interplay between history, local tradition and modern tourism. While intended for the visitor, the book serves also as a snapshot of Naples at a particular moment, capturing the city’s layered identity and how its “beauties” are framed for the traveler’s gaze..
