Hey Spanian 🙂 as an Aussie grandmother who's never left Australia, I'm totally enjoying these tours with your humorous commentary ❤
Make this the top comment
SPANIAN taking us all on a all expenses paid holiday! 🎉 LETS OGG!

40 year old Grandma ?
@@billymack333 lol I wish I was still 40 😁
I am from Naples and grown up near scampia area, I can give you some more info about that area.
These Scampia buildings are called "le Vele" (the sails), they were built in the eighties to support all the people who had lost their homes after a strong earthquake destroyed half the city. Sadly a lot of these criminals forced the good people out of it to get the free given flats so it quickly turned into a densly populated criminal area (note that more than half of the families here are just normal people living their lifes, they are just poor and can't escape the zone).
It's funny you say people here keep staring at me and they are suspicios, you look suspicious as fuck too XD.
Scampia is far out from Naples city, the areas you are showing in the video are just the scum of Naples, the most part of the city is modern, cool and enjoyable.
The videos taken in the first part of the video are in the city center area called Quartieri Spagnoli, that's the second worst part in Naples, where another Mafia family has control (different than scampia one). So basically all these neighborhoods you are showing are just the worst part of it, you would be suprised to see how amazing the normal areas are looking.
The people in Naples is also the most friendly in Italy, as a tourist you can't really tell where the bad people is unless you get yourself in such zones with a 1000$ camera in the hand :)
Some fun facts about your video: when entering the first vela you hear a kid screaming something, that's a typical signal to drug dealers that someone sketchy or police is entering.
As for the truck selling fish, you have the same for any kind of food, fruits etc. even delivering fresh baked bread XD, of course all black market.
Another fun fact, while walking in such areas you are the safest in Naples, because thiefs do not work near their homes, that attracts undesired police's attention, instead they go steal in the richer areas of the city.
As for the people believeing it's all like in the Gomorrah movie, it's really not like that, there are such situations in those areas of course but as a tourist you wouldn't notice anything.
In the past couple years it became much safer too since million of tourists are attracted from the city and sketchy people got a job, it's defintely worth a visit, check some other Naples video.
molto informativo. grazie fratello
Thanks for info, can u explain why there's no people at all anywhere? Any hood in France is teaming up with either kids running around or teenagers chillin... It's all empty here like it was 5 am. What's the deal? They takin a nap??
è solo un furbo che getta fango su Napoli , ignoralo.. sto soggetto vuole solo monetizzare con un video scadente che , non rappresenta affatto la realtà di Napoli.
@@orchmuto5265 you can see kids at time mark 24:38 coming home from school, so we can assume it's 1:30pm, that's holy lunch time bro, Italians can't skip food :D.
You should also have a look at this place from the map, these are just residential buildings with nothing around, you will only find junkies in the basements and some dealer at each corner, but no people.
If you want to see people you should head towards streets, where shops are, here you will find your sketchy people sitting outside bars or riding on scooters around the city.
Most of the people are roaming between Scampia and Secondigliano, which is the next and main village.
Bro the point in the videos like this are to go to what is supposed to be the roughest areas. He isnt trying to portray Naples in a bad way
As a Neapolitan I can say that Scampia was the Camorra's fort for decades, fueling the discomfort and desolation in that area, but it does not represent Naples at all, a unique city,Surprising, unique, intense, wonderful, its alleys full of beauty and authenticity and the food excellent and unrepeatable, Naples will amaze you and its people will make you feel at home!!!
ma va a cagar va
@@albiemmenapoli e' trasformata. Quasi. Sono stato l altr anno con mia moglie australiana. Esperienza fantastica. Napoli una delle top 3 citta piu belle d italia.
Dite sempre le stesse cazzate
@@albiemme Ma vacci te, merdaccia!
so fucking rude people there
I just want say thankyou for keeping that ad as short and to the point as possible. I respect it
For the ones that want to know: Scampia is not anymore dangerous as it was 15 years ago. Before a big war between local caused many deaths and attracted the attention of the media and the police, it was the largest drug market in Europe. Then the traffic and criminal density moved to other neighborhoods of Naples due to the enormous amount of police that the war attracted. Now it is still a degraded neighborhood but nothing like what it was in its worst years.
Well said..Looks like it’s all over, the scene there. To the betterment of the neighborhoods. Still DAMN SCARY looking though. There would be needles all over the place and more evidence.
7kkmkk.l.mmm.m.m.m.k.ñññ.
so have the same gangs continued but now elsewhere?
@@tw9341Some got arrested, some died during the war and many others went to different areas of the city to deal drugs but the most active one now is probably Caivano / Parco Verde
Why don't you go and walk through by yourself like this guy did ! Yeah whatever your talking shit .
