You can visit the archaeological museum of Naples to see many unpopular monuments, such as the classical sculptures of the Varnese collections and the Roman mosaic of the city of Pompeii, which seem to be overly clear and consistent as an integrated painting, opening up a wonderful window to reflect on the elegance of the old world. I will admit the guilt that lies on my shoulders. It has crept into the side gallery known as the Gabinito Sigrito or the Secret Chamber. This exhibition contains the pornographic effects of Pompeii, the famous city - before it was burned - with its ruthless and playful people.
Museum of Naples
Other Italian cities such as Rome, Florence or Venice are often crowded, with long queues in front of their ticket lines. Inside, you can see crowds and simply ignore the "forbidden photography" warnings everywhere, but here in Naples, I found myself alone Inside the secret room, I contemplate the graceful effects of the Greek god. When I finally went to the main galleries, I found only two people, probably Italian Italians sitting on stone benches, not primarily impressed by the museum's artifacts.
For those who know Naples, it is recognized that the absence of tourists and visitors is a mystery of this mysterious city, and one of its attractions, for example, imagine that you walk the streets of Florence to discover that no one else has decided to put this city within the tourist destination, Uffizi without having to deal with the huge crowds that gather there, for those who know Italy, he realizes that this will be a nice thing in itself.
But Naim is not a tourist town that does not turn it into a monastery that is closed to itself. Naples is not a city that is in a state of boredom, and Pompey's bustling traditions still surround the city to make it vibrant in every corner. Which is wasted by a stormy wind, the magnificent pizzas that adorn the streets of the city, and perpendicular to the cars that are driven in a crazy and appalling manner. This mixture is suspiciously homogenous with magnificent architecture and exotic religious rites, and Cupid emerges from the secret museum room His thigh and his arms rang out on this shining city.
Naples city of antique love
The dark brown walls of Naples tell us a lot about the city. These decrepit walls are dedicated to love and death. We will come to discuss death later - according to the year of life - the love and passion that prevail everywhere in Naples is the first to distinguish. It is a dreamy, loving city. With his pink arrow on the young man and girl who are hugging on the roadside, and you can feel the love-loving eyes that go around in the warm surroundings. The graffiti is a map of love crowded with the walls of Naples, You are my destiny Luca "," Tz Jenny Gabriella, "" I Dream With Your Kisses Livia "," Marco Wait For Me ".
A neighborhood of old Naples
In this airy atmosphere, I fell in love with Naples, no one accuses Centro Storico - the historic city center - of being beautiful, but sad and fat, and this center is at the same time raw, passionate, secretive, generous, shabby, sparkling, vibrant, corrupt and unabashedly corrupt. Which combines the divisions of life as a Roman theater, loved the eastern chaos in its streets, its hybrid architecture that began with the Greeks and ended with the Baroque era. It enjoyed the exuberance of Italian sounds full of feeling and resonance, the poor pubs that served traditional sweetened coffee with sweet pastries filled with creme, I was impressed by the roar of firewood ovens, which included the hot pizzas filled with bubbles of delicious Italian cheese, and with the glittering, gilded mirrors at the Gaberini cafe. I was impressed by the lavishness of Europe's oldest opera house, which included the great musician Verdi and the neo-opera singer Caruso To the Opera House, which was celebrated in a poor way.
Effects of Pompeii
But what really attracted me and attracted me to the Centro Storico is resistance to this popular place for change and development. Contrary to sophisticated and trendy areas that surround it like Kayaya, where people marched between shops stilted and stylish cafes, the heart of Naples remained without development, and remained the historic city center reeked on the old neighborhoods and crumbling palaces Albalatza, and resisted the streets of the old quarter sunken chaotic change, and boasted this neighborhood street cleaning and the pollutants that are scattered around the luxurious bars and branches of the famous Italian wine Zara brand, the Centro Storico stubbornly resisted development, and the attempts to e Makers live-like attempts to convince the improvement of Boris Johnson's access to men's hair care products.
Naples Art and Heritage City
But the lack of the city for the development of major global brands, offset in the artistic treasure wonderful, in the Archaeological Museum of Naples, and once you are discharged from the secret room attraction, you can hope magnificent mosaic collections of the city of Pompeii, which are among Romanian artifacts the most beautiful in Italy.
Pompey Mosaic
In the museum of Capodimonti, the former Bourbon palace, try the wonderful paintings of Repras, the graceful works of El Greso and the black caravaggio shades. You can also find the works of Caravaggio in the narrow alleys and alleys of the old city. In the Piazza Monte de la Mezercordia, Amazing and complex called the Seven Acts of Mercy.
Caravaggio: The Plate of the Seven Acts of Mercy
In the "Capella Sansevero" street, you can contemplate the splendid mosaic of Giuseppe Sanmartino, called the covered Christ, and by looking at the details of the stone digging to look like a transparent canvas over the body of Jesus Christ, you must acknowledge that the creative and flourishing artistic civilization of Naples .
Giuseppe Sanmartino: carved Christ encased
Like most ancient cities, Naples Awalma includes extensive under the sidewalks and streets, called Naples lower, and in a small apartment located off "FICO Gigante", you can find a small door located under an old woman leads to a Roman theater which was discovered only in 2003 beds, and in The Church of San Lorenzo Maggiore You can go on a journey 10 meters deep under the church, take you to the two thousand years ago in the streets of Naples Roman, and for me left the tourist group and tour guides, and stood in front of the greatness of the past, and touched the bakery and the wine shop, banks, Pompey overwhelmed me, and esta alone are As part of the ancient world events.

