Great vid! Small misconception I have to comment on though; a lot of europeans waited with having kids until after the war, so the boomer gen exists here too.
I wanted to start to watch the video buy in just some seconds of preview you already say fake things: - Mafia in Naples. There is NO MAFIA in Naples. Naples has Camorra. They are different. Mafia Killed Child, innocent people and make blood on blood. Camorra was a problem but not at that level. - Police has no control. People watch you video and can image that there is anarchy. but here there isn't. We are all good people. - We don't hate Milano. We hate people from North Italy that treat us like little people. Please you have a channel with a lot of followers, ask to someone that live in Naples the story and the city and don't go in another city with just read from google. Respect other city and don't put shit on that. Thank you Man.
Because of my dad's job, my parents moved to Italy from Algeria when I was 7 years old. We spent 2 years in Italy before leaving for another country where we settled. I am now 47 and I will always remember the 2 years we spent in Italy as the best part of my childhood. By far. The people, the cities, the food, the weather, playing football with the local kids in a park late at night. It was perfect. I support the Azzuri since 1982, even if they were to play against my country. This is how much I love Italy. Even now 40 years later, when I hear someone speak Italian, I get goosebumps. Your last videos in Italy have brought emotions and memories of my childhood. Thank you Peter for showing how beautiful Italy is.
@mnation694 do you know someone who rolls with tobacco? filters are more common than you‘d think. weed is frowned upon in Italy, things aren’t as clear cut as they may appear to be.
I was stationed there for years in the US Navy. Great people. You know what they say about Naples, “You cry when you get there and you cry when you leave.” Great place.
Hello and thank you for sharing. Going there soon with the Navy for business and leisure. Are there guides that I can hire? also what are the great places to visit and what are the best restaurants? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
I lived in Naples from 1970-1976 from 7 to 13 years old. Then moved to Greece until 1981. I learned 2 languages before I was 17. Napolitan and Greek. What an awesome childhood. My dad was US military.
@@jason3163 As a Greek who visited Naples recently, i would totally suggest it! The city is very vibrant & hectic in a way similar to Athens, but even more frantic i would say. It's not your typical tourist destination in Italy like Rome, Florence or Milan but definatelly worth a visit!
I am an italian from the north...... It is totally true that there are so many prejudices both way round, and basically we are different nations. I have been in Naples a few years ago, and against all the expectations, I really adored it. And what I adored at the most was the people. Su funny, and welcoming, and friendly. Because we looked like foreigners to them, they showed much interest in us, which is very different from what we do here. Everybody was asking where we were from, what we wanted to do next, if we were enjoying our stay, and wanted be of help with suggestions. It was so gorgeous. In our north almost everybody keeps you at distance doing "our" business, and we feel it very weird when somebody tries to break that distance. And then....the food....the great architecture...the climate. Naples has an enourmous potential, and I think it will come out in the next few years. It is not a place where I would be able to live, cause I think you must be part of it to really handle all the situations which are not normal for us but I would adore to go there back soon, and meet those wonderful funny and nice guys that are most of the Neapolitans!
ti posso dire una cosa: come mi sono abituato io a Milano, nonostante l'onta del pregiudizio che spesso ho dovuto sopportare, ce la puoi anche tu a Napoli. Non so di che parte del nord sei, ma per è stato facile con Milano, poiché infine abbiamo le stesse cose, ma funzionano un po' meglio su. Al carattere ti abitui, impari a prendere le cose che ti servono e a lasciare andare altre.
Why would any neapoletan think you looked liked a foreigner??? WHAT A LOAD OF ROT. FAMMI STU PLEASE, STOP ELEVATING YOURSELF TO LOOK DOWN ON NAPLES, I LOOK MUCH MORE A FOREIGNER TO ITALIANS, EVERY ONE THINGS I AM ENGLISH QUAGLIO SONG VERACH VERACH NAPULITAN TE FET IL NORD..
I was in Napoli just a month or so ago and ended up staying over a week. I connected deeply with it and didn't want to leave. I loved the chaos, madness, and liveliness, walking the colorful streets and back alleys dodging motorcycles whirring past. The food was seriously the best of my life. I was always discovering something interesting. One of the greatest cities in the world IMO.
It's the smelliest and dirtiest city in Europe. I did not like it one bit, the only reason why I visited was Pompeii. And the pizza was awesome. In a way it is really like you described it. But I would say that is not what most people really enjoy, likely just in their head before they visit. Not my cup of tea, but good for you that you enjoyed it.
No, the smelliest and dirtiest in Italy is probably Rome currently, but there are far worse cities in Europe. Also, are you sure you really went to Naples? Because it'is insane to go there only to visit Pompei and missing landmarks like the Sansevero Chapel, the National Archeological Museum, the Royal Palace, The San Carlo Theatre, the Sant Elmo Castle, the Castel dell'Ovo, the Maschio Angioino Castle, The Santa Chiara Church, the christian catacombs, the underground aqueducts and so on... Naples is probably one of the the city with most artistic attractions in the world.
My family is in Napoli and my name is Margherita. I live in San Francisco and dream of the day I can retire in Italia. I spent so much time there and never felt unsafe. People are REAL. Neapolitans invented “pay it forward” When you get a coffee, you can pay for a “ cafe sospeso” which is a coffee for someone who needs one and doesn’t have the money. You would never go hungry in Napoli. Even when there is petty crime, it’s not wanted but the saying is, “everyone needs to eat”. I’m glad you went to Napoli. It’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Thanks for making this video @Peter. I was just telling my friend how to eat pizza the right way. 🍕
The most beautiful thing in this video is the chemistry between the two reporters. Such a vivid and informative communication they both have, underlined with charming giggling. Such a pleasure watching this video! Thank you so much ❤
it's definitely the people that make this city so unique! in the early '90 , when my beautiful homeland country was stricken by war, our napulitan' friends, being deeply concerned for us and realizing the danger we were exposed to, insisted that we should leave Croatia and come to Napoli.. I was only 11 yo at that time, but I remember everything as if it was yesterday.. how they organized everything, the way they treated and took care of us during those 7 months.. unparalleled generosity
We have a 'brand' of Christian, even Catholics, here in the US that is very cold and judgemental. It does my heart so much good to see the wholesome warmth of my church in Naples.
Last month I was visiting Napoli for the 2nd time this year. Absolutely love the hectic and chaos over there. People are very friendly and food is outstanding! I don't even feel like visiting Rome or Venice anymore, Napoli it is !
Having moved away from Naples over 10 years ago, every time I go back the changes are noticeable - especially in the city centre. Places like Forcella or Quartieri Spagnoli that used to almost be "no go zones" (if you were not a local or there to buy drugs) are now full of tourists day and night and it generally feels a lot safer. Naples is an incredible city absolutely worth visiting, you won't find another place like it.
Pfft I made the mistake of staying alone in Piazza Garibaldi… walked around for maybe 15 minutes and decided I could never be out after dark again. I wanted to love Napoli but the harassment made me so angry inside 😅 Never felt unsafe in Palermo tho, another crazy city
@@helend1557 sorry to hear that spoilt the trip for you, unfortunately piazza Garibaldi and the whole area around the train station can be quite sketchy and intimidating, especially for a woman.
All my family is from around Avellino, I used to visit a lot until 15 years ago and they always said to avoid Napoli. Will be visiting next time I'm in Europe, amazing video
@@helend1557 Unluckily you didn't chose the best area to stay, the area around the central station is a bit sketchy at the night, but not really dangerous. Next time you better stay in Vomero or Chiaia, they are the most quiet quarters of the city, where you will feel a lot more safe even at late night.
I miss Italy so much. Naples was my first experience on my trip to Italy and a sweet little Nona saw we just arrived and she brought us into her home and she fed us and warmed our hearts. I had such a positive experience on so many levels. The entire country is beautiful, the food is incredible and the people are kind and welcoming and the architecture is breathtaking. I did however experience my first ‘flasher’ on public transit when making my way back to my hotel after a night out 😅😂
Naples was my first experience of Italy too. What you and everyone else fails to mention is the whole city is a rubbish dump. Trash on every street and stinks of sewage. Avoid at all costs people
I was stationed in Naples for 3 years. We absolutely loved it. I recognized some of the streets you were shooting on. So many adventures. The people were tough, genuine and giving.
@@GONZOFAM7 I'm from north Italy, I live nearby the USAF base of Aviano. It's always a good thing having soldiers around. It's good for economy. You're welcome.
@@danielefabbro822 I didn'take it up to Abviano. I understand it is beautiful but all of Italy is. I was taught how to make espresso with a bialetti by a fireman friend of mine.
Naples seems to be buzzing with so much festivities going around. We appreciate the time and effort you’ve invested into making these types of content for all of us here. May God bless you in all your travels.
@@Tonyx.yt. you must be great to talk to at s party, total nause. Some street scenes remind me of where I lived in Barcelona. Everyone there was out of work & just laying about all day, living from illicit gains.
As an Italian I can tell you that everything Gateano told you is true, he is a very intelligent person and the way he brought you to Naples goes far beyond what a tourist can see, we Italians are true, curious and smiling (the only thing I would tell you is that even in Rome you eat pizza with your hands) ahahaha Good Job Peter, I love you!
As an italian you have nothing to contribute here only as an Neapolitan you can speak on Naples. If you are not from Naples you are a foreigner even as italian as much as anyone from outside naples and campania. 😂
@@ragusano86 you know me? i am sicilian, a land very close to naples, i have neapolitan friends and i grew up in italy for 26 years, i am not stupid and i know the traditions of my country, and in any case don’t think that the mentality is different from the "Italian" one because it is always the same nation
My wife was born in a small city, 30 min from Naples, I go 2x year and always fell in love with something new. From Antiquity to the 18th century, Naples has been in the top 3 of most influent cities in the Western world. The cultural heritage is just unheard of in Europe. It's crazy how you can just come across a street vendor and I'll start telling you about the History of his city and its traditions. Naples is a must go for any person with an interest in Western History and arts.
Italy is such an amazing country. Sometimes so tight yet so disorganized, so beautiful yet so dirty, it has insane contrasts. But its people, food, architecture and history are unmatched.
In 2008 I had the pleasure of spending 5 weeks in Italy with a dear Italian friend from Naples. We spent a lot of time in Naples visiting with her family. Even though my Italian was almost nonexistent, I made many new friends and had the time of my life. I am from Baltimore and I felt the two cities had a lot in common. There was a harbor area and cobblestoned streets a lot like the older sections of my city. A pizza from Naples is like no other pizza in the world. The family-owned shops were a joy to explore. Thanks for this video. This makes me want to go back and spend time with all my friends there. Ciao!😃
There is nothing like going to a place finding a great guide who likes to talk and who knows things and walking around the city together. This was really inspiring and so interesting. Not like the tourist videos of the past. Much more like how I felt when I toured around Europe in the 80s and did it locally not as a tourist. Thank you Peter for re-creating that kind of travel through your Vlogs. Keep it up! Really like your style!
except for a couple of overstatements and clichés (the one about being absolutely socially accepted to be 50 and live with your parents and the part about quartieri spagnoli which was true 30 years ago) , Gaetano was really an exceptional guide. He was really good at explaining the reasons why Naples (and in general the south) is the way it is, its history, its culture. He is aware of his history and i like that.
and also, stating that italian is spoken mostly in higher status families is a bit of a simplification: yes, those families tend to speak italian more than a working class family but even a lawyer or a judge in Naples (and southern Italy in general) is always able to speak dialect as well. I can speak for myself, i come from a working class family but i am educated, got a university degree, i live abroad now and i mostly speak italian with my friends but i can switch to dialect anytime i want and i enjoy it, it is my native language, my identity. Italian is useful, beautiful, necessary to speak about complex things, of course, and i love it but neapolitan is the language of family, identity, heart and i hope the younger generation will keep on speaking it but i doubt it unfortunately. I thing it will sadly disappear in 50-60 years from now.
@@affeofen These days it will be a miracle if any language survives....or culture. If anything does it will be in Naples!! I notice on the Walk tours that people still socialize and talk with their hands even though the phones are in their pocket.
Why is it such an issue if a man continues to stay with his parents?here in Asia people never move out and the process goes on for generations and you take care of your parents and kids and they take care of you and life is beautiful
I LOVE Naples! It is NOT for the traveler who likes resorts, luxury, pretty sites, etc. It is for the traveler who actually enjoys being immersed in different cultures, seeing how other people on the other side of the planet live, and who has a bit of street smarts. It looks dirty and it is but there is a really amazing lively energy about it. Can't wait to see it again. unfortunately it was for me but not my husband so hopefully ill find a chance to go.
@@italico3222I say this with love because Naples has been my favourite city throughout my whole life, but Naples has cleaned up a lot of the last 10 years, it used to very dirty …..not in a way that you’d mind because the city is so amazing, it made up for the fact. The reputation of it being dirty needs to be put to bed now, but it was once very true. It kind of added to it’s grittiness. I kind of miss how Naples used to be, even though I’m so proud of the way it has tuned itself around
I absolutely agree with this comment, but it does have very pretty sites. In my opinion, it has the most beautiful architecture in the world. I know what you mean, though 😊
I was in Napoli in September and it's the one of the greatest cities I have ever visited. The food is great,the history is great,the people are great, I will definitely be returning.
He failed to mention the trash everywhere, graffiti everywhere, the smell of sewage in half the city mixed with piss and hot trash, the nasty air pollution and traffic. Get past all that it’s then it’s ok lol
In recent times Naples has been receiving a very remarkable tourist boom. The city really deserves it. I think Naples and its province have one of the most impressive concentrations of art, ancient monuments and naturalistic places in the world, islands, ruins, eighteenth-century palaces. There is a lot to see.
In 1969 my husband and I went to Florence and walked all over the churches and art but met NO Americans...then we went, on day 6, to the Ponte Vecchio (The one surviving old bridge after WWII and mostly gold and jewelry shops). All we saw were Americans!! We are such rubes!
I don't think it's right to say a city "deserves" a tourist boom like it's a positive thing. A lot of tourism is often a bad think for locals, especially for people actually living in a city center.
I wish I can visit Napoli some day. My love for Maradona growing up as a kid made me fall in love with this city, and the more I know about Maradona's story with Napoli and what it meant politically and socially the more I love both the city and the player.
I'm living close to Napoli, i love Napoli football club (it's not supporting,is loving) and at the same time my favorite foreign football club is Liverpool since 2005. Only love and respect for u❤️
@@cameronbrown4403 you're right but we just don't care. I love the genuine game of football and Napoli & Liverpool will always be in my heart no matter what
I have lived about 15 minutes from Naples for about 30 years. Food-art-culture-history. It has it all. It is amazing to see how it has become one of the top tourists attractions in Italy - and not just a place to catch a ferry or train to go somewhere else. I have never been mugged but I am not naïve. You need to always be aware of your surroundings, just like you would in any big city. Would love to meet Gaetano! 😃
I went there in 2009 and the garbage was everywhere and all of these halted construction projects. Is it still like that (you know what I mean)? My great grandparents are from Naples and while I enjoyed the city, I was very happy that they had left.
@@aaronfalzerano9432 ciao. in 2009 there was a major garbage crisis in the Campania region where Naples is the capital. I remember how terrible that was, there were strikes and garbage was not being collected.. That crisis has passed and actually many parts counties in the region have recycling programs where they actually collect trash 6 days a week. We have to separate into categories. That being said-Naples is a large city and there are problems-however alot has changed since 2009.Many things for the better.
@@lotusriche4505 if you love art, I suggest visiting some of the many churches in the centro storico and rione sanità . many of them are free and have amazing art work. I also believe, if you have time, to head to some of the other Neighborhoods like Vomero and Pisillipo, Chiaia for shopping...
I love living in this Crazy city....it makes me feel alive...💙 My parents immigrated to London in 1960....where I was born and raised...while they had a successful life there through hard work....they never forgot their Neopolitan roots...both came back here in the end...I've always had an affinity with this city since I was a child probably something they passed onto me...so 17 yrs ago I packed up my life in London and came to live here....and I've never lived to regret it!! 🤗💙
