An image that seems to fit Naples perfectly: not only because of its relationship with a tradition so famous that it has become iconic, but also because of the vital substratum that pulses beneath the heart of this splendid Mediterranean capital.

Sartoria Panico (ph. Dario Garofalo)[/caption] A poetic yet practical map that will take you among Neapolitan excellence: from the nativity scenes of San Gregorio Armeno to the master tailors of the elegant Chiaia district, the gloves of Rione Sanità, the lively stores of Spaccanapoli and Via San Biagio dei Librai, the coral of Torre del Greco and the wooden inlay of Sorrento. Plus master luthiers, ceramists, jewelers, makers of shoes, ties, cufflinks and umbrellas, 'fire craftsmen' and 'doll doctors.' An unprecedented itinerary from the blinding light of the gulf in the shadow of Vesuvius to the splendid island of Capri represents the most authentic soul and mirror of Naples.