Hey Spanian, there's a place in Slovakia, Eastern Europe it's called "Košice Lunik 9" you definitely have to visit and give us a video from there! It's literally the Gypsy Slums and the dirtiest, most dangerous and one of Europes biggest ghettos you have to check it out!! It'll definitely be up your alley, kids all over the street's, rubbish absolutely everywhere, fire pits everywhere you walk, open air drugs, alcohol. Definitely one for your "into the hoods" to add to 👍👍
That is next level shithole.
100% gypsies.
90% unemployment.
The residents literally just throw their rubbish off their balconies.
Rubbish and rats everywhere
I think they get visited enough from UA-camrs trying to cash in on their misfortunes. There's nothing to see there that you can't already find on UA-cam.
I remember PPPeter did a video on that place! Full hectic!
@@Epsillion70 Haha yeah crazy place!! The gypsy kids are nuts hahaha
@@Jombozeus UA-camrs bring money to spend and increase tourism though, it's genuinely good for those regions. Your comment is a virtue signal that provides no value. Not to mention every video of people going to such places tends to be filled with positive interactions with the locals.
"The whole city looks like a ghetto" - he says as he walks through one of the oldest and coolest cities in human history
But he's right.
And it looks like a shithole 😂
Naples is a gross dump. Ugly and no one respects the city. They make good coffee though. Time for Vesuvio to wake up. What a ugly place
@@ElNombreGiganticohe filmed the dirty parts.
He’s a moron
Watching your videos walking through the hoods makes me appreciate how I grew up. As someone who was raised middle class in Australia. I can’t fathom how hard it must be for the locals that live there and in these types of neighbourhoods.
You gotta stay alert in the night mostly, but is nice to live there for me :). I am from Napoli as well, not from Scampia but where I come from is basically the same. What I can say is that there is a lot of community between neighbours. We speak to each other through the balcony, we make coffees for each other, we share food... living in these areas can be cool also :). Nowadays I am living in the Netherlands and again I chose to stay in a hood instead of a middle class place. I just love the community that you can find in these places !
100 percent agree there can be a really good community that gather together everyone lends a helping hand. In my area no one really knows each other tbh😂
@@anakyrgios3251 I like areas where no one knows each other ...No one bothers you
Naples is one of my favourite places in Europe - gritty, disorganized and a bit chaotic, but that's where its character comes from. Great food and people also.
Maaan love your com that's what exactly I feel
What other cities you like in Europe ? I love Marseille
@@ninoballon I haven't been to Marseille yet, I used to live in Barcelona and loved it there. I liked Palermo as well, really cool place
It is like New Orleans in the USA. A dynamic chaotic city.
Napoli and Marseille are my personal favourites
Yeah, and they have nice H
One of the most interesting documentary series on out there to date, and we get it all free with Spanian's commentary. Taught me things about my own city, never stop mate
Entertainment yes, actual content not really. If you’re learning from this make try a book mate. Imagine what you could actually learn
agreed no content here at all @@robd5739
@@robd5739imagine coming online and telling someone to read a book 😂
While I agree with your comment, u need to sit down, kick back and stick to reading books before you shut someone’s opinion down. Let it be
@@Sambigs9112this is actually abit Sus .as a ex con he should respect these hoods .he might film the wrong place one day. But hey he's doing his thing
@@Sambigs9112even in Sydney. I lived there for 9 years..I spent alot of time around Redfern. It's Allgood. But the way he just film backyards like bra cmon..some of these dudes probably don't want that.. I know I wouldn't want him filming my backyard .upto
Here because of the TV show Gomorrah. I’m glad you actually went there & highlighted the authenticity of the show. The beauty of it was the humanity behind the characters in this torn part of a magnificent city & country. Anyone upset about this in the comments simply shouldn’t be on this man’s channel.
Such a dystopian feel to this place during your walkthrough near the end.
Subscribed !!
I know this would be very difficult most of the time but having a local guide you at these locations and giving you the history on it would make this series 10x if not 100x better. You are doing a awesome job mate and I hope some fans out there can help you out with some of the episodes in the series.
EDIT: Replies to this seem to be fairly divided on the topic. I understand that the people who disagree want to only see these places from Spanian's perspective and I also enjoy his take on these places but I also think that he can walk around by himself and then actually present all the questions he has to a local who can give Spanian context to what he is seeing. I think it would be great to hear Spanian's thoughts on a similar yet different lifestyle to the one he has led.