I am a london girl too! I'm thinking of doing a solo trip to Naples in a couple months. Is it safe for a female alone? I don't know why but I have a strong sense that I should visit Naples.
@@pancakesandtea Italy is pretty safe almost everywhere. Avoid bad neighborhoods (usually outside), unlit places, parks at night.... Be careful in tourist places such as stations. There are no special rules to follow. Maybe try to get around with a local friend.
@@giovannimoriggi5833 thanks, I think I'm going to do it. Bit nervous, as I've only ever done a solo trip to Paris and usually go on holidays with friends or family. But I really really want to do a solo trip, but wondering if Naples is the right choice alone as a woman. Florence would be easier and safer I guess, but naples is calling me never had a strong calling like I'm having right now. I don't have any local friends. Would you suggest I just come to Naples with a group of friends or I should just do it on my own?
@@pancakesandtea I don't know you, it's up to you. Don't be afraid of Italian cities, the most that can happen to a tourist is usually finding a scammy restaurateur who overcharges you, or a pickpocket on the subway (in the few cities where there is one). If you knew the history of the city of Naples, you would know that it has been a place full of "scoundrels" since Renaissance times. But, as you can see, it's not famous for being an unsafe place, despite being a big city full of life. There are definitely bad places (as I told you: some particularly poor neighborhoods), and you will find a lot of chaos. But the one big piece of advice I can give you is: try not to look like a tourist, because you might be ogled by pickpockets and Latin Lovers. Also, I recommend you study the history of Naples as much as you can. You will be overwhelmed by the energy of the city, but that place has one of the most important histories in Europe (and in Mediterranean Sea). Did you know that Naples is the only city in the world to give its name to a musical genre (Neapolitan music)? *_^ PS: sharing the trip with friends can always be fun and reassuring, but you can do as you feel.
Yeah, that's true. Many thinks that history of Italy starts with Rome and her empire, but actually Naples and the old cities of Magna Grecia are even oldest. 3000 years old to say the least.
This video evoked such vivid imagery that I felt as though I was strolling through the streets of Naples, immersing myself in the local aromas and engaging with the inhabitants. The execution was simply exquisite.
Peter and Gaetano, grazie mille. This was truly " unique ". A genuinely heart felt journey through Naples. Capturing its essence. With the wise and warm words of your guide, Gaetano.
Your videos are not only interesting and informative, but something that keeps your attention for the entire segment. I love UA-cam, and this may be an example of its finest content.
That shot from 19:10 to 19:23 looks like it comes out of a movie, I mean the guy on the motorcycle, despite the camera passes in front of his eyes he never stares at it, incredible!
I am happy to say we have some pizza maker here in my local unimportant Dutch city, who is from Napoli and makes pizza exactly like these, and also gives little workshops for people to make their own. Nobody usually believes that they are really cooked only for like 90 seconds, until they do it themselves. Everything is important, from the wood used, to the shape of the oven, and the way you prepare the dough. I go there a few times a year to eat proper pizza, but I also still eat ordinary domino's pizza if I have to.
For me it's the way of talking of the man in the Margherita's Pizza restaurant. His attitude and gesture. I met a lot of Italian people in my life and the charm coming out from the humble but yet humanly thick behavior of some of them had always inspired me deeply. I hope I could have this kind of portamento me too. Ps. I was in Naples and went to the costa amalfitana with my Hawaiian friends, we were all amazed by how beautiful it was, and by the Vesuvio's view from the bus, by the way, the bus driver's driving technic was as well astonishing! Will never forget how he could turn the huge bus in a tiny impossible corner with so much agility. That was WOW. Greetings from China and Switzerland. Grazie Italia.
It's been 17 years since I was last in Napoli, but the memories still bring a tear to my eye. I walked many of those streets and enjoyed a Margherita at Brandi's. It really is a wonderful city.
It's really refreshing to encounter someone so happy and smiling like this guy on UA-cam! Normally all I see are videos slagging off the government or stuff about fentanyl! This chap really cheered me up! 😂
I was in Naples for week in June and I fell in love! I cried to leave! They say you cry twice, once when you come and once when you leave. I never felt the need to cry while arriving, but definitely felt the need to cry while departing! Love my Italian heritage! 🇮🇹
@@lucaantonelli1511 da napoletano, vorrei aggiungere che grazie al cielo qui non viviamo tutti come questo signore (che per quanto mi sembra di capire, gestisce un centro sociale 😂) e ovviamente non condividiamo questo stereotipato campanilismo che espone. Il ragazzo è evidentemente un individuo ignorante riguardo quella stessa città che dice di amare e quella che è la propria nazione. Per cui, in preda a ciò, si scatena nei più bassi luoghi comuni, purtroppo ancora presenti in diversi strati della classe sfortunata della città. Il problema di Napoli è da 2500 anni la gente che l’abita.
Wonderful video! The charming atmosphere of Naples is captured in every frame. I felt like I was strolling through the narrow streets and enjoying the views of this magnificent city myself.
I was there 5 years ago. I traveled for a month across Italy and Naples ended up being my favorite city in Italy. The vibe and the food is out of this world. Thank you for reminding me what a beautiful city this is ✌️🇨🇦
Italian cuisine is incredible!.... truly simple, economical, and made with a few ingredients adapted through countless regional recipes, but with some simple tricks and underlying principles. Learning Italian cooking is really a great investment of time!
Thank you Peter for this beautiful video. This year we returned from Florence and I was much impressed by the friendliness and warmth of the Italians. I hope one day to visit Napoli and enjoy those beautiful streets with so much history.
I love how you show the real side of a city not the fantasy tourist experience. Thank you so much for teaching us about the true culture. I loved how that man who was an immigrant states that the people of Naples are the most welcoming and helpful. Now Napoli is on my bucket list! And I cant wait to have the glorious looking Pizza❤️
I am so glad I found this video. I am Napolitan. My parents came to NYC from Avellino which is very close to Napoli in 1965. I speak old style Napolitan dialect.
The one thing I remember of Naples, when I visited with a school back in 1980, was the architecture, the vibe and the delicious food. Neapolitans are very friendly, cheerful and welcoming.
I love how you keep the recepies the old way. This is how you know how the food was in the past and you keep a history with you in everyday life. Good on you, Italy!
Fellow Italian here - Great nostalgia of my trip to Naples watching this. Also, fantastic camera work catching the celebration of the goal and then spinning around to catch the dude on the motorcycle reacting! 19:10
Your ability to hold the camera at the perfect angle while having an intelligent conversation with someone is incredible. My video would be all over the place😂
As a Neapolitan born and raise in Naples that moved in Chicago 10 months ago, this was the most touching video to watch, can't wait to go back to visit my family ♥️
@@marcomariaizzo1868 You must miss Napole a lot .. I do and I only visit only once in a while...Anyway the best to you ..one of these days you have to teach me Gaetano I wish I could space it like you ;)Greetings from Malibu ,CA
I am proud to be a neopolitan, born in Australia, to both parents from Naples, I definitely inherited the fire, passion and exremely loud voice that can be herd from two streets over. Love the old country and been learning the old ways since i was a toddler, i have people dropping in every day at all times of the day and night just to see what i cooked and hoping to get invited for a meal. Naturally i always cook enough for 10 people, when on actual fact should be cooking for two. Lol. I love being appreciated for my cooking.
Thank you Peter for the fascinating look a Naples. I must admit I fell a little in love with your guide. He he evokes such joy and actually does something for the less fortunate.
Loved the video and thank you for bringing back memories. My dad was stationed in Naples so we got to experience it all ourselves too. The city, the people and of course some of the best food I ever had. Napoli will always have a place in my heart. It still feels like a home to me.
The world is such a fantastic place, full of adventure, diversity and culture. I love all the historical buildings around Naples, you can see the history in the architecture. Your vids never disappoint Peter, Bravo!
Thank you Peter! So lovely to have a local to take you around and to express well, what it is to be Napolitano. I have always been fascinated with Naples and the history. Yet the closest I have come to Naples is Pozzuoli. The family I am married into has hundreds of years connected to The Church with Priests and Nuns. So we visited a home for nuns in Pozzuoli. Yet, Ever since I was 8 years old I was struck with Monte Vesuvius and Herculaneum! My 8th grade teacher had the class do short assay's of whatever we desired and she had a very large collection of National Geographics, so while looking through them I saw one with a small city in the foreground and in the background an epic volcanic eruption! I was obcessed to find all I could about Naples, the volcano and how long people had lived under Vesuvius! I have followed ever since! Again thank you Peter and thanks to your guide!
i spent 3 winters there,ive lived all over europe and its by far my favorite city in europe,its alive and very freindly,the first person i met quicklly schooled me when i said NAPLES he said,NAPOLI!!!!,naples is in florida
Great video. I came back from Naples yesterday, went with my wife and two sons aged 12 and 15. Apart from a few places where we felt a bit uncomfortable, we loved the city. Very friendly people, incredible views and amazing food. The best views were probably from Castel St Elmo. It’s a great place to visit and base yourself, and you can then to explore nearby places such as Pompeii, Capri, Sorrento and the rest of the Amalfi coast. Shout out to Salerno where we spend a few days and had a wonderful time. Ciao Napoli and Grazie for a fantastic time! ❤
Great vid. I first visited Napoli in 1985, no tourists and very rough but one of my favorite Italian cities. I remember sitting at an outdoor restaurant eating pizza and two young boys "scugnizzi" ran by and stole the pizza, plates and all, from a couple sitting nearby. The prostitutes in the Spanish Quarter really did have red lights outside their apartments (the Police's "Roxanne" had been popular a few years before "Roxanne, you don't have to turn on the red light"). For some reason the entire city's traffic lights weren't working yet there seemed to be some method in the chaos and traffic still flowed. Sitting at another outdoor restaurant, saw a car accident that disabled both vehicles and the two men seemed so angry they nearly came to blows. As they cooled down and waited for friends to pick them up they sat down together for some food and wine and within 30 minutes seemed the best of friends Another day taking the ferry from Napoli to Procida the ferry launch ramp wouldn't close. A crowd of passengers formed around the two beleaguered work men trying to fix it, each member of the crowd had their own advice, commentary, criticism and insults to impart on the situation...this went on for two hours. One last memory, I crashed at a friend of a friend who was a civilian with the US Navy and lived in the wealthy Vomero neighborhood in the hills overlooking Napoli. Nearby was a park and parking lot which every night was filled with cars, all of their windows covered with newspapers...and those cars were rocking. Every morning the street sweepers raked up all the newspaper and had a bonfire. Yes, there are amazing sights to see in Napoli but my most vivid memories remain these serendipitous experiences and the people of Napoli. Returned again in 2010 and the city seemed a bit more polished, traffic and mopeds still insane, still love Napoli.
Hi stephen, as an italian i can say that the stories you've shared are really so precious. I hope you had a great time here. The story about the dudes becaming friends after the car accident made me really smile xD
My grandmother on my Mom's side is from Naples Italy. My other grandparents are from Sicily and Bari. I visited over there when I was a kid many years ago and met my cousins. Such a beautiful country hopefully one day I'll return. 🍝🍷☕
I'm Italian. I was born in Naples and now I live in Milano. It was funny for me seeing your reactions and the story from your point of view. I agree with Gaetano on every aspect!
@@andreraphael6727 ahah no, I don’t. I don’t like it but it’s related to air pollution, weather and also because there is no sea. However is a very nice city to live nightlife
Yay, glad you did a video on Naples! I have travelled a lot, all over the world, but Naples is still one of my favourite places I have been. So vibrant and colourful, beautiful setting, and of course good food!
I was in Naples in 1965 with the US Navy. My very first pizza was in Naples. I was a young man from a small southern town pizza had yet hit my towm.. I remember the motor scooter speeding down the narrow streets. At that time there was a big Communist movement. My buddy and I had to run from a demonstration. There was a USO club near the port entrance. I servered aboard the USS Manley DD 940. Just a few thoughts about the visit. We were there twice in 65. Thanks Peter for the memory.
Agree is that kind of a country you almost touch history!! Thank you for your service i took a lot of time talking with ww2 veterans and listen they're own take in things going on will allways cherish and pass on to newer generations
One of the best walk-around sightseeing and history dialogues I have come across. I was hoping it was even a longer video than it was. I wanted to get on the next plane to visit and have a similar opportunity with your friend. Thank you.
Love reading the comments. so much to learn! Italy, what a gorgeous country, sumptuous in it's history, architecture, landscape, the people! The pizza looked incredible, I want some now!
Ive been all over Italy for a full month loved Italy but Napoli it’s the one city blew my mind the most it has old stuff to visit you can see the influence from the Spanish the french and so on but the best part is the unique energy that you feel from the moment you step going back in 2 day’s can’t wait
I have visited Italy eight times in the last eight years. My wife and I visited Naples going on four years ago and I can attest to what Peter and Gaetano are saying, especially regarding the food. When we return (God willing) one of the main reasons will be to once again enjoy the fantastic food of Naples. One aspect that they missed is concerning the outdoor markets. I stumbled upon one that was close to our hotel and purchased a linen sport coat at an incredibly cheap price that I always receive compliments on. I can't wait to return to Italy; perhaps as soon as this June!
@@peternatalie6586Hi! Do you remember which market you found the coat, I'm new here and I'm trying to learn everything I can from this amazing city! Also, do you know if there's any fruit markets? They tend to be expensive in supermarkets, thanks on advance!
I love the fact that you both talked about the good side and bad side of Naples, I'm really proud of being Napoletana but sometimes it's really hard cause of various things happening in the country. But the guy should have brought you in the catacombs or the Napoli Greco-Romana it played an important role during the WWII. Btw everybody hates the vomeresi, they're the Milanesi of Napoli. The strange thing about pizza is that in all Italy it's the same ingredients: for 1kg of flour(a strong w type 0) you need 65% water(for the pizza verace, so the authentic recipe) 1-3 grams of yeast 20g of salt and a long proofing. But it changes everywhere you go, so we(Neapolitans) arrived to the conclusion that what makes the perfect pizza is the water we have in Naples; but I'm sure that the secret is the passion, the knowledge, the teqnique, the experience and the most important one... The love.
@@brownjatt21 in fact it's just a story that we like to believe, put if you see on internet there's a study that shows that New York and Naples have a almost identical water.
Here's a summary of the main points from the video about Naples, Italy: 1. Historical Context: - Naples is older than Rome, founded by Greeks. - The city was an independent nation for centuries before Italian unification in 1860-61. 2. Culture and Society: - Described as chaotic but functional, with a strong sense of community. - Many residents live in multi-generational homes in the same neighborhood for life. - The Neapolitan dialect is widely spoken, especially among lower classes. - Football (soccer) is extremely important, with Diego Maradona revered as a local hero. 3. Economy and Social Issues: - Large wealth disparity between rich and poor, with a small middle class. - Many young people are leaving Naples due to lack of economic opportunities. - The Camorra (local mafia) has significant influence over local businesses and street vendors. 4. Food: - Naples is famous for its pizza, with many excellent pizzerias. - The city has a rich culinary tradition, including pastries like sfogliatella. 5. Urban Landscape: - Narrow streets in old neighborhoods, making it difficult for authorities to control. - Mix of grand architecture (like Galleria Umberto I) and crowded, working-class areas. 6. Tourism: - Growing tourist industry, changing the city's reputation for danger. - Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii are major nearby attractions. 7. Social Initiatives: - The video showcases a community project converting a former youth prison into social housing. 8. Challenges: - Stereotypes and prejudices from other parts of Italy. - Ongoing issues with organized crime and informal economy. The video presents Naples as a complex, vibrant city with a unique culture, facing both challenges and opportunities in the modern era.
Forza Napoli!! This Italy series is absolutely amazing! My entire family both sides are from Italy (Rome, Sicily and Naples). I’ve see the whole country numerous times but seeing it through your eyes with your guides is very special! 👌👌👍👍 🇮🇹 🇮🇹🇮🇹
@Joseph Stalin Sei napoletano, il tuo giudizio non conta, fai giudicare gli altri. Se vuoi ti posto un video dove le persone giudicavano davvero Napoli e il degrado che hanno trovato. Ve lo dite da soli che è bella, fate ridere😄
I thought your guide was so engaging, pleasant, and knowledgeable!! I also thought that the way you captured Napoli makes me definitely want to explore. (But then I’ve been to Italy, including Sicily, five times and absolutely love it, so I’m sure that’s at least part of why this video appealed to me so much).
👋Thanks for watching!

