To be in Naples is to be a spectator, and protagonist, of an endless and unpredictable theatrical performance. The original home of pizza is loud, brash and exciting, and enjoys a wonderful setting on a bay looking out across the sparkling Tyrrhenian Sea. Let yourself fall into the organised chaos of the city and soon the general mayhem will be as forgotten as those first awkward Italian words.