I disagree
Disagree
i disagree
Dude Spanian NEVER reads the comments. I agree Tour guide would defs be better but he won't get one coz he doesn't read comments from his viewers who like u are giving constructive criticism so don't wait on it
He had a guided tour of aids n clakka shack
At 26:25 I think it says "Non è Gomorra", and not "Camorra" like you said. It's a reference to the TV series that made Scampia famous worldwide, called "Gomorra". It means "this is not Gomorra" : people living there don't appreciate strangers coming to see how they live just because they saw it on TV. I feel sorry for them, they deserve better. Neapolitans have a heart of gold 💛
So they feel shame so strong that they want to hide their existence? This should be talked abojt more, so it gets fixed faster. Ghettos will not be forgotten anymore if they get attencion.
@@madbruvNo, people don’t appreciate being treated like a zoo….This is irrespective of where they live. Would you like somebody to look at you through a window whilst you go about your business in your home?
i hope you continue travelling and take this series all over the world. what you are doing is fascinating and valuable. we can learn a lot about a country by how it houses (or doesn't house) its poor.
What is humbling about Spanian's vlog in the hoods is that people , mainly guys, who you would write off if you saw them on the street or hurry past show they are far from stupid, but smart, observant and self-aware of their situation and other people's perceptions of them. Plus the fantastic language: Doin? best greeting ever, plus the lads, very playful and laters as the ultimate courteous move on. Educational! Thank you!
Construction of La Vele began in 1962, and dragged on until 1975. Not long after completion, they were overrun with squatters and people evacuated from elsewhere during the 1980's seismic crisis; the maintenance basically ceased, and the entire estate has been decaying ever since. Two blocks were demolished in 2003, and a further one in 2016. The remaining ones were also scheduled to be demolished, except for one, that would be refurbished, but this, like so many projects in the area was so far not yet realised.
There are places around Napoli where partially completed buildings have stood abandoned for several decades.
I'm Italian Aussie with Dad's Napoli roots. I know Scampia is really rustic (read: rough), but it's still marginally better than the slums I grew up in in Adelaide. Yes, Adelaide, Australia! Maybe Spanian can dare himself to walk around Elizabeth/Davoren Park. Unempkoyment rate 35 pc...in OZ!
@@jmartelli6874Bro no offence but I highly doubt anywhere in Australia is rougher or harder than Clichy Su Bois in Paris or Scamia in Naples? Maybe I'm wrong? Is where your from like the vid Spanian did in a suburb of Sydney with fellas flying about in cars doing burn outs and boys rallying scrambler bikes up n down roads with ice heads n spice heads scattered through out the area? That was mad to see because in Ireland and UK people think of "Neighbours" when they think Australia. But it's nothing compared to Naples Mafia clans controlling the areas ordinary people live in through fear and "helping" them (loaning money or getting there kids to do dirty work to pay off debts). I live in Northern Ireland we have Paramilitaries who rule entire housing estates with fear, intimidation and respect due to killing cops n British army during the conflict here. Peoples mum's bring there sons who are involved in drug dealing or joyriding to be shot in alleys here, shooting by appointment like the Dr or Dentist except its fellas in balaclavas with 22 calibre handgun to clip your thigh, ankle or calf for being a "bold boy" 😂! Entire areas with businesses pay protection money to paramilitaries they even control who lives in social housing by intimidating foreigners out of their homes so they can move in there own people or family. Bouncers are ex/current paramilitaries as are Taxi Drivers 😅😂 eyes n ears everywhere much like the Camorra in Naples! But if your area of Australia is mad like that and this place in documentary then sorry my bad bro! Be interesting if Spanian goes to where you are on about - is it the worst place in Australia?
@@conr16no where near as hectic as the ghettos in Europe
@@conr16 Northern Ireland! That would have been something. I know that Scampia is quite rough, even if I saw some diamonds in the rough in "The Sails". Maybe, I didn't find it the worst because I'm part Napoletan at heart. But, you do admit that if Scampia still has functioning supermarkets whilst a video showing Airds and Claymore in Sydney showed barely stocked shops, then something must have been amiss somewhere. The area in Adelaide where I grew up, Rosewater, was just as rough as Scampia back in the 80's...one reason that contributed heavily to my clinical depression. Such was the doom and gloom...