Be proud of your own ancestors!
Great vid! Small misconception I have to comment on though; a lot of europeans waited with having kids until after the war, so the boomer gen exists here too.
I wanted to start to watch the video buy in just some seconds of preview you already say fake things:
- Mafia in Naples. There is NO MAFIA in Naples. Naples has Camorra. They are different. Mafia Killed Child, innocent people and make blood on blood. Camorra was a problem but not at that level.
- Police has no control. People watch you video and can image that there is anarchy. but here there isn't. We are all good people.
- We don't hate Milano. We hate people from North Italy that treat us like little people.
Please you have a channel with a lot of followers, ask to someone that live in Naples the story and the city and don't go in another city with just read from google.
Respect other city and don't put shit on that.
Thank you Man.
Our name originated from that region of Italy
Because of my dad's job, my parents moved to Italy from Algeria when I was 7 years old. We spent 2 years in Italy before leaving for another country where we settled. I am now 47 and I will always remember the 2 years we spent in Italy as the best part of my childhood. By far. The people, the cities, the food, the weather, playing football with the local kids in a park late at night. It was perfect. I support the Azzuri since 1982, even if they were to play against my country. This is how much I love Italy. Even now 40 years later, when I hear someone speak Italian, I get goosebumps. Your last videos in Italy have brought emotions and memories of my childhood. Thank you Peter for showing how beautiful Italy is.

