I love YouTube! These videos show some of
the incredible sites and curiosities that you would find
on arrival in Naples. These videos are nice, but to
truly experience the flavor of Napoli, one must visit.
You have not lived until you have had mozzarella di
buffola in Campania.
Naples Slideshow(7 min,
45 sec) A
couple on their honeymoon in Naples was kind enough to
post an excellent collection of photos.
The video includes
downtown Naples, Mt. Vesuvius, a typical Neapolitan
craftsman working in a cameo shop, the bay of Naples and
many, many, many pictures of Pompeii.
There are also a few
pictures of the happy newlyweds sprinkled here and there
in this video.
Naples Museums
(5 min, 40 sec) A
very well scripted tour of the little known (and under
appreciated in my opinion) museums of Naples.
The video covers the
outstanding collection of paintings and sculpture housed
at the Archeological Museum, the Gallaria Umberto near
piazza Plebecito, and the outstanding artwork housed at
the Gallaria Farnese of Capodiamonte.
Not covered in this
video, but worth a look, is the Villa Pignatelli which
can be found at the mid point of the Villa Communale
opposite the ocean in the Chiaia area.
Crazy Singing Taxi Man
(1 min, 11 sec) This
video just goes to show that when you jump into a taxi
in Naples, you never know what you are going to get.
Cruise Passengers Port Call in
Naples to tour Pompeii
(6 min, 53 sec)
The commentary is a bit
funny and a bit annoying... I can't decide.
The tour of Pompeii is a
must for anyone spending a day in Naples; their tour
guide is a typical Italian tourguide. They also pass by
Castle Nuovo, which appears in the background towards
the end.
All I can say for sure is
that the Pizza Margherita shown at the end looks very,
very tasty.