@@DJ20131000It's a mad place in parts but beautiful in countryside n quiet parts of cities 😊. Recently paramilitaries walked right past the cops wearing hoodies and scarves to conceal there identity, took them down before entering court, put them back on again and sat in a court room to intimidate innocent victims /nice people's families and to listen to what a super grass (big informer) was saying.. In a first world country not Brazil, Albania or Somalia 😂! Fellas I would have bought grass off but who sold other drugs have been dragged out of a chippy took round an alleyway and shot in both legs people checked if he was OK rang an ambulance and kept ordering there takeaways.. Very eery place in certain estates.. In like 2002 or 2003 a young fella got literally crucified on a wooden fence for being caught trying to steal a top man in one of the paramilitaries BMWs.. People in that estate heard him screaming from being beaten with bat's n bars four literally an hour or two and no one did anything or went out to see what's going on.. Scary and Scummy at the same time.. The police cut him down with wood and nails still in his hands.. 😮 🙏
Have been all over Italy. Naples was really nice, the people, the food, the life. Just because you see some graffitis, former nice architecture which just need a fresh paint-over/restauration and narrow streets, doesn't make the whole city a ghetto (then Athens would be much closer to that). Unlike Marseille, which is a total rat-hole
LoL most of that architecture needs significantly more than “a fresh coat of paint”
Marseille, Athens and Napoli......all 3 ancient Greek cities
Marsiglia è la Napoli d'Europa
My routine~ Spanian on in the background and working out till episode is over. Great show mate, love seeing a side of the world people wouldn't otherwise see. Love your work!!
Haha, lovin this video Spanian, was in Naples 7 months ago, the weekend Napoli were presented with the Serie A championship, it was insane!! Naples is so raw, but Ioved it..
Crazy to think kids grow up in these areas, easy to comprehend how they end up recruited in the mafia, hoping to earn easy money and obtain a better life. Stay strong Italians! Keep up the great work Spanian!
It doesn't mean that Italy is all like this lol
I'll tell you whY napoli was the ugliest place I've been to 😆 couldn't wait to get out

Thanks brother for showing these types of videos. Bloody spin out seeing the conditions of how people live all around the world. Makes you appreciate living in Australia. Keep grinding bro, looking forward to the next vid!
how does it make you appreciate living in Australia? I'm pretty sure there's hoods there too, just like every country on this planet
lol, I hope you're not thinking that normal peoople in Italy or Europe lives in these conditions, this is just a ghetto like any other you can find around the planet.
You're just ignorant as fuck, not lucky
@@xMatz92 no no, let them keep appreciating and stay where they are, we're good!
Amazing show/channel. Thanks for your work!
From Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 love your content Spanian all the best brother
crazy to think that if there did happen to be an altercation or something there would be so many miscommunications and misunderstandings which makes it even scarier. this dude has balls
One night I was doin exactly that visiting worst part near the french Spain border and a Spanish cocaine dude with a plate full of coke line came to me speaking only Spanish which I don't understand at all I speak french and fluent English, it was the weirdest encounter of a 3 yrs backpacking trip 😂😂😂 I took a line just to be friendly (I have a 12h walk after that) and the guy started being menacing toward my family for no reason 😂😂(he must have snorted at least one g even more) only Spanish shyt I was able to say was "no problema"😂😂 I think the guy though I was looking for trouble 😂😂 I just wanted to say I'm peaceful just passing by not looking for trouble, that guy seemed like some type of cartel dude or idk but craziness in his eyes that was fun "cocaine plate Spanish speaking guy" lmao so yeah language barrier can get u trouble I think
Lmao I've been in Tijuana partying so many times, and this was before I spoke Spanish. Got a bunch of wild stories like yours.
Also because most people in Scampia not only don't speak English but they mostly don't even speak Italian but the local dialect Napoletano
@@ClaudeMagicbox yeh its Italian
This is the best series to come to the internet in 2023
Bruh love the videos! You need to make a Spotify playlist of all these tracks you use, I love these jazz-hop beats 👌
Dude, you got some serious balls. Awesome video. You are so respectfull and understanding for the people living in the hood. I liked that, It's informative and not like a zoo, were we watch others who have it less. Good fcking Job, Mate! I subcribed. Really good content.
Good stuff. So cool to see you break it down. Interesting that at 19:33 the graffiti says “No al turismo dell’orrore” which means “no to horror tourism”. So apparently they get visitors
Its often groups or daredevils or mafia enthusiasts, not people who actually know their way around and go on their own, respecting the place and stuff. So still class and good on ya, but that’s probably why they were mean-muggin the camera
It’s because the place gets a lot of tour groups of fans of the show Gomorrah
It's sad, I think Spanian's video is not exploitative and is very informative, but it also in some way reinforces some of the negative stereotypes about places and communities like this so maybe they don't want people to see how they live.
Italy would have to be the prime example of communities who are over tourism due to over-tourism. Venice would have to be the epicentre banning large cruise ships with hordes of tourists descending on a piece of 'land' which is so limited in size. I believe that there is so many tourists there that the locals have left taking away what was beautiful in the first place. Thank you for the translation I was wondering what it said but kinda knew at the same time.
3:21 catch the no turist re welcome haha
The laugh I had when the first thing you see on the bulding in scampia is the words " no turismo" and Spaninan just walks past it lmao! Love the content!!!