I was stationed there for years in the US Navy. Great people. You know what they say about Naples, “You cry when you get there and you cry when you leave.” Great place.
Yes . Beautiful Naples.
Hello and thank you for sharing. Going there soon with the Navy for business and leisure. Are there guides that I can hire? also what are the great places to visit and what are the best restaurants? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I lived in Naples from 1970-1976 from 7 to 13 years old. Then moved to Greece until 1981. I learned 2 languages before I was 17. Napolitan and Greek. What an awesome childhood. My dad was US military.
Naples is a Greek city. The Greeks created Naples
👏
As a Greek, i really want to visit Naples. Looks like a very interesting place
@@jason3163 As a Greek who visited Naples recently, i would totally suggest it! The city is very vibrant & hectic in a way similar to Athens, but even more frantic i would say. It's not your typical tourist destination in Italy like Rome, Florence or Milan but definatelly worth a visit!
@@jason3163 You are so close....it's a must. Any regular pizza or pasta place will be the best you have ever eaten.
I am an italian from the north...... It is totally true that there are so many prejudices both way round, and basically we are different nations. I have been in Naples a few years ago, and against all the expectations, I really adored it. And what I adored at the most was the people. Su funny, and welcoming, and friendly. Because we looked like foreigners to them, they showed much interest in us, which is very different from what we do here. Everybody was asking where we were from, what we wanted to do next, if we were enjoying our stay, and wanted be of help with suggestions. It was so gorgeous. In our north almost everybody keeps you at distance doing "our" business, and we feel it very weird when somebody tries to break that distance. And then....the food....the great architecture...the climate. Naples has an enourmous potential, and I think it will come out in the next few years. It is not a place where I would be able to live, cause I think you must be part of it to really handle all the situations which are not normal for us but I would adore to go there back soon, and meet those wonderful funny and nice guys that are most of the Neapolitans!
We are NOT italians.....
Then go live somewhere else...India, Africa are nice...@@campanianrepublic82
ti posso dire una cosa: come mi sono abituato io a Milano, nonostante l'onta del pregiudizio che spesso ho dovuto sopportare, ce la puoi anche tu a Napoli. Non so di che parte del nord sei, ma per è stato facile con Milano, poiché infine abbiamo le stesse cose, ma funzionano un po' meglio su. Al carattere ti abitui, impari a prendere le cose che ti servono e a lasciare andare altre.

