Neapolitan traditions
In Naples, traditions are lived.
They are ancient gestures that endure, rituals inhabiting alleys, courtyards, and kitchens.
Some are known worldwide, others are passed down quietly within families, or renewed each year in the neighborhoods—where sacred and profane intertwine.
In this city that breathes history, every ritual is a language, every gesture a form of belonging. From the collective faith in San Gennaro to the magic of handcrafted nativity scenes, from winter bonfires to raucous bingo games—Naples is a theatre of living traditions.