Keep waiting for Genny & Ciro to come out 😳. Great video boss
Yo man, this is the first video of yours i watched, and i immediately subscribed due to the music on the background!! Great editing work lad!! Dodgy place over there 💪🏼💪🏼
Spanian never fails to deliver the content we need! 👌👌
Hey man Im happy you took a good turn to do something positive in life and the years of been locked up didnt mess with your future perspective in life
It's such a shame that such an incredibly beautiful looking place is so run down. It's actually really sad.
Thanks for taking us to all these places 😅 much love for what you do
Fair play to the people of Scampia ❤ Hardly any dumping and the lady brushing her landing taking care of where she lives ❤
There are shitty little towns in England as well as cities where the locals throw their rubbish all over the place making them look worse than they are.
Naples is the real deal, real people ❤
Bro if you seen Naples 20yrs ago when the cammora stopped all the garbage trucks the trash was almost 2 stories high cause the cammaro went against the immigration policies that the government implemented the streets were a actual battle field between Sudanese & other African immigrants fighting to just live but some Italians are still stuck in the old ways like my dad
Scampia is a shit hole
Spanian Top G love the content, keep it coming bro 🔥🔥🔥
Bruh... Just stumbled across your channel for the first time today. I thoroughly enjoy this kind of content and although there are a lot of similar channels out there with regard to subject matter, your personality and screen presence sets you apart from the others. You've earned a like and my subscription from this video alone. Hope the others are equally as entertaining. Looking forward to checking out more of your content, mate! Give me 15 minutes for a quick walkabout and upon returning, i plan to binge watch more of your videos. Keep it real, bruv. Well done, lad! 👏.
Love from America- proud home of Section 8 government subsidized housing projects and some of the grimeyest public housing known to man. Peace and prosperity to you and yours bruv. Also... Congratulations on getting your shit together and turning your life around. We Americans LOVE a comeback story ! Keep fighting the good fight, mate. America is rooting for you, my friend. As i stated previously, you earned my subscription today. But more importantly, you earned MY RESPECT today as well. Best of luck, lad!
Naples would have been great for an all eats episode too, easily the best food I had in Italy! 🇮🇹
Definitely true that it’s not the cleanest or most polished looking city, but people there were pretty friendly and we felt quite safe when we visited (felt more on edge in other more “beautiful” cities). Scampia is notorious though and definitely looks like the worst part of Naples, feel sorry for the people who are born into living in those conditions.

It won’t be nice in Australia for much longer if we keep letting immigrants in by the millions
Believe me I’ve seen suburbs in Sidney even more sad then this!🤷🏻♂️probably cleaner but..
Only Naples and some other southern city in italy have this trash and shitty building problem. And in naples, probably, scampia is one of the dirtiest places. I live in the north and some city are full of trees, clean, well preserved buildings...
ummmm where lmao?@@luceinbattaglia9425
@@luceinbattaglia9425 Australia doesn't have a lot of public housing in 50s, 60s or 70s Brutalist architecture that's really been let go. There's the Sirius building, but it's not really on the same level as "the sails of Scampia" in terms of being an oppressive environment. The association of the architectural style with Cold War totalitarianism doesn't really help the dystopian impression.
The subdivided weatherboard public housing, rectangular steel Arc public contract fencing, "VIP" lounges full of pokies and Coles/Woolworths/Target shopping centres in the poorer outer suburbs are a different sort of sad.
Great video(s) I have enjoyed a couple of them today. We have some pretty sketchy hoods here in the USA you should visit. Portland, Oregon and Skid Row in Los Angeles California come to mind right away. Keep up the good work man!
Naples as a city is freaking beautiful and the people as well! Been there for a week last year and we are definately going again soon! Wonderful inhabitants, best food, great nightlife and great weather. What else could you want? By the way: you really visited the most desolate areas of the city. The city is like a gift box: buildings and areas might seem run down on the first look, but when you enter the building/flat/appartement/courtyard it's gonna be gorgeous and the people you meet will be friendly, sympathetic and talkative. Never talked so much to strangers, even though my Italian is quite rusty. And the food, omg, the food... That alone is worth going there. Best Pizza in the world. Fogliattelle. Everything with Lemons. Finger licking seafood. Fritto Misto. Limoncello. I could go on for hours. Dolce Vita!
I am from Naples and yes the entire city looks the hood because Naples has the biggest old town (historical center) in Europe.
Yes there's criminality here and there but as neapolitan I would be more scared in some cities in the U.S or even London where robbers used to attack people with acid batteries with many cases happened till few years ago.

Thanks so much for your content. My family is from Italy, this is such an eye opener to see how the city of Naples has changed over the years and not for the better it appears. Keep up your good work, its always compulsive viewing
What’s crazy is if you go through Hollywood and around Beverly Hills, when you’re not in the private estate, the roads and stuff look so shit and not maintained. The irony is the rich folk prefer this so it’s less pleasant for tourists.

