Despite the garbage, this is un amazing city, like not other, with so charm and character that is not for everyone. Napoli is Napoli. Different faces, different quarters and the settling is one the most beautiful in the word.
Yes, I am the one walking in this video:) Naples is a fascinating city, quite unlike any other Italian city. While it can be a bit shabby at places it also has a very elegant and beautiful side to it. And the setting of the city is wonderful!
This brings back memories of my youth. I was in the U.S. Navy aboard a destroyer and my first foreign port was Naples, Italy in 1963 and I was seventeen years old. Liberty call was at 1600 and I was in love by 1630 lol. Beautiful Italian girls, a lot of nice people, most were smiling or laughing all the time. I learned never to get drunk on cheap wine and that by drinking grape juice at chow would make me drunk again, but more sick than drunk. I loved the clothes hanging over the streets, women dropping baskets from their windows that delivery boys put bread and wine in for her to hoist up instead of the long stair climb. I liked having a glass of wine in a bar with a kid having one who couldn't even see the top of the bar. Me and a girl corresponded well after I was discharged, but the language barrier, I couldn't speak Italian and she could not speak English. The letters got fewer and fewer until they stopped. I felt bad later. My girlfriend didn't. I love the Med and I loved Naples. I even met a lot of nice hookers here, usually a boy would want me to meet his beautiful sister for a date. :)
That is good. Do you still hang laundry across the streets? I think it was cool and all the women talking to their neighbors. Oh to be young again in Naples is my dream.
Thanks for your nice words :) You'll be happy to learn that almost nothing changed and real daily life goes on as usual in our city. Napoli is still the home of Neapolitans who make it so special, with both their good and bad aspects, and has not been turned in a dead dormitory for tourists full of chain branches. At least not yet :)
This makes me miss italy even more. I've walked those exact same streets numerous times day and night. Naples is a historically fascinating place. Great video!
I'm very late to this vlog, but I appreciate that you posted it. I was stationed in Naples from '84 to '87 at the NATO Base in Bagnoli. Although some people find Naples to be too dirty or harsh, I always thought it to be a beautiful city with a lot of culture, history and very wonderful people. Grazie molto per fare questo video!
Naples is one of the most architecturally beautiful cities in Italy and the world. I cannot believe so many people will avoid going just because it's not spotlessly clean. It's such an interesting and beautiful city.
I agree too.Neapolitan architecture is absolutely beautiful.Castel Nuovo,Archaelogical Museum,Teatro di San Carlo,Palazzo Reale,Galleria Umberto I,Gesú Nuovo Church...Naples is so underrated.Also Neapolitans are friendlier than other Italians.
@@a_wise_young_man752 Try to put off the stick you've got up your ass and you will manage to enjoy the world in a less judgemental way. Life is not only 9 to 5 office jobs and 10 drinks after that to forget how miserably pointless your days are.
I visited Naples for the first time last year. I was born and live abroad, of Italian decent and speak Italian like a native. Of all the places I visited while in Italy, I still dream of Naples. I cannot put it down, 15 months later. Me ne sono fatta una malattia quasi. I have a really good life here, successful job, great family life, but Naples beckons! I think I need therapy at this point! Whatttttttt is it about this place that captures and enslaves your soul? Mah..
This video shows all the worst areas.Naples has an history,and it's one of the most beautiful city in the word for pizza,monuments and culture.I'm from Naples and I know that's a bit dirty and it looks poor,but I think that all the rest is fantastic♡
I love this kind of cities that only Italy can offer in the world; I went to Rome and Venice, amazing places!!!...truly unique, now I want to go to Naples, Florence, Milan...Italy has magic in its cities, all of them have something special, you dont need modern infrastructure to enjoy being there....I was so happy when I was in Rome and Venice, the food, the old architecture, and there is something more in all these cities that I did not encounter in any other place in the world...
I've never been to Naples (although did go to Sorrento for a week when I was 13 and via Naples Airport), but there is something that seems really homely about it when watching this video. It's certainly not posh but it is full of charm and character. I will take an underrated city with ordinary people living modest lives any day over a culturally bland 'popular' city with the spirit taken out of it.
Many people do not know much about Naples or what they do know is usually negative. I live close by to Naples and the video was filmed in one of the most crime ridden area of the city, however full of life and history. Naples was a Greek colony "Partenopolis" and at one time there were Greek temples and theaters after that Romans, Normans, French, Spanish etc... If there is one city to chose to visit in Europe that would be Naples.
MyVale13 Must be tough to live in clean enviroment. I've seen napolitanos climb into garbage-dumpsters when they feel home-sick, singing "mi bella latrina napoli".
***** I adapted. It must be hard for you to live with intelligent people too, since you are not one. Keep trying. Maybe you can adapt too. Now live me alone and get a life if you can jerk. I won't reply to you anymore
A few centuries back, Naples was the second largest city in Europe after Paris, and the City of St. Pertersburg was based on urban and architectural planning from Naples. I could go on and on about the beauty and culture of Naples, but unfortunately the city has been run by corrupt politicians and criminals, it is affected with high unemployment and dysfunctional organization, however a wonderful place to visit, no place on earth comes close.
It seems to me that people who complain about traveling in Italy are probably pretty insulated from street life in their home countries. This doesn't look any worse than San Francisco, Oakland, Manhattan, Los Angeles. Maybe if I had been raised riding in cabs or something...I'm beginning to wonder if reports of the horrors of pick pocketing and crime in Southern Italy are just from people who aren't equipped to deal with real life and real people.
I heard so much shit from suburban living in a bubble Americans about me going to Medellin Colombia. (They'll kidnap you, kill you, rob you, beat you to death)... well I spent 4 months in Medellin, never felt in danger! I even went up the hills into the old pablo escobar shantytowns (with a local from there mind you),and I received nothing but love..... One local dude even ended up teaching me how to properly make graffiti!! Medellin city is developing, booming, thriving, it's pretty modern and liberal, and it's not dirtier than any big American city. It also blows some American hipster towns off the water when it comes to urban arts, music etc. The city it's urban and in your face, sort of how Baltimore, Chicago, or Philadelphia would be and some suburbanites cannot handle that realness. They need green sterile suburbia!
Thanks for posting! Miss Naples, havent been there since 1998; I remember there was a beautiful church near Via Toledo, Church of the Holy Spirit maybe or Saints Peter and Paul.
i understand that this is a personal video of one who has been through those alleys... which i loved because it provides another perspective, and in doing so, gives viewers the opportunity to adjust their levels of expectations... with this vid, i have decided to actually visit Napoli...not skip it
I was there a couple of months ago and I noticed in the video the same homeless guy with his dog begging for money. Then I realized the video was uploaded in 2011. Wow he's still at it.
Sorrento and Pompei are surely beautiful but there´s no compares..You need to visit the city with somobody who knows it very well..If not you can´t catch the beauty and the meaning of all.
I am confused, why you guys keep saying that Naples doesn’t belong to Italy? They might have their own language or whatever but still they are italians dont matter what embrace your country. Please keep in mind that All countries in this world have the bad and the good side.
@Trinacria1973 Yes but Im sure it looked like latin america before 10 years ago. I've been there and I'm latin america, it does feel like home, but mostly from Rome down, north of Rome is too organized to be like latin america lol

