Additional Information

Naples is a city where good etiquette is highly valued, so, allow us to introduce you to ‘o munaciello and ‘a bella ‘mbriana. For hundreds of years, these mysterious entities have roamed the city’s homes and palaces, accompanied by a host of other mystical figures. Naples is a city steeped in history and myth, so interconnected that it’s nearly impossible to distinguish fact from fiction. But, indeed, that is its charm!

In the midst of the bustling crib-lined streets, there lies a serene, magical locale: the splendid Church of San Gregorio Armeno. Here, Santa Patrizia performs the annual miracle of blood liquefaction, much like the more renowned San Gennaro, whose cathedral and treasury we will be visiting. This is because, as is common knowledge, spiritual and secular elements mingle in Naples.

San Gennaro is reputedly the wealthiest saint worldwide, courtesy of the contributions from royalty, popes, and ordinary people throughout the ages. These generous donations have resulted in a priceless collection of jewellery and gems.