They will saw his head and ball sack off @@bigdaddysacc
@ranieromaximino668You can't just brush a load of shit under your carpet and ignore it for years and not expect mad insects to come out from that area... Being in the centre of Naples isn't seeing everyday normal Naples you'd see a polished turd (shiny shit) version of the city, no offence. Naples is the same place where a few years ago there was piles of rubbish stacked high due to the Mafia corruption so I don't care that the centre looks nice or you can eat amazing pizza while staring at the sea.. 😂 You can go to Templebar in Dublin and buy 10 euro Pints of Guinness most Dubs will tell you that's not the "real" Dublin it's an overpriced cleaned up for American tourist and British stag do area.. You still have Tallaght, Ballymun and the Inner City flats where heroin dealing, shootings and organised crime goes on. (The Kinahans are the most notorious but there are many unknown crime families making big money off junkies n their families misery) 🙏 Spanian showing a side to Naples that Bob from America and John from England would *never* see is a good thing. Your mentality of it not being a part of Naples is probably one of the many reasons why young ones rebel against society and/or get involved in Camorra clans, No? 🙏
@ranieromaximino668 no offense but how is it not Napoli? both the good and the bad parts make a city what it is
Spanian, love your videos, and dialogue. Keep up the good work
I would have never known about some of these places. Crazy.
Great vid brother 🙏🏻 looking forward to more 👍🏻
Wow that’s unreal. Thanks for showing us all these places. You are 1 brave man 💪

Love this channel bruv
As an Italian living in Australia you have all my respect….. well done 👍
Loved this episode Spanian!! I’ve always wanted to go here but too scared! I love the brutalist architecture of these places.
Been plenty of times, its fine
It's perfectly safe just avoid dodgy people like any other place. People are treating this suburb like it's the streets of Baghdad
@@domdog6600well it does look like that
in that place ,nothing happens to normal people ,not implicated in Camorra matters
Brutalist architecture is ugly, dear. It was the cheapest way to build buildings. Most of the specimens are eyesores.
Man I’m starting to get addicted to this , fucking quality brother every episode
Bro I've been missing out glad I found Ur channel
Perfect timing! Relaxing, tired, looking for something interesting to chill out to.
Love your vids mate. Lived in Naples for 9 years, but never made it to Scampia (except for getting a lift from Piscinola a couple of times). What I can tell you is that there are a lot of other places round the whole bay that look like Scampia. Even some of the places that are not as directly connected to the Camorra also have that dingy look. Take some of the area going towards Nola for example, or even Noceria, or out towards Cuma you can also find these run down places. But it's mainly due to the poverty and problems of corrupt politicians that's caused this mess. Although I never made it to Scampia, I'd say the area around Garibaldi Station is pretty grim. Walking home from there at night you could definitely see some freaky stuff.
But what I will say is that for a city that has a reputation for crime, I never felt safer anywhere else, as safe as I did in Naples I mean. The people from Naples are the best in the world (I should know as I married one 😉). They are anobgst the most generous friendly warm people you'll ever meet. Enjoy your trip mate and make sure you check out Palermo too!
The moment you arrive at le vele there's a graffito on one of the towers that says something like "no all turismo dell orrore", which basically translates to something like "(We say) No to the tourism of horror"...which is ironic because that's what brought you to visit their hood in the first place 😉
i live in napoli, london , roma , buenos aires....just in london I wasn't calm when I walked around
Its so funny that you think the centre of Naples is like a big hood, I think it beautiful, I've been there and loved it! Great videos keep up thr good work!
Those flats are the most video game looking place I've seen in real life lol
2nd Aussie grand mother here I’m the same haven’t left Australia 🇦🇺 you should be very proud of your content & personality is beautiful you bring us great entertainment ❤
Shame he’s homophobic and calls women sluts
always a good day when spanian uploads
Sick footage bro!
I hope you never stop doing this content. #1 on UA-cam! 🤙🏾
Scampia makes Claymore look like a five star resort 😂😂
That's not even the worse place of Naples, it used to be in early 2000s. Nowdays there are other suburbs where Spanian would have been stopped from entering.
New favourite channel!
Cant stop watching these now...