I was in Napoli just a month or so ago and ended up staying over a week. I connected deeply with it and didn't want to leave. I loved the chaos, madness, and liveliness, walking the colorful streets and back alleys dodging motorcycles whirring past. The food was seriously the best of my life. I was always discovering something interesting. One of the greatest cities in the world IMO.
Can’t wait to visit next month. It is top of the list of cities in Italy for me to visit, exactly for the reasons you describe. Can’t wait!!
Wow, makes me wanna go!
I totally agree with you it took me on an emotional rollercoaster . it's also because my parents are from there im from uk
It's the smelliest and dirtiest city in Europe. I did not like it one bit, the only reason why I visited was Pompeii. And the pizza was awesome. In a way it is really like you described it. But I would say that is not what most people really enjoy, likely just in their head before they visit. Not my cup of tea, but good for you that you enjoyed it.
No, the smelliest and dirtiest in Italy is probably Rome currently, but there are far worse cities in Europe. Also, are you sure you really went to Naples? Because it'is insane to go there only to visit Pompei and missing landmarks like the Sansevero Chapel, the National Archeological Museum, the Royal Palace, The San Carlo Theatre, the Sant Elmo Castle, the Castel dell'Ovo, the Maschio Angioino Castle, The Santa Chiara Church, the christian catacombs, the underground aqueducts and so on... Naples is probably one of the the city with most artistic attractions in the world.
My family is in Napoli and my name is Margherita. I live in San Francisco and dream of the day I can retire in Italia. I spent so much time there and never felt unsafe. People are REAL. Neapolitans invented “pay it forward” When you get a coffee, you can pay for a “ cafe sospeso” which is a coffee for someone who needs one and doesn’t have the money. You would never go hungry in Napoli. Even when there is petty crime, it’s not wanted but the saying is, “everyone needs to eat”. I’m glad you went to Napoli. It’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Thanks for making this video @Peter. I was just telling my friend how to eat pizza the right way. 🍕