The streets of Rome in Lower Naples
When you come back to the surface, you will find the boys playing football on the walls of the twelfth century, and the balconies of the old houses filled with laundry will stretch over your eyes and across your head to infinity, and at the same time you will see a group of beautiful girls walking down the road looking contemptuously at the young men who And on the other end is the sound of the famous Italian bicycle, the legendary legendary voice, which carries a driver and a man narrowly behind him as he tries to balance himself while carrying an extended armchair.

Naples is the city of death
Suddenly, and out of nowhere, in the midst of your eternal love for the antiquated Naples Symphony Orchestra, a band bursts with its loud voice coming from the corner of the street, with its brassy instruments and drums pounding loudly, led by brave men holding banners for Mary the Virgin, and in the back are pictures of newly deceased people, Music moves to the dead, and friends and acquaintances move to put money in a hat in the middle of the crowd, and nod their heads reverently as the noisy funeral procession passes.
Napoli is a town obsessed with death as it is obsessed with sex and love. In the midst of blatant declarations of love, the walls of Naples are filled with death notices, which are stamped with images of the deceased.
In the middle of the Via de Tribunale - the ancient Roman street that divides Centro Storico - you can find the Church of Death, the green grasses that resemble plankton growing on the dark facade of the church of Santa Maria Porgatorio ed Arco, the bronze skulls floating on the walls of the wall The iron, and the more I walked toward the church, the colder I got in the street, and the bashing of me to blow my head and tremble, it was a feeling like access to the legendary vampire castle Dracula.
Church of Santa Maria Porgatorio ed Arco
Bronze skull at the church entrance
At the back of the chapel, one of the lecturers opened a ground door and led me to a long stairway. At the end of it I went to another church, a replica built directly under the upper church. In this underworld church, the walls were gray and unmade. In the far corner, I noticed a young woman with her forehead resting on the stone walls, wishing her secret to the dead.
Lower church skulls
Traditionally this was the lower church a place to bury the unknown and poor dead, those who have died without a family or a funeral, and over the years evolved a strange cult of this besieged torment poor lives, Valostorh says that the souls of the dead who are inside the lower church can not live up to heaven, which is trapped in land of Lost (Limbu), so grew up kind of spiritual bargain between the living and the dead, where the neighborhoods attend to pray for those trapped in order to help them passage to heaven, and in return, help them lives in their lives and their quest for love or children or good luck, of course, The Vatican stood to put an end to this exaltation is inappropriate for the poor, and banned the practice of prayer for the dead in 1969, where the Vatican drew the worshipers were praying for the dead wrong !! They have to pray in the Church of the top floor of the saints and the apostles and the Virgin.
But this Naples, resistance to authority and laws, where he does not care about the worshipers of the Vatican's authority and laws, and are still making their way down to the lower church, a young woman who I saw Muttering for the dead is one example, and when he asked her tour guide who was with us for the cause of her prayer for the dead said, "for love , I came for love. "
Napoli is fascinated by Goethe
Naples spread a glorious phrase "Learn to Naples and then Rest in peace", in a symbolic gesture that nothing in the presence deserves to live for after seeing this city, Goethe, the famous German and Naples writer, they love the other, where he is rumored that his mistress was From the same city, and Goethe himself was fond of the Bay of Naples, with its stunning panorama of the vast part of the Vizov mountain and volcano, to the peninsula of Sorrentine, to the island of Capri, in a scene like the pursuit of ghosts in the horizon. To write or draw as much as he likes, but this place, the beach, the bay, in I can not describe you the glory of the moon full moon night, when we walked across the streets and squares to Kayaia Park, we were walking up and down the beach, and I was overwhelmed by a sense of infinite space, to be able to To dream like that, this is certainly worth the trouble of traveling.

The Bay of Naples
But Goethe was not only fined in the bay, he loved Naples, and the frenzied chaos of the old city, its ability to waste everything from sadness to architecture, from love to pastries, Goethe was lost in Naples and found himself reborn from the womb of this ancient city, It is nice to conclude here in his deep words that describe Naples as "a paradise, everyone living in a mascara of self-forgetting, including myself. I was a very different person, and it's hard to know. Yesterday I said to myself: Either you were created from Before or now you're done. "