Just came across the channel.. really enjoying these vlogs, fair play to you 👍
Naples is an essential destination if you travel to Italy, in my opinion. It is an epicentre of Southern Italian culture with a sketchy vibe to it. Some parts are fit for a postcode and other areas are vile. But it’s absolutely awesome.
lol no
I remember arriving in Naples and thinking wtf. Everything is wrecked, with more gates than a jail, and the only people you see on the street are old fellas playing cards and sketchy young dudes who disappear when you blink but you know they’re still watching somewhere. Respect to Spanian for walking around relatively comfortably because my head was on a swivel.
sounds like you have the heart of a lion mate
Oke
Yeah, I remeber visiting Naples once. My hotel was next to the main station and it was 10pm, I was like wtf, so many sketchy people :O
@@remib4997people there are like a theatre piece, speak loud, old fellas smile at you like a newborn baby, the Neapolitan is smart and resourceful.
Ok we al wanted to hear that
glad you documented the yelling fisherman guy, this kind of sellers are common on southern Italy, they often offer fresh market food but simetimes they goes with electric devices and electronics too.
You’re in a mafia stronghold and they have never seen you before . Your not paronoid bro they are watching your every move .
I’m from 🇬🇧 and addicted to your vids! I have watched this particular vid 3 times today. So funny! You were so brave and relatable. Come to the U.K.- go to the rough areas. Birmingham, Bradford, north east, London estates.
I was there in 2011, seems like not much has changed since then. Back then we were told we should only walk through together with a local. Crazy place.
Nah, come on. Overexaggerating here. Was there with a female and nothing happened to me/us during the day or night
awesome work, definitely hooked on ur style
Omg. Best video ever!
getting way better at speaking to the camera man, plenty of talking points, not just walking around saying "whats that" lol, AAA tier video, keep up
My family emigrated to Australia from Italy in 1950. Half from Trieste and the other from Naples. Still have relatives in both cities. Ur right about the whole of Naples looking like the hood and shit can go down anywhere not just the “business” areas 😂.
The whole of Naples doesn't look like that at all
Bro love your videos but I think you were a little unfair on Naples, Naples is amazing and to be honest I’d rather live in Naples over New York or many other cities I mean you can’t even compare it those old buildings roads what ever you see is full of history and stories old over new any day
Respect bro,,i used to be from the inner west of Sydney now livingin Melbourne,take acare out there man. love your content.
I've been to naples before, certainly can be sketch especially near the train stations. But other parts come to life at night and are super beautiful. Definitely an interesting place
Especially near the Main station! When we arrived we were shocked! Our time in Naples was fine but it definitely was an experience
Going in 2 weeks for 3days and my hotels by the train station😂gonna be fun
Hi mate, the guy selling seafood is a tradition in Italy in general, it's called "pescivendolo" and is pretty common even in the north where I grew up. In some places you also have the "arrotino", who comes to sharpen knives... kitchen knives of course ;)
🔥 I love your videos !!
One good thing to say about the people of Napoli is that is a clean metro system. The issue is lack of income and opportunity but good to see most folks taking care of a common resource like the metro.... These people deserve better from their leaders
Love this series. This looks like a proper ghetto. Best one so far.
Spanian is as real as it gets, good job my man. Love your walk abouts💯
My impressions from travelling around Italy earlier this year was that the majority of the country is just falling apart, especially the further south you go. Lots of litter in most places and public/private infrastructure poorly maintained. Fantastic place to eat and experience and very eye opening. I know it's a different culture and a different lifestyle, but man it made me feel incredibly privileged to be able to call Australia home.
naaa bro can’t say that, where have you been to? scampia?😂 yea some places in the south haven’t been fixed much but it’s not like it’s falling apart bro😂 it’s normal some places outside cities are worse but it’s normal
Really interesting yet again Spanion, keep up the great content. Pretty sure I heard you use the phrase "grouse" before which surprised me as I'm from Melbourne and now in my 50s thought "grouse" was a unique term we used here growing up as kids in the 70s and 80s. I still use it from time to time in reference to something being "awesome" or "great" but I know my two kids who are now teens look at me weird when I say it. I don't give a shit. Love it 🇦🇺👍
Hey mate, pom here, lived in Melbourne for eight years. Worked with a german bloke there who was the only person i knew to use that term - i thought it was a german only phrase!
@@martinjohnson2381 Interesting about your German mate. Wondering when it was that you lived in Melbourne for those 8 years ?, as I mentioned, the phrase “grouse” that I remember using a lot was pretty much back in the 70s & 80s when I grew up in Melbourne, until I moved to Sydney to live for 4 years then came back. When I got to Sydney in 1988 up until I left in 1991, I can’t remember anyone up there using it at all. Now still back in Melbourne I only now hear it occasionally, usually from people of my gen. Maybe it is a German saying, I don’t know where it first came here other than we always used it in reference to something being “awesome” etc. Apart from an actual bird being a “Grouse” I did just find in an Urban dictionary these few meaning-
“First recorded in 1924, the Australian word grouse may not be so popular today, but it is included on the urbandictionary website as Australian slang, primarily in use in Melbourne. According to the ABC's online Word Map, however, grouse meaning
'excellent' is…”
“grouse-
Word heard mostly in Australia's 2nd largest city, Melbourne meaning something wonderful, amazing.”
