In the wake of previous years, this year too we wanted to take the opportunity to tell Naples through its centuries-old heritage, thus enriching the offer in a period of full attendance. The objective is that citizens and tourists fully appropriate the places and monuments: the ultimate aim is to help make them known and valorise them” declares the Mayor of Naples.
