Written to accompany a guidebook rather than replace it, this portrait of Naples starts with the approach from the sea and moves through the ancient marvels of the Phlegraean Fields, the Posilipo and Chiaia, the Castel dell’Ovo, the cruelties of the Aragonese kings, churches, saints and sinners, and the great eruption of Vesuvius in 1631.
