Naples is the navel of the Mediterranean.
If you pull a line from Marseilles to Athens
from Trieste to Tripoli, from Instambul to Barcelona
you'll cross Naples, it's in the middle of the Mediterranean as the month of May in the middle of the year.
When they founded it, Greeks had exhausted all their geographical imagination
they decided to call it provisionally "Nea Polis", new city.
But the world is full of "new cities" that are called this way.
So Neapolitans are specialized to make their place unique
differently from all the other "new cities"
and they have made Naples a legendary city
which is always a mixture of wonderful and atrocius
