Naples, Italy
Chaos By The Volcano
"Park anywhere, believe nothing, eat everything"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing a dormant but visibly unimpressed volcano, crossed with a moped rampant and a single unattended espresso cup, set upon a field of scooter exhaust fumes. The motto beneath reads, in weathered Latin, 'We Will Deal With It Tomorrow.'
TripAdvisor Review
★★★★☆ 4/5
"Had the best pizza of my entire life at a hole-in-the-wall near Spaccanapoli, then watched a moped drive through what I'm fairly sure was a pedestrian-only piazza with a fridge strapped to the back. The Duomo and the Cappella Sansevero are genuinely jaw-dropping, but crossing the street requires the reflexes of a matador. Also Vesuvius is just... there, looming, like a very patient landlord. Would return purely for the sfogliatelle, would not return with anxiety about traffic laws."— Barry Fenwick, Solihull, UK
Property Listing
Charming volcano-adjacent metropolis offering breathtaking bay views, UNESCO-listed historic character, and 'flexible' approaches to municipal parking regulations that some might call charming and others might call terrifying. Proximity to Vesuvius adds a thrilling sense of geological unpredictability to your morning coffee routine, completely free of charge!
Twinned With
Palermo — Both cities run on glorious, magnificent disregard for any rulebook involving parking, permits, or personal space.
Supporting Evidence
Naples is widely credited as the birthplace of pizza, and locals still insist, with some justification, that nowhere else has ever quite managed to replicate it.
