Naples


Naples (Italian: Napoli) is a city in Italy, and capital of the Campania region and the Province of Naples. The city itself has a population of 984,242 (as of 2005), and is surrounded by a much larger metropolitan region (the second largest in Italy) with a total population of approximately 4.2 million.

Naples is a very ancient city, dating back to the 7th or 6th century BC, having been originally founded by Greeks from the nearby Greek colony of Cuma. The original name of the city was "Neapolis" meaning "new city"! The inhabitants of Naples are still today known as Neapolitans (Italian: Napoletani).

Product Description:
Birthplace of pizza and a treasure-trove of museums, art galleries, and medieval palaces, Naples is the centerpiece of National Geographic's all-new Traveler guide to southern Italy. The book points you to the city's best spots, then heads to Pompeii and Herculaneium, the Amalfi Coast, and fabled Capri and other offshore islands. Also on the itinerary are Puglia, filled with unusual trulli, Basilicata, Campania, and Calabria, along with excursions to Sicily and Sardinia—two fascinating islands whose rich art, culture, language, and history are fiercely separate from those of the mainland.
