01:52is delicious the historic center a unesco world heritage site is our starting point we're talking
02:00about a sprawling open-air museum spachanapoli this isn't a single street it's a dagger the name
02:08literally means naples splitter and it's a long straight thoroughfare that cuts through the ancient grid of the
02:14city perfectly following the path of a decuminus from the original greek layout as you walk its length
02:20you are walking through 2500 years of history look down at the cobblestones worn smooth by millions of
02:27footsteps look up at the towering slightly leaning buildings the hidden courtyards basi and the countless
02:35shrines to the madonna in every corner this is the city's spine and you can feel its pulse right through
02:41your feet don't just rush through hop into the many artisan shops selling handmade nativity scene
02:48figures or grab a quick life-changing espresso from a standing bar the duomo naples cathedral tucked away
02:56just off spachanapoli this cathedral is a metaphor for naples itself the facade is 19th century neo-gothic
03:04but step inside and you journey through time the main draw here is the capella di san genaro chapel of
03:11saint januarius the city's patron saint the devotion here is palpable we're talking about a vial of his
03:19dried blood that miraculously liquefies three times a year if it doesn't legend says misfortune will befall
03:26the city the entire city holds its breath during this ritual the chapel itself is a baroque masterpiece
03:33dripping with gold and frescoes a testament to the value the neapolitans place on their protector
03:39this isn't just a tourist attraction it's the very core of neapolitan faith and superstition
03:46the cloister of santa chiara after the sensory overload of the streets this is your sanctuary
03:51step through a nondescript doorway and find yourself in a breathtaking cloister a world away from the
03:57chaos built in the 14th century it was majestically restored in the 18th century in a unique style
04:05the columns and benches are covered in vibrant majolica tiles depicting pastoral scenes hunting
04:11parties and whimsical designs and the air is filled with the scent of orange and lemon trees
04:17it's a moment of profound peace a hidden garden in the heart of the chaos and the perfect place to sit
04:22reflect and let the beauty of naples sink in a culinary pilgrimage this is where pizza was born
04:30all right team let's get to the main event for many of us the food you haven't eaten pizza until
04:37you've eaten it in naples this isn't an opinion it's a fact in 2017 the art of the neapolitan
04:46pizza wolo was inscribed on unesco's intangible cultural heritage list let that sink in pizza here
04:53is culture we have to talk about the two kings pizza margarita the classic san marzano tomatoes
05:02mozzarella di bufala campana fresh basil and extra virgin olive oil it was created in 1889 by pizzaiolo
05:11rafael esposito to honor queen margarita of savoy with the colors representing the italian flag red
05:17white and green the crust is soft chewy airy and slightly charred from the blistering heat of the
05:24wood-fired oven it's perfection on a plate pizza marinara don't let the name fool you it has no
05:32seafood it's the people's pizza tomato garlic oregano and oil it's simpler lighter and allows the quality
05:42of the tomato and the skill of the dough making to truly shine it's just as divine in its simplicity
05:50where to go you'll be spoiled for choice the legendary lantica pizzeria de michelle is an
05:57institution but be prepared for a long queue for a slightly less crowded but equally mind-blowing
06:04experience try sorbillo in the heart of the pizzeria district or 50 calo which is famous for
06:10its highly hydrated easily digestible dough the key is to see the passion in the pizzaiolo's eyes
06:17this is his life's work but naples culinary scene doesn't end with pizza street food you have to try
06:26a quapo it's a paper cone filled with an assortment of fried goodies from zucchini flowers and arancini
06:33stuffed rice balls to tiny fish alisai and potato croquettes crocky it's the ultimate walking meal
06:41also don't miss the frittatina a fried pasta pocket filled with pasta peas ham and lots of cheese
06:48it's a heart attack in the best possible way for the brave seek out o per e o muerto a sandwich filled
06:57with slow-cooked pork fat and skin it's a flavor explosion coffee the espresso here is a thick
07:04intense and cheap shot of energy drink it like a local standing at the bar in one quick gulp and you
07:12must try the cafe alla paglietta which is essentially an espresso with a dollop of cream divine pastries
07:21for dessert the dispogliatella is a must it comes in two varieties richia curly with a crisp layered
07:29pastry and frala with a smooth shortcrust pastry both are filled with sweet citrusy ricotta cheese and
07:37semolina pair it with a coffee and you've achieved nirvana also try the rum-soaked baba a classic
07:45neapolitan pastry often served with whipped cream where art and the underworld collide naples is a city
07:54of dramatic contrasts on one hand you have some of the most sublime art in the world on the other you
08:02have the shadow of its reputation thanks to organized crime let's explore both because to
08:08ignore one is to not understand the other the national archaeological museum man boss this is
08:15non-negotiable this is arguably the most important archaeological museum in the world for roman antiquities
08:23why because it houses the treasures excavated from pompeii and herculaneum we're talking about
08:30breathtaking mosaics so detailed you can see the individual tesserae perfectly preserved statues
08:35like the towering farnese hercules and the majestic farnese bull and even the everyday objects from
08:41carbonized bread to surgical instruments frozen in time by vesuvius the gabinetto segreto secret cabinet
08:49holds the famous erotic art from pompeii a fascinating glimpse into ancient roman attitudes towards sex and
08:55mythology visiting man before you go to pompeii will make the ruins come alive in a way you can't
09:01imagine the veiled christ located in the capella sansevero this is perhaps the most astonishing
09:08sculpture i have ever seen carved from a single block of marble by giuseppe san martino in 1753 the
09:16figure of christ lies under a transparent marble veil so intricately carved that you can see the folds
09:21and beneath it the details of his face the wounds of the crucifixion and even the veins in his hands
09:28it's a technical and artistic miracle that will leave you speechless no photographs can do it justice
09:35the chapel also houses other enigmatic figures known as anatomical machines adding to the mysterious
09:41aura of the place founded by the eclectic and learned prince raimondo de sangro the catacombs and
09:48the underground city beneath the noisy streets lies a silent hidden world the catacombs of san genaro
09:56are an ancient christian burial site with frescoes and mosaics dating back to the second century spread
10:01over two levels it was the original burial place of san genaro himself then there's napoli sotterania

10:24navigating narrow passages and learning how these spaces provided refuge and water for centuries
