‘O cuzzetiello
This might be the actual best food ever.
Half a bread loaf, hollowed out and filled with slow-cooked ragù.
Do yourself a favour and buy a cuzzetiello when you visit Napoli next.
Just a warning, don’t try to finish it all in one go and don’t wear white!
This is just one reason #whyIloveNapoli

Via Duomo - not just the Duomo
Via Duomo – not just the Duomo
Like the title suggests, there’s not just the Duomo to be find in Via Duomo. Please, do go there to check it out but what you’ll also find is that Via Duomo is one of the ‘wedding-dress’ streets.
Napoli does themed-streets very well. Port’Alba for books, the Pignasecca markets are along a street, a general shopping street etc.
South Italians take their weddings very seriously- yes I know most…

Pedamentina San Martino
A Google search of Napoli will show you an array of beautiful photos that capture the port and view of the city (including Mount Vesuvius).
There are multiple vantage points to see this view and take photos of the city scape.
One of my favourites is the the San Martino Panorama that has a fantastic climb to reach it. I like to make it part of a round trip from Vomero, to Villa Floridiana and then…

Surprises at Villa Floridiana
Surprises at Villa Floridiana
Villa Floridiana can be found in the zone of Vomero. I was expecting a beautiful park and a villa. Which I was very happy to find. I explored a bit more and behind the villa you can find a stunning view of Napoli.
But there was one more surprise before that!
A flipping big pile of turtles! This little pond was inundated. I have never seen anything like it. I think in Australia it would maybe be…

I Sogni Son Desideri - Paolo Chiariello
I Sogni Son Desideri – Paolo Chiariello
‘Dreams are wishes’ by Paolo Chiariello.
This book was recommended to me in the special features section of Gomorra Season One. I finally bought it in a book shop near Spaccanapoli.
I really love this book. It fills my heart with love. It’s a book of the children in the schools of Scampia. Scampia, if you don’t know, is a neighbourhood in Napoli with a less-than-happy reputation. Basically,…

Hello from Tiger.
There’s a Tiger store at the Garibaldi Station, if you wanted to know.
But I’ll always say, if possible, support the local Neapolitan businesses.

Taralli Napoletani
The tarallo is a ring-shaped biscuit typically from the Puglia region of Italy. Knowing this, I was surprised when my friend took me to try taralli when I was in Napoli. Why were Napoletani eating a pugliese food product? However, I learned that there are variations that exist all around Italy.
I liked taralli before, but I wasn’t too excited by them.
And now I’m addicted! The napoletano take on…

Napoli is a lively and bustling city with culture to be found around every corner. However, I must admit one of its faults is that there isn’t much greenery in the city.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t lots of fantastic places to go though. You just have to know where they are!
I’d like to start with The Botanical Garden of Naples.
I really enjoyed my morning walking around and admiring the difference sections of the gardens such as the ‘desert’ section (full of cacti), the ‘fruit’ section or the greenhouse filled with wonderful orchids and tropical ferns. I met some of the friendly people who work there too. There are some seriously amazing fruits to be found around the gardens. Don’t miss the historical castle on the grounds and the million beautiful signs made from tiles!
Botanical gardens in the heart of a lively city? Another reason #whyIloveNapoli

From Wikipedia:
The Botanical Garden of Naples, Italy (in Italian: Orto botanico di Napoli, also Real Orto Botanico) is a research facility of the University of Naples Federico II.
The premises take up about 15 hectares and are located on via Foria, adjacent to the gigantic old Albergo dei Poveri, the Royal Hospice for the Poor under the Bourbon dynasty. The facility is part of the university’s Department of Natural Science. It is one of the many scientific and educational facilities instituted under French rule in Naples (1806–15). The Garden opened in 1810.
At present the Garden displays on the premises around 25,000 samples of vegetation, covering about 10,000 plant species. Although open to the public, the Garden is not, strictly speaking, a public park. It is really an educational facility for the university and local high schools and is separate from the agricultural department of the University of Naples. The Garden is also actively engaged in the preservation of endangered plant species. There is also an ethnobotany section of the Garden where plants are studied that are potentially useful, medicinally, to humans. Besides smaller structures on the premises, there are two larger ones: the 17th-century “castle,” recently restored, and the 5,000 square meter Merola Greenhouse. The castle contains lecture and display rooms, and houses the Museum of Paleobotany and Ethnobotany.

Pulcinella
While walking through Spaccanapoli (Via Benedetto Croce), be sure to make a stop to visit Pulcinella in Vico Fico Del Purgatorio.
The bronze statue of the iconic Neapolitan figure has a shining, gold nose from the touch of its many visitors each year. It’s said that placing your hand on nose of Pulcinella brings good fortune.
Hard to believe, but the statue created by Lello Esposito has only been…

Polizia
For everything you hear about Napoli, I do have to say that I think it’s great to see the police out on the street.
Every time I leave the house, I see multiple police cars going around.
Yes I know it’s only in the centre of Napoli, for the tourists and that they probably aren’t doing anything particularly special but it’s better than nothing.
I definitely think it’s worth noting and a strike in…