in the early '90 , when my beautiful homeland country was stricken by war, our napulitan' friends, being deeply concerned for us and realizing the danger we were exposed to, insisted that we should leave Croatia and come to Napoli.. I was only 11 yo at that time, but I remember everything as if it was yesterday.. how they organized everything, the way they treated and took care of us during those 7 months.. unparalleled generosity
Beautiful words my friend

Last month I was visiting Napoli for the 2nd time this year. Absolutely love the hectic and chaos over there. People are very friendly and food is outstanding! I don't even feel like visiting Rome or Venice anymore, Napoli it is !
I think if I go to Naples, I'll have a nervous breakdown because what I don't want is chaos during my vacations.

Having moved away from Naples over 10 years ago, every time I go back the changes are noticeable - especially in the city centre. Places like Forcella or Quartieri Spagnoli that used to almost be "no go zones" (if you were not a local or there to buy drugs) are now full of tourists day and night and it generally feels a lot safer.
Naples is an incredible city absolutely worth visiting, you won't find another place like it.
My AirBnB was in the Spanish Quarter & I even walked back at 4am back to it from a bar. LOL. Napoli is fascinating & the food, simply unbeatable.
Pfft I made the mistake of staying alone in Piazza Garibaldi… walked around for maybe 15 minutes and decided I could never be out after dark again. I wanted to love Napoli but the harassment made me so angry inside 😅 Never felt unsafe in Palermo tho, another crazy city
@@helend1557 sorry to hear that spoilt the trip for you, unfortunately piazza Garibaldi and the whole area around the train station can be quite sketchy and intimidating, especially for a woman.
All my family is from around Avellino, I used to visit a lot until 15 years ago and they always said to avoid Napoli.
Will be visiting next time I'm in Europe, amazing video
@@helend1557 Unluckily you didn't chose the best area to stay, the area around the central station is a bit sketchy at the night, but not really dangerous. Next time you better stay in Vomero or Chiaia, they are the most quiet quarters of the city, where you will feel a lot more safe even at late night.
I miss Italy so much. Naples was my first experience on my trip to Italy and a sweet little Nona saw we just arrived and she brought us into her home and she fed us and warmed our hearts. I had such a positive experience on so many levels. The entire country is beautiful, the food is incredible and the people are kind and welcoming and the architecture is breathtaking. I did however experience my first ‘flasher’ on public transit when making my way back to my hotel after a night out 😅😂

