Napoli: useful information
Napoli: useful information
After a short while, we reached a hill, where a
magnificent picture stretched in front of us.

headlands, the rock-faces, and the islands, and, in
the background, the sea: the view was a real spell.

Johann Wolfgang Goethe (from "Italienische Reise")
