A slice of Italy …

Capricious and as wholly unpredictable as its many residents; Naples is the capital of the Campania region and home to two of Italy’s most famous exports, Sofia Loren and pizza.

While a chance encounter with Loren is always possible, you time might be better served sampling the chef’s pick in a local pizzeria.

Via dei Tribunali has a number of eateries that specialise in local favourites but for a true Naples pizza experience, you can’t go past the traditional Naples Margherita.

While the sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum can often feel barren, the opposite is true for Naples’ Archaeological Museum.

Many of the best frescos from these sites are found in the museum, single-handedly making history buffs and art lovers will feel right at home.

The Farnese Collection – which features an impressive collection of restored statues originally excavated from Rome’s Baths of Caracalla.