Naples was my first experience of Italy too. What you and everyone else fails to mention is the whole city is a rubbish dump. Trash on every street and stinks of sewage. Avoid at all costs people

As an Italian I can tell you that everything Gateano told you is true, he is a very intelligent person and the way he brought you to Naples goes far beyond what a tourist can see, we Italians are true, curious and smiling (the only thing I would tell you is that even in Rome you eat pizza with your hands) ahahaha

Italy is such an amazing country. Sometimes so tight yet so disorganized, so beautiful yet so dirty, it has insane contrasts. But its people, food, architecture and history are unmatched.
In 2008 I had the pleasure of spending 5 weeks in Italy with a dear Italian friend from Naples. We spent a lot of time in Naples visiting with her family. Even though my Italian was almost nonexistent, I made many new friends and had the time of my life. I am from Baltimore and I felt the two cities had a lot in common. There was a harbor area and cobblestoned streets a lot like the older sections of my city. A pizza from Naples is like no other pizza in the world. The family-owned shops were a joy to explore. Thanks for this video. This makes me want to go back and spend time with all my friends there. Ciao!😃
There is nothing like going to a place finding a great guide who likes to talk and who knows things and walking around the city together. This was really inspiring and so interesting. Not like the tourist videos of the past. Much more like how I felt when I toured around Europe in the 80s and did it locally not as a tourist. Thank you Peter for re-creating that kind of travel through your Vlogs. Keep it up! Really like your style!

You're lucky to have found someone such an authentic and charming guide as Gaetano. His community work is also inspiring.
Love your work!
except for a couple of overstatements and clichés (the one about being absolutely socially accepted to be 50 and live with your parents and the part about quartieri spagnoli which was true 30 years ago) , Gaetano was really an exceptional guide. He was really good at explaining the reasons why Naples (and in general the south) is the way it is, its history, its culture. He is aware of his history and i like that.
and also, stating that italian is spoken mostly in higher status families is a bit of a simplification: yes, those families tend to speak italian more than a working class family but even a lawyer or a judge in Naples (and southern Italy in general) is always able to speak dialect as well. I can speak for myself, i come from a working class family but i am educated, got a university degree, i live abroad now and i mostly speak italian with my friends but i can switch to dialect anytime i want and i enjoy it, it is my native language, my identity. Italian is useful, beautiful, necessary to speak about complex things, of course, and i love it but neapolitan is the language of family, identity, heart and i hope the younger generation will keep on speaking it but i doubt it unfortunately. I thing it will sadly disappear in 50-60 years from now.

I LOVE Naples! It is NOT for the traveler who likes resorts, luxury, pretty sites, etc. It is for the traveler who actually enjoys being immersed in different cultures, seeing how other people on the other side of the planet live, and who has a bit of street smarts. It looks dirty and it is but there is a really amazing lively energy about it. Can't wait to see it again. unfortunately it was for me but not my husband so hopefully ill find a chance to go.

The reputation of it being dirty needs to be put to bed now, but it was once very true.

In recent times Naples has been receiving a very remarkable tourist boom. The city really deserves it. I think Naples and its province have one of the most impressive concentrations of art, ancient monuments and naturalistic places in the world, islands, ruins, eighteenth-century palaces. There is a lot to see.
In 1969 my husband and I went to Florence and walked all over the churches and art but met NO Americans...then we went, on day 6, to the Ponte Vecchio (The one surviving old bridge after WWII and mostly gold and jewelry shops). All we saw were Americans!! We are such rubes!
Naples used to be in the top 5 of the financial/banking hubs in Europe before the unification of Italy.
It’s called Napoli
Naples is a stop on the way to Amalfi.
I don't think it's right to say a city "deserves" a tourist boom like it's a positive thing. A lot of tourism is often a bad think for locals, especially for people actually living in a city center.
I wish I can visit Napoli some day. My love for Maradona growing up as a kid made me fall in love with this city, and the more I know about Maradona's story with Napoli and what it meant politically and socially the more I love both the city and the player.

Would you suggest I just come to Naples with a group of friends or I should just do it on my own?
@@pancakesandtea I don't know you, it's up to you. Don't be afraid of Italian cities, the most that can happen to a tourist is usually finding a scammy restaurateur who overcharges you, or a pickpocket on the subway (in the few cities where there is one).
If you knew the history of the city of Naples, you would know that it has been a place full of "scoundrels" since Renaissance times. But, as you can see, it's not famous for being an unsafe place, despite being a big city full of life. There are definitely bad places (as I told you: some particularly poor neighborhoods), and you will find a lot of chaos. But the one big piece of advice I can give you is: try not to look like a tourist, because you might be ogled by pickpockets and Latin Lovers.
Also, I recommend you study the history of Naples as much as you can. You will be overwhelmed by the energy of the city, but that place has one of the most important histories in Europe (and in Mediterranean Sea). Did you know that Naples is the only city in the world to give its name to a musical genre (Neapolitan music)? *_^
PS: sharing the trip with friends can always be fun and reassuring, but you can do as you feel.
Yeah, that's true. Many thinks that history of Italy starts with Rome and her empire, but actually Naples and the old cities of Magna Grecia are even oldest. 3000 years old to say the least.
This video evoked such vivid imagery that I felt as though I was strolling through the streets of Naples, immersing myself in the local aromas and engaging with the inhabitants. The execution was simply exquisite.
Peter and Gaetano, grazie mille. This was truly " unique ". A genuinely heart felt journey through Naples.
Capturing its essence. With the wise and warm words of your guide, Gaetano.
Your videos are not only interesting and informative, but something that keeps your attention for the entire segment. I love UA-cam, and this may be an example of its finest content.
That shot from 19:10 to 19:23 looks like it comes out of a movie, I mean the guy on the motorcycle, despite the camera passes in front of his eyes he never stares at it, incredible!
Motorcycles in Naple are dangerous, not for speedy but for steelers
Love his guide, seemed high AF. He giggled at everything. Wish I were that happy.❤
I am happy to say we have some pizza maker here in my local unimportant Dutch city, who is from Napoli and makes pizza exactly like these, and also gives little workshops for people to make their own. Nobody usually believes that they are really cooked only for like 90 seconds, until they do it themselves. Everything is important, from the wood used, to the shape of the oven, and the way you prepare the dough. I go there a few times a year to eat proper pizza, but I also still eat ordinary domino's pizza if I have to.
For me it's the way of talking of the man in the Margherita's Pizza restaurant. His attitude and gesture. I met a lot of Italian people in my life and the charm coming out from the humble but yet humanly thick behavior of some of them had always inspired me deeply. I hope I could have this kind of portamento me too. Ps. I was in Naples and went to the costa amalfitana with my Hawaiian friends, we were all amazed by how beautiful it was, and by the Vesuvio's view from the bus, by the way, the bus driver's driving technic was as well astonishing! Will never forget how he could turn the huge bus in a tiny impossible corner with so much agility. That was WOW. Greetings from China and Switzerland. Grazie Italia.
It's been 17 years since I was last in Napoli, but the memories still bring a tear to my eye. I walked many of those streets and enjoyed a Margherita at Brandi's. It really is a wonderful city.
It's really refreshing to encounter someone so happy and smiling like this guy on UA-cam! Normally all I see are videos slagging off the government or stuff about fentanyl! This chap really cheered me up! 😂
I was in Naples for week in June and I fell in love! I cried to leave! They say you cry twice, once when you come and once when you leave. I never felt the need to cry while arriving, but definitely felt the need to cry while departing! Love my Italian heritage! 🇮🇹
The 3rd time you cry would be after beign pickpocketed for the first time
@@Tonyx.yt. that can happen anywhere. Crime all over the world.
@@Tonyx.yt. stupid stereotips of ignorant north Italian. Shut.up.
Peter thank you for this authentic view of my hometown. You captured the true nature/essence of Napoli. Grazie mille!!
Sembra il Venezuela.

