Naples
Naples is an Italian city, capital of its province and of the region Campania. It is the third largest municipality by population after Rome and Milan with 962,447 inhabitants.
The city of Naples is almost centrally located on the gulf of Naples, between the Vesuvius and the volcanic area of Campi Flegrei in a scenario called “the most celebrated and beautiful in the world.”
Its vast artistic and architectural heritage is protected by UNESCO, whose commissions have included since 1995 the historical centre of Naples between the sites of world heritage.
