SPACCANAPOLI

Spaccanapoli corresponds to Via Croce, which continues on the via San Biagio dei Librai. The term also refers more broadly to one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the heart of Naples, with its narrow streets, churches, numerous cloisters and chapels. Take advantage of the know-how of the Neapolitan craftsmen (large ceramics production, wrought iron manufacture, work of stucco for mouldings).

On more than two kilometres of length and only six metres in width, houses, churches, palaces and squares follow, always in a lively atmosphere. Venturing into the Spaccanapoli is entering a theatre of nature, where one becomes both spectator and actor. from the top of their balcony the Italian mamas speak by drying their linen on hanging cords above our heads; craftsmen call on passers-by to bring them into their shops, where all kinds of objects are found; The pizzaïolos fill the street of a thousand and a Mediterranean flavour and make their kitchen to the greedy. children play football and drivers ring the engine of their vespa to try to sneak. Take a break at the terrace of the café Scaturchio, on the square of San Domenico Maggiore to better appreciate what is going on and do not forget to taste some of their delicious pastries, such as their very famous babà. But the real hidden treasure of Spaccanapoli is located at the San Severo chapel, behind the San Domenico Street, which hosts the Christ Veiled of Guiseppe Sanmartino, a masterpiece of late Baroque.