@@lucaantonelli1511 da napoletano, vorrei aggiungere che grazie al cielo qui non viviamo tutti come questo signore (che per quanto mi sembra di capire, gestisce un centro sociale 😂) e ovviamente non condividiamo questo stereotipato campanilismo che espone. Il ragazzo è evidentemente un individuo ignorante riguardo quella stessa città che dice di amare e quella che è la propria nazione. Per cui, in preda a ciò, si scatena nei più bassi luoghi comuni, purtroppo ancora presenti in diversi strati della classe sfortunata della città. Il problema di Napoli è da 2500 anni la gente che l’abita.

Wonderful video! The charming atmosphere of Naples is captured in every frame. I felt like I was strolling through the narrow streets and enjoying the views of this magnificent city myself.
I was there 5 years ago. I traveled for a month across Italy and Naples ended up being my favorite city in Italy. The vibe and the food is out of this world. Thank you for reminding me what a beautiful city this is ✌️🇨🇦
god bless Italy
Italian cuisine is incredible!.... truly simple, economical, and made with a few ingredients adapted through countless regional recipes, but with some simple tricks and underlying principles. Learning Italian cooking is really a great investment of time!
Thank you Peter for this beautiful video. This year we returned from Florence and I was much impressed by the friendliness and warmth of the Italians. I hope one day to visit Napoli and enjoy those beautiful streets with so much history.
I love how you show the real side of a city not the fantasy tourist experience. Thank you so much for teaching us about the true culture. I loved how that man who was an immigrant states that the people of Naples are the most welcoming and helpful. Now Napoli is on my bucket list! And I cant wait to have the glorious looking Pizza❤️
I am so glad I found this video. I am Napolitan. My parents came to NYC from Avellino which is very close to Napoli in 1965. I speak old style Napolitan dialect.
Naples, a city of unique people and an incredible attitude to food. The city of the sun.
The one thing I remember of Naples, when I visited with a school back in 1980, was the architecture, the vibe and the delicious food. Neapolitans are very friendly, cheerful and welcoming.
true
I love how you keep the recepies the old way. This is how you know how the food was in the past and you keep a history with you in everyday life. Good on you, Italy!
Napoli is the heart and soul of the South. Broken but beautiful. La Gente Mia. Salute 🇮🇹✌🏼🇺🇸
Fellow Italian here - Great nostalgia of my trip to Naples watching this. Also, fantastic camera work catching the celebration of the goal and then spinning around to catch the dude on the motorcycle reacting! 19:10
Your ability to hold the camera at the perfect angle while having an intelligent conversation with someone is incredible. My video would be all over the place😂
Greetings from Greece Neapolitan brothers and sisters 🇬🇷❤️🇮🇹
As a Neapolitan born and raise in Naples that moved in Chicago 10 months ago, this was the most touching video to watch, can't wait to go back to visit my family ♥️
You must be home sick .....and the winters ?
I will show you around Chicago if you will show me Napoli one day...
@@rawgab4439 huge culture shock! 😂
@@bz8047 sure! 😎
@@marcomariaizzo1868 You must miss Napole a lot .. I do and I only visit only once in a while...Anyway the best to you ..one of these days you have to teach me Gaetano I wish I could space it like you ;)Greetings from Malibu ,CA
I am proud to be a neopolitan, born in Australia, to both parents from Naples, I definitely inherited the fire, passion and exremely loud voice that can be herd from two streets over.
Love the old country and been learning the old ways since i was a toddler, i have people dropping in every day at all times of the day and night just to see what i cooked and hoping to get invited for a meal.
Naturally i always cook enough for 10 people, when on actual fact should be cooking for two. Lol.
I love being appreciated for my cooking.
Would you ever live over in Naples for a bit?
Under the giggly guy there's such a cultured man, and you see it as soon as he starts speaking Italian. Good one
Thank you Peter for the fascinating look a Naples. I must admit I fell a little in love with your guide. He he evokes such joy and actually does something for the less fortunate.
I dont even know what to say. I loved it so much. Thank you Peter for opening all those amazing perspectives of our beautiful world for us
Loved the video and thank you for bringing back memories. My dad was stationed in Naples so we got to experience it all ourselves too. The city, the people and of course some of the best food I ever had. Napoli will always have a place in my heart. It still feels like a home to me.
The world is such a fantastic place, full of adventure, diversity and culture. I love all the historical buildings around Naples, you can see the history in the architecture. Your vids never disappoint Peter, Bravo!
Gaetano is such a great guy. I absolutely love seeing the rich culture and strong sense of community in this city.
Thank you Peter! So lovely to have a local to take you around and to express well, what it is to be Napolitano. I have always been fascinated with Naples and the history. Yet the closest I have come to Naples is Pozzuoli. The family I am married into has hundreds of years connected to The Church with Priests and Nuns. So we visited a home for nuns in Pozzuoli. Yet, Ever since I was 8 years old I was struck with Monte Vesuvius and Herculaneum! My 8th grade teacher had the class do short assay's of whatever we desired and she had a very large collection of National Geographics, so while looking through them I saw one with a small city in the foreground and in the background an epic volcanic eruption! I was obcessed to find all I could about Naples, the volcano and how long people had lived under Vesuvius! I have followed ever since! Again thank you Peter and thanks to your guide!
i spent 3 winters there,ive lived all over europe and its by far my favorite city in europe,its alive and very freindly,the first person i met quicklly schooled me when i said NAPLES he said,NAPOLI!!!!,naples is in florida
Great video. I came back from Naples yesterday, went with my wife and two sons aged 12 and 15. Apart from a few places where we felt a bit uncomfortable, we loved the city. Very friendly people, incredible views and amazing food. The best views were probably from Castel St Elmo. It’s a great place to visit and base yourself, and you can then to explore nearby places such as Pompeii, Capri, Sorrento and the rest of the Amalfi coast. Shout out to Salerno where we spend a few days and had a wonderful time. Ciao Napoli and Grazie for a fantastic time! ❤
Gaetano had such a good energy, what a lovely person. Thank you for offering a great insight into Napoli!
Great vid. I first visited Napoli in 1985, no tourists and very rough but one of my favorite Italian cities. I remember sitting at an outdoor restaurant eating pizza and two young boys "scugnizzi" ran by and stole the pizza, plates and all, from a couple sitting nearby. The prostitutes in the Spanish Quarter really did have red lights outside their apartments (the Police's "Roxanne" had been popular a few years before "Roxanne, you don't have to turn on the red light"). For some reason the entire city's traffic lights weren't working yet there seemed to be some method in the chaos and traffic still flowed. Sitting at another outdoor restaurant, saw a car accident that disabled both vehicles and the two men seemed so angry they nearly came to blows. As they cooled down and waited for friends to pick them up they sat down together for some food and wine and within 30 minutes seemed the best of friends Another day taking the ferry from Napoli to Procida the ferry launch ramp wouldn't close. A crowd of passengers formed around the two beleaguered work men trying to fix it, each member of the crowd had their own advice, commentary, criticism and insults to impart on the situation...this went on for two hours. One last memory, I crashed at a friend of a friend who was a civilian with the US Navy and lived in the wealthy Vomero neighborhood in the hills overlooking Napoli. Nearby was a park and parking lot which every night was filled with cars, all of their windows covered with newspapers...and those cars were rocking. Every morning the street sweepers raked up all the newspaper and had a bonfire. Yes, there are amazing sights to see in Napoli but my most vivid memories remain these serendipitous experiences and the people of Napoli. Returned again in 2010 and the city seemed a bit more polished, traffic and mopeds still insane, still love Napoli.
hahah il fatto degli scugnizzi troppo bello comunque ho tante mamme di miei amici che purtroppo si prostituiscono
Hi stephen, as an italian i can say that the stories you've shared are really so precious. I hope you had a great time here. The story about the dudes becaming friends after the car accident made me really smile xD
Thank you for sharing that 😊
... 30 minutes later, they were best of friends 😂. It is still like that. Greetings from Naples!
My grandmother on my Mom's side is from Naples Italy. My other grandparents are from Sicily and Bari. I visited over there when I was a kid many years ago and met my cousins. Such a beautiful country hopefully one day I'll return. 🍝🍷☕
I'm Italian. I was born in Naples and now I live in Milano. It was funny for me seeing your reactions and the story from your point of view. I agree with Gaetano on every aspect!
And do you hate Milano as the guy said? If so, why???
@@andreraphael6727 ahah no, I don’t. I don’t like it but it’s related to air pollution, weather and also because there is no sea. However is a very nice city to live nightlife
Yay, glad you did a video on Naples! I have travelled a lot, all over the world, but Naples is still one of my favourite places I have been. So vibrant and colourful, beautiful setting, and of course good food!
Your tour guide , seems really down to earth and street smart educated . Hope you find more like him
Friggin Tickle Me Elmo
Exacty , Gaetano is well spoken , easy going smart guy .
A lot of Neapolitans are like that! Having them as colleagues normally brings a breath of fresh air.
A fresh combination of street smart, funny and kind. These kind of cats are usually liked by everyone.
👏
Bello!.. c'è ancora tanto da vedere a Napoli!.. questo video merita un "part 2" . Greetings from Naples
Napoli- fall in love with it or hate it. I love it so much! It is full of life and suffering - it is the heart of baroque I adore.
What a delightful young fellow. Loved his insight and joy
I was in Naples in 1965 with the US Navy. My very first pizza was in Naples. I was a young man from a small southern town pizza had yet hit my towm..
I remember the motor scooter speeding down the narrow streets. At that time there was a big Communist movement. My buddy and I had to run from a demonstration.
There was a USO club near the port entrance. I servered aboard the USS Manley DD 940. Just a few thoughts about the visit. We were there twice in 65. Thanks Peter for the memory.
Agree is that kind of a country you almost touch history!! Thank you for your service i took a lot of time talking with ww2 veterans and listen they're own take in things going on will allways cherish and pass on to newer generations
You couldnt have gotten a better guy to show you around Naples, great video!
One of the best walk-around sightseeing and history dialogues I have come across. I was hoping it was even a longer video than it was. I wanted to get on the next plane to visit and have a similar opportunity with your friend. Thank you.
I adore Naples. It’s one of those places that just sticks with you. My compliments to Gaetano for being a delightful guide!
Love reading the comments. so much to learn! Italy, what a gorgeous country, sumptuous in it's history, architecture, landscape, the people! The pizza looked incredible, I want some now!
Ive been all over Italy for a full month loved Italy but Napoli it’s the one city blew my mind the most it has old stuff to visit you can see the influence from the Spanish the french and so on but the best part is the unique energy that you feel from the moment you step going back in 2 day’s can’t wait
I have visited Italy eight times in the last eight years. My wife and I visited Naples going on four years ago and I can attest to what Peter and Gaetano are saying, especially regarding the food. When we return (God willing) one of the main reasons will be to once again enjoy the fantastic food of Naples. One aspect that they missed is concerning the outdoor markets. I stumbled upon one that was close to our hotel and purchased a linen sport coat at an incredibly cheap price that I always receive compliments on. I can't wait to return to Italy; perhaps as soon as this June!
so did you make it back? I hope you did - I enjoyed the city like you did!!
Pizza and pasta is better in Bangkok, and the coffee!
@@ronen160 We unfortunately had to cancel our trip but will be planning soon to return either in the spring or summer.
@@peternatalie6586Hi! Do you remember which market you found the coat, I'm new here and I'm trying to learn everything I can from this amazing city! Also, do you know if there's any fruit markets? They tend to be expensive in supermarkets, thanks on advance!
The coat is probably from China with a Made in Italy tag on it.
Italy is a beautiful country and so different from north to south. Why I remember most is you can stumble into the best food you have ever eaten.
There is no such place like Naples! ❤
An openair museum with the warmest people of Italy! ❤
Definitely a place worthwile to see! ❤
This native guide in Naples was so much better than the Rome lads you had.
Agree
I love the fact that you both talked about the good side and bad side of Naples, I'm really proud of being Napoletana but sometimes it's really hard cause of various things happening in the country. But the guy should have brought you in the catacombs or the Napoli Greco-Romana it played an important role during the WWII.
Btw everybody hates the vomeresi, they're the Milanesi of Napoli.
The strange thing about pizza is that in all Italy it's the same ingredients: for 1kg of flour(a strong w type 0) you need 65% water(for the pizza verace, so the authentic recipe) 1-3 grams of yeast 20g of salt and a long proofing. But it changes everywhere you go, so we(Neapolitans) arrived to the conclusion that what makes the perfect pizza is the water we have in Naples; but I'm sure that the secret is the passion, the knowledge, the teqnique, the experience and the most important one... The love.
Hi princess
It's funny because that's what New Yorkers say as well when they talk about the best pizza in America. It's something in the water haha.
brünö bähnänni fölläuD??
It's not the water, it's the mood.
If you take it out of the city and eat it then it's like any frozen pizza from the supermarked
@@brownjatt21 in fact it's just a story that we like to believe, put if you see on internet there's a study that shows that New York and Naples have a almost identical water.
Here's a summary of the main points from the video about Naples, Italy:
1. Historical Context:
- Naples is older than Rome, founded by Greeks.
- The city was an independent nation for centuries before Italian unification in 1860-61.
2. Culture and Society:
- Described as chaotic but functional, with a strong sense of community.
- Many residents live in multi-generational homes in the same neighborhood for life.
- The Neapolitan dialect is widely spoken, especially among lower classes.
- Football (soccer) is extremely important, with Diego Maradona revered as a local hero.
3. Economy and Social Issues:
- Large wealth disparity between rich and poor, with a small middle class.
- Many young people are leaving Naples due to lack of economic opportunities.
- The Camorra (local mafia) has significant influence over local businesses and street vendors.
4. Food:
- Naples is famous for its pizza, with many excellent pizzerias.
- The city has a rich culinary tradition, including pastries like sfogliatella.
5. Urban Landscape:
- Narrow streets in old neighborhoods, making it difficult for authorities to control.
- Mix of grand architecture (like Galleria Umberto I) and crowded, working-class areas.
6. Tourism:
- Growing tourist industry, changing the city's reputation for danger.
- Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii are major nearby attractions.
7. Social Initiatives:
- The video showcases a community project converting a former youth prison into social housing.
8. Challenges:
- Stereotypes and prejudices from other parts of Italy.
- Ongoing issues with organized crime and informal economy.
The video presents Naples as a complex, vibrant city with a unique culture, facing both challenges and opportunities in the modern era.
Forza Napoli!! This Italy series is absolutely amazing! My entire family both sides are from Italy (Rome, Sicily and Naples). I’ve see the whole country numerous times but seeing it through your eyes with your guides is very special! 👌👌👍👍 🇮🇹 🇮🇹🇮🇹
Sempre!

I like this. So many travel videos focus on landmarks, and this one says a lot about culture.
As an Italian I must say what a fantastic video! No surprise of course, you do such great work Peter !
So much problems, so disorganized compared to european standards, but the "magic" you feel in Napoli is simply unique!
Definitely agree with you, very well explained.
Yeeesssss
Naples it's magic 💙💙💙💙💥💥💥💥💥💫💫💫💫💫💫💫
I don't like because is a degraded city, too much overrated
@Joseph Stalin Sei napoletano, il tuo giudizio non conta, fai giudicare gli altri. Se vuoi ti posto un video dove le persone giudicavano davvero Napoli e il degrado che hanno trovato. Ve lo dite da soli che è bella, fate ridere😄
I thought your guide was so engaging, pleasant, and knowledgeable!! I also thought that the way you captured Napoli makes me definitely want to explore. (But then I’ve been to Italy, including Sicily, five times and absolutely love it, so I’m sure that’s at least part of why this video appealed to me so much).
Hello beautiful how are your doing
Agreed with the guide comment thoroughly. Place looks crazy busy to me.
@@fredowen5103 that’s a bit creepy pal. It’s UA-cam not some dating website.
I like the intro. music.
