The entrance portal of San Gregorio Armeno

Il portale d'ingresso al complesso monastico di San Gregorio Armeno a Napoli

The entrance portal to the monastic complex of San Gregorio Armeno in Naples.
I had already passed a couple of times along via San Gregorio Armeno, the famous street of the nativity scenes in Naples. I had never seen before, however, the religious complex of the same name of which this is the spectacular entrance.

Have you ever been to Naples? And if you have been to the street of the nativity scenes, have you visited this religious complex?

Today the decumanus maggiore is one of the most important streets in the historic center of Naples (declared a World Heritage Site in 1995) and corresponds to today's via dei Tribunali, still following the ancient Greek road axis entirely. Precisely because it is a road structure originating from ancient Greece, it would be more appropriate to speak of plateia and not of "decumanus", a name from the Roman era that by convention has replaced the original.

Neapolitan pizza, with a soft and thin dough, but with high edges, is the version of the round pizza prepared in the city of Naples. It is considered, on a global scale, as the Italian pizza par excellence. Since 5 February 2010 it has been officially recognized as a Traditional Specialty Guaranteed by the European Union and in 2017 the art of the Neapolitan pizza maker, of which Neapolitan pizza is a tangible product, was declared by UNESCO as an intangible heritage of humanity.

This is the institutional website of the park: pompeiisites.org.

The House of the Faun is a Roman house, buried during the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 and rediscovered following the archaeological excavations of ancient Pompeii: it is one of the largest homes in the city and owes its name to a bronze statue, depicting a satyr, placed in the impluvium. It occupies almost entirely the Insula 12 of Regio VI.

Gli iconici e famosissimi Faraglioni di Capri

Isola Capri

Faraglioni di Capri.
Probabilmente è uno dei panorami di mare più famosi al mondo: i faraglioni dell’isola di Capri sono 3 giganteschi scogli che caratterizzano il panorama che si può ammirare dai Giardini di Augusto, alti rispettivamente 109 metri (Saetta), 81 metri (Stella) e 104 metri (Scopolo). Io li ho fotografati in un giorno di pioggia, il che li rende vagamente lugubri, ma posso assicurarvi che il panorama è spettacolare!

Isola Capri

I faraglioni di Capri sono tre formazioni rocciose posizionate a sud-est dell’isola omonima, famose in tutto il mondo grazie alla suggestiva e storica panoramica offerta dai giardini di Augusto. Queste sporgenze sono identificate con tre nomi distinti: il primo (unito alla terraferma) è il Faraglione di Terra; il secondo, separato dal primo dal mare, è quello di Mezzo; mentre il terzo, proteso verso il mare, è il Faraglione di Fuori. Quest’ultimo è molto noto poiché è l’unico habitat della famosa lucertola azzurra.
