Naples
World Directory, Europe, Italy, Campania, Naples
"See Naples and then die" This proverb sums up in a few words the spirit and enthusiasm that bring tourists to this wonderful town. One is immediately brought into contact with ancient traditions that only survive because they have been blended one with another. There are still olden professions that have survived into this modern 21st century: an entire quarter in the heart of Naples, for example, is given over to the craft of the goldsmith; there are still the world-famous handwrought nativity tableaus with their figurine shepherds; old craftsmen still sell handmade chairs from the backs of carts that they push through the streets; and you can still hear the clanging hammer of the blacksmith. There is even an artisan who gives new life to old and damaged dolls in his workshop, appropriately called The Doll Hospital.
