Inside Italy’s Craziest City - Naples 🇮🇹

👋Thanks for watching! Join our community HERE: bit.ly/3HC36EH

Because of my dad's job, my parents moved to Italy from Algeria when I was 7 years old. We spent 2 years in Italy before leaving for another country where we settled. I am now 47 and I will always remember the 2 years we spent in Italy as the best part of my childhood. By far. The people, the cities, the food, the weather, playing football with the local kids in a park late at night. It was perfect. I support the Azzuri since 1982, even if they were to play against my country. This is how much I love Italy. Even now 40 years later, when I hear someone speak Italian, I get goosebumps. Your last videos in Italy have brought emotions and memories of my childhood. Thank you Peter for showing how beautiful Italy is.

Gaetano is such a friendly and happy person. God bless him with the same happiness throughout his life.

I am an italian from the north...... It is totally true that there are so many prejudices both way round, and basically we are different nations. I have been in Naples a few years ago, and against all the expectations, I really adored it. And what I adored at the most was the people. Su funny, and welcoming, and friendly. Because we looked like foreigners to them, they showed much interest in us, which is very different from what we do here. Everybody was asking where we were from, what we wanted to do next, if we were enjoying our stay, and wanted be of help with suggestions. It was so gorgeous. In our north almost everybody keeps you at distance doing "our" business, and we feel it very weird when somebody tries to break that distance. And then....the food....the great architecture...the climate. Naples has an enourmous potential, and I think it will come out in the next few years. It is not a place where I would be able to live, cause I think you must be part of it to really handle all the situations which are not normal for us but I would adore to go there back soon, and meet those wonderful funny and nice guys that are most of the Neapolitans!

I miss Italy so much. Naples was my first experience on my trip to Italy and a sweet little Nona saw we just arrived and she brought us into her home and she fed us and warmed our hearts. I had such a positive experience on so many levels. The entire country is beautiful, the food is incredible and the people are kind and welcoming and the architecture is breathtaking. I did however experience my first ‘flasher’ on public transit when making my way back to my hotel after a night out 😅😂

I was stationed there for years in the US Navy. Great people. You know what they say about Naples, “You cry when you get there and you cry when you leave.” Great place.

I lived in Naples from 1970-1976 from 7 to 13 years old. Then moved to Greece until 1981. I learned 2 languages before I was 17. Napolitan and Greek. What an awesome childhood. My dad was US military.

I LOVE Naples! It is NOT for the traveler who likes resorts, luxury, pretty sites, etc. It is for the traveler who actually enjoys being immersed in different cultures, seeing how other people on the other side of the planet live, and who has a bit of street smarts. It looks dirty and it is but there is a really amazing lively energy about it. Can't wait to see it again. unfortunately it was for me but not my husband so hopefully ill find a chance to go.

Your guide was such a kind and authentic person, it was a pleasure seeing the city with him.

I was in Napoli just a month or so ago and ended up staying over a week. I connected deeply with it and didn't want to leave. I loved the chaos, madness, and liveliness, walking the colorful streets and back alleys dodging motorcycles whirring past. The food was seriously the best of my life. I was always discovering something interesting. One of the greatest cities in the world IMO.

It's absolutely impossible to describe the complexity and the beauty of Naples in just 35 minutes, but I'm grateful to Peter 👍

For me it's the way of talking of the man in the Margherita's Pizza restaurant. His attitude and gesture. I met a lot of Italian people in my life and the charm coming out from the humble but yet humanly thick behavior of some of them had always inspired me deeply. I hope I could have this kind of portamento me too. Ps. I was in Naples and went to the costa amalfitana with my Hawaiian friends, we were all amazed by how beautiful it was, and by the Vesuvio's view from the bus, by the way, the bus driver's driving technic was as well astonishing! Will never forget how he could turn the huge bus in a tiny impossible corner with so much agility. That was WOW. Greetings from China and Switzerland. Grazie Italia.

The most beautiful thing in this video is the chemistry between the two reporters. Such a vivid and informative communication they both have, underlined with charming giggling. Such a pleasure watching this video! Thank you so much ❤

My family is in Napoli and my name is Margherita. I live in San Francisco and dream of the day I can retire in Italia. I spent so much time there and never felt unsafe. People are REAL. Neapolitans invented “pay it forward” When you get a coffee, you can pay for a “ cafe sospeso” which is a coffee for someone who needs one and doesn’t have the money. You would never go hungry in Napoli. Even when there is petty crime, it’s not wanted but the saying is, “everyone needs to eat”. I’m glad you went to Napoli. It’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Thanks for making this video @Peter. I was just telling my friend how to eat pizza the right way. 🍕

it's definitely the people that make this city so unique! in the early '90 , when my beautiful homeland country was stricken by war, our napulitan' friends, being deeply concerned for us and realizing the danger we were exposed to, insisted that we should leave Croatia and come to Napoli.. I was only 11 yo at that time, but I remember everything as if it was yesterday.. how they organized everything, the way they treated and took care of us during those 7 months.. unparalleled generosity

This video evoked such vivid imagery that I felt as though I was strolling through the streets of Naples, immersing myself in the local aromas and engaging with the inhabitants. The execution was simply exquisite.

I have lived about 15 minutes from Naples for about 30 years. Food-art-culture-history. It has it all. It is amazing to see how it has become one of the top tourists attractions in Italy - and not just a place to catch a ferry or train to go somewhere else. I have never been mugged but I am not naïve. You need to always be aware of your surroundings, just like you would in any big city. Would love to meet Gaetano! 😃

Gaetano's happiness is a beautiful thing and contagious! Thanks Pete for bringing the world to us working calls folks

Having moved away from Naples over 10 years ago, every time I go back the changes are noticeable - especially in the city centre. Places like Forcella or Quartieri Spagnoli that used to almost be "no go zones" (if you were not a local or there to buy drugs) are now full of tourists day and night and it generally feels a lot safer. Naples is an incredible city absolutely worth visiting, you won't find another place like it.

Last month I was visiting Napoli for the 2nd time this year. Absolutely love the hectic and chaos over there. People are very friendly and food is outstanding! I don't even feel like visiting Rome or Venice anymore, Napoli it is !
