Club and Country Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Think the Frankfurt fans are basically penned in a piazza now with no where to go and just surrounded by police and Napoli fans be interesting what they decide to do with Frankfurt and Atalanta lads as they aren't allowed in ground 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 It doesn't look like that when Gino D'Acampo is cooking his food on TV. My wife's family are from a small town 50 miles east of Napoli. They would give it a miss too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clunes Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Went to Amalfi in April. Landed in Naples, hired a car and got out of there as quick as possible. Horrible place, and not nice to drive there either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving around Naples is fun as well - lunatics who think red traffic lights are only advisory. Won't go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zookeeper WSM Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 We went last weekend to watch the Napoli Lazio match. Some parts of the city feel a bit old and dirty in places and is very hectic but never felt unsafe there at all. Certainly didn’t feel like it deserved the reputation it has. They are also obsessed with Maradona. Never been somewhere where everything seems to be so devoted to one person! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film “The Hand of God” is well worth watching if you haven’t already seen it. Very much about growing up in Napoli. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Been to Naples a number of times - but always for one night only (where we stay in the hotel rather than venture out), then onto the ferry or train to get to where we are going. Dirtiest shithole of a place I've ever visited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted March 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 I've been to Napoli a few times. It does have a lot of crime, but it's very rarely against tourists. Mostly drugs, extortion and gang related. It's a bit like visiting Rio...if you stick to the ' correct areas' then you won't find trouble. Don't wear Jewellery or flash watches etc. It's been run down for many years. Just read up on it's history in the past century. It's an attack on all the senses, in the same way the Medina in Marrakech hits you for the first time. Definitely has a completely different feel to other parts of Italy. Almost Arabic, African. It's worth going just for the experience. Then from Napoli get to Pompeii and down the Amalfi Coast for a more relaxed experience. This is worth a watch to get a feel of the people. This is also an entertaining film on BBC iPlayer about life as a gang member in Napoli and gives an idea on how the corruption works, and how people live often hand to mouth. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000yw74/piranhas 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
