NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD PEOPLE TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY!

Naples is always a paradox for me as IT IS A MIXTURE OF SAN FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND IN THAT IT POSSESSES GRANDEUR AND ABJECT POVERTY.

MOUNT VESUVIUS TOWERS OVER THE BAY OF NAPOLI LIKE AN OLDER BROTHER GUARDING HIS LITTLE SISTER ON HER FIRST DATE: THERE IS LITTLE ROOM FOR ERROR.

THE WEALTH OF NAPLES LIES NOT IN THE GALLERIA UMBERTO NOR AT THE TEATRO SAN CARLO, BUT IN "LE GENTE DI NAPOLI" -THE PEOPLE OF NAPLES.

Like Oakland,

THE NEAPOLITAN S ARE

'FUNKY" AND DOWN-TO-EARTH.

EATING A GELATO AT NIGHT ON THE BAY OF NAPLES IS MAGIC

AND ROMANTIC AS WELL...Wayne.

'A Rumba de' Scugnizzi

THE YOU TUBE VIDEO OF NAPOLI.
