Nothing attracts me in a city as much as an exaggerated generalization, but everywhere that discourages people shy, keeps prices low and short lines, and makes people like me very happy.
But I am a novice in Italy, and this was my first time in Naples. So even if I like wandering and discovery, rather than passing established sites, I wondered if I could I ignore most famous pizzerias and churches in the world? Exemption from Pompeii? Miss Capri, the island that shorts and a salad of tomatoes, mozzarella and basil are appointed for?
My solution: make unavoidable, and some see - what happens -.
When I left the subway near the historic center of Naples, it took about 10 seconds cacophonous for me to fall in love. A football passed me with the children run after her jaw and waved pedestrians on street corners like overacting extras on a film set; motorcycles larger by chance, and drying clothes fluttering in the breeze from almost all the old balconies. Like cities without dryers.
Things got even better when I found I Fiori di Napoli, my € 35 a night bed and breakfast, hidden in a building without a street number, much less a sign. Going up marble steps to the third floor of this 18th century building that comes from the ridiculously narrow streets of the Spanish Quarter, I was greeted by Manuela Colosimo, one of the owners. Manuela, who spoke English in Naples - but experienced fluid, provide me with endless suggestions (and maps and guides, and strong coffee) during the week.
His first suggestion: Trattoria Nennella, just two blocks one way, where a two-course dinner with a bottle of wine (note: a bottle just for me) and a bottle of water, a cup of cherries and cries , servers merengue dance - cost me 12 euros.
