Thank you again for joining this week.

You mentioned in another thread that you love Naples. Could you expound on that? What are some of the reasons that you are drawn to Naples in particular?

Ciao Judith

I think that Naples is one of the most exciting cities in Italy. Great restaurants of all kinds, fantastic markets, wonderful museums, terrific shopping, well-priced hotels. Pizza alone is a reason to visit, although there's a lot of bad pizza in Naples too. But the most important reason is that the Neapolitans are the most hospitable, warm people, with a sense of fun, from nobles to vegetable sellers to cab drivers. Why? I attribute it to the Vesuvius vibe, the electromagnetic field produced by an active volcano.

Thank you! Such an enthusiastic recommendation! My brother and his family will be spending some time in Naples and Rome in the new few months. I only wish I were going too!

I like the idea of Vesuvius energizing the populace. :biggrin:

I hope they have a good time. They shouldn't miss the gelato at San Crispino in Rome, not far from the Pasta Museum.