Naples has some very awesome parts, true. But these ghettos you filmed in seem horrible to live in. I'll take my city over this any day, everything is much newer there, and nobody drives scooters, there's plenty of space for cars. Great video though, would love to visit Naples none the less
You are right about beautiful people and food and it is a wonderful place, but I have to disagree with you on the killers and mafia, the city and surrounding areas is full and heroin pushers galore, I live in the area I know. However it is most the problem of the government in Rome, There is no death penalty for homicides and killers are unlikely to serve time, the city is beautiful, safe for tourists that follow safety guidelines (such as don't flash your 50 Rolex at the crowd)
I want to go to Napoli so bad...People I met from there are so kind and sweet...
I lived here 4 years, omg I used to walk and shop down via toledo all the time. God I miss this place, food, people etc....
Why did you leave?

I loved this real side of life of Napoles... I would love to see a video of a market on Napoles. Congrats still beautiful Napoles.
I was there once....a chaotic city....but the people I ran into were friendly and I loved Naples.

thanx, your video gives an actual idea of the city
that's just a little part of the city. It has both historical and ancient centre, the greek one. It's enormous. I love my city.
I'm glad you liked this video of Naples. Thank you!
Thank you nicktroppi for a factual comment. Naples is a wonderful city to visit and safe too and all such stereotypes should be trashed.
I plan to move there so close to Pompeii and the volcano 😀

I was there a couple of months ago and I noticed in the video the same homeless guy with his dog begging for money. Then I realized the video was uploaded in 2011. Wow he's still at it.
j'adore cette ambiance
Hej:-) Det lyder godt. Har du selv været der? Og hvis du har, er der så nogle særlige ting du kan oplyse om Napoli?
Eu pensava que Napoli fosse mais limpa é igual aqui no Brasil tem vielas, roupas penduradas na janelas. Se parece muito com a região Lapa.
Magnifique vidéo!
Damn, you should have taken photo of guy dancin Michael Jackson :D Really wanted to see it :)
Sorrento and Pompei are surely beautiful but there´s no compares..You need to visit the city with somobody who knows it very well..If not you can´t catch the beauty and the meaning of all.
Wow! Where are all the ppl? This place is almost deserted!
There are only 2 things possible in Naples. You love it or you hate it. I love it! Via Toledo, Shopping, Yeahhhhhhh
Complimenti per la cultura

Nothing, but I was asking the guy who uploaded it. But yeah, if you knew where it was then why not?
Good realistic video.

@@FunintheSun813 not at all. This is not the real Naples.
Where is that?

It's not. Then why are you answering questions about it.?
@Deentan
You live there? Why didn't you say that in the first place! And yeha, you've got me worried now! The murder part especialy. I'm scared now!
@Deentan
Oh. Then why'd you say Naples?
@ 2:09-2:25 was someone cooking? Sounds like alot of "chopping" going on..
@Deentan
Yeah, you put "Walking in Naples (Italy)" as your video title.
