L'articolo Church of San Giovanni a Carbonara, suspended between light and mystery stories proviene da Charme.

It was through these cavities, according to tradition, derived in part from “De Bello Gothico” of Procopius, who in 536 AD General Flavius ​​Belisarius managed to penetrate secretly into the city, at the head of 400 men, after conquering over twenty-day siege. A blitz that put in place by the officer Byzantine Empire, which was emulated in early June 1442 by the troops of Alfonso of Aragona, in turn, are able to take advantage of that same underground passage to get in, sneak in Naples, tearing it to Angevins.
Not only that, therefore, one of the many shelters warlike Partenope which was equipped during the terrible years of World War II, but also the connection point through the aqueducts and cisterns of Roman Neapolis with the history of the centuries.
Reopened to the public for a very short time, the hollows of San Giovanni a Carbonara can be visited in the next weekend thanks to the tour “caver-cultural” organized by the Focus-Napoli Art, in collaboration with Portico 340 and the Association Agorà Domani.

L'articolo In the belly of Partenope in the footsteps of General Belisario proviene da Charme.

As repeatedly pointed out, the theme of the initiative follows the footsteps of the literary text of Benedetto Croce: “Stories and neapolitan legends” And after having exposed the first part of the interesting initiatives promoted by numerous cultural associations in the city, let us now analyze the second and equally compelling “slice” of cultural offerings.
We start from a truly original event , that promoted every day, until May 31, by Carlo Rendano Association proposes that the  Food and Art Tour, a special guided tour
“tourist- gastronomic” to discover the beauty of Partenope.

With each monument presented and explained to the tourists is associated with a tasty dish typical of the neighborhood. The menu .. from San Giovanni a Carbonara, where, together with the history of the architectural complex , you can enjoy a good baba, to Porta Capuana with the classic pizza, going to the monumental complex of Santa Caterina in Formiello where visitors are expected from the tasting of a fine broth of octopus in the shade of centuries-old cloisters.

Still, space for the dramatized historical performance, as the stories and legends south of Santa Chiara, a guided tour by the association Vico pazzariello ARTS with actors, musicians and experts in art history that all the Sundays in May and June 1 will reveal to visitors the legend of Queen Giovanna d’Angiò. It then continues on May 17 with Flames and Reason,  the show, dedicated to the philosopher Giordano Bruno, in the monumental complex of San Domenico Maggiore.

And for those who do not ever yet seen, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. We’re talking about the Neapolitan Crypt, the tunnel excavated in the tufa of the Posillipo hill, between Mergellina and Fuorigrotta that thanks to the Cultural Archaeology Naples will be open during the days of May 4 and June 1. According to legend, the tunnel was built by Virgilio in one night, with the use of his powerful magic art, and indeed that is where his remains rest together with those of the poet Giacomo Leopardi.

If you are a lover of the true pleasures of life, and do not disdain a pinch of pepper , here is the sought- tour organized by Insolita Guida: “Sin , when the houses were closed …” scheduled on May 31. A journey through the palaces of Naples, which were once home of the most famous brothels frequented by well-known personalities unexpected.