…and this one, which cracked me up 🤣
“grouse-
Just Something Fucken Awesome.
Tommo: “Get a fucken load of my Big Mac !”
Ben: “That’s fucken Grouse !”
Anyhow, thanks for the feedback 👍
Love these videos, when’s channel 7 giving you a commercial TV deal?
Oh good material .I remember this area only from italian films in 80's when I was kid. Awesome , thanks for that.
I am from there, I felt home during the video, the only tough I had all video, how crazy is this guy?fair play to you
Mad Respect for you Spanian 👊🏼💥 Walking through this part of Naples on your own without a local is hectic!! Looking forward to bumping into you one day on the streets of Sydney. Rita 🙏🏼
Mad respect for talking shit about peoples houses and living conditions? Also, why the f is he acting like people checking him out is weird? He is all tatted up, walking with a camera and backpack through a flat. Of course people are going to wonder who the hell he is. Dude is out of his mind and banking on peoples poor living conditions, without trying to speak to anyone. Full on mopper.
@@awdwadawda352Ur dragging it hard
@@awdwadawda352 obviously you have nothing better to do. If you don't like something then scroll on.
@@Rita-Indigo1111 I forgot that if I have a different opinion I cannot let it be known. Also, use interpunction you numbskull, you write like a toddler.
@@awdwadawda352lmao ur the wierd one, see how no one agrees with you? This is showing truth, that you want hidden for some reason. Get out of here, you are not welcome.
Damn! What a heavy tour that was. I watched the first few seasons of Gomorrah and couldn’t believe how many locations i recognized that you walked right through. In the series some of the apartments looked like total shit outside but then once in the door were actually quite nice. Regardless that is a miserable place to call home and you’ve got more nuts than a squirrel.
Same. And knowing how they get down out there, just watching this guy walk through had me on tenterhooks
Yeah you'd be surprised how nice some of the pads in these blocks are. The exteriors aren't indicative of the state of the apartments inside
@@grega.2755 Yes if the local Government maintained this properly it would have been a great place to live (I like the architecture
Hey lad, you're a tough guy! Or as we would say in Naples, "nu pesce pigliato c'a' botta". Keep up the good work man!
love the vids
it would be cool if you could meet somebody, friend them and then get a tour and an explanation of the hoods that you visit. would be cool to find out the popular drugs and also different money making methods for each different hood.
That would be the way to do it. Just him walking around alone is pretty lame.
I do agree, but you have to understand Span has said in the past jail made him a very anti-social person and he prefers to be on his own most of the time.
@@sneezingmango I really would have liked to see the inside condition of one of those apartments. If he could have found someone just to give him a quick tour inside theirs that would have been cool.
No one should be living like that, this is making me tear up at points. Spanian must have felt like he was walking into some dystopian future, idk how he does is. But thanks for doing it, I hope it motivates people to make the areas we live in better and try to find ways to help everyone.
And even when the people might be doing everything they can to make it a better area but if they are ignored by the government and when theres no community strength they cant fight the government to uphold their rights.
I'm talking about the lack of care from the government, unsafe living conditions and a lack of opportunities or community. Just because it's worse somewhere else doesnt make that place not shit to live and should be improved.@@Sam-pie
I get it but im not pitying them, I'm pissed off with the government, me being sad about it doesn't mean im pitying them. I think its bullshit we have so many resources and places like this litter every country, and the people who cant get out if they want to, just having a rant in YT comments.@@Sam-pie
@@Sam-piethey are not normal apartment buildings, the concreete is never washed and falling apart. This is not what people ussually see. Maybe in ghettos like this it is ussual.
Lol lol a full bank on the car steering wheel lol the daewoo.loving your videos champ,can't wait to start watching it's all eats
Loved ur video
If you’re looking to go to Athens, Omonia would be most reminiscent of Redfern/Glebe, but the place that is known as the no-go zone is Ano Liosia in the north of Athens (more reminiscent of Mt Druitt).
Went to Italy a few months ago - first trip I ever been to Europe. Hands down Naples was the city I liked the most more than Rome, Venice, Taormina and Catania, don't listen to what other people say till you go there yourself!
Totally agree, love Naples and Campania region ❤
It’s a total shite hole, the state of the place gets worse every year. Full of rats, Russian thugs, rubbish removal on strike half the year. The food is pretty decent but it’s certainly not the best city in Italy.
Big time my family is from napoli and its a place that gives you a feeling like nothing else
Love you..thank you for the appreciation
Im disabled and cant travel no more , so enjoying all your videos man ,
