Angela: “Culture exudes from every aspect of this city”

Angela presented the episode with a long post on Facebook: “I have always had a deep relationship with the city of Naples, ever since, as a boy, I attended the Aquarium as a volunteer (the Antonio Dohrn Zoological Station), with the intention to become an oceanographer. Over the years I have often returned for work reasons, but, I confess, also to breathe, as a tourist, the air that only in this city is it possible to breathe. Yes, because when you walk along the seafront, in the alleys, in the streets lined with ancient columns, churches, palaces, when you are in a square in Naples, you realize how much history, how much culture the city has been the protagonist: Greeks, Romans , Normans, French, Spanish…. It is a bit like counting the rings of a large tree: each of them is able to tell you about an era, a historical moment made up of great events, but also of small stories of everyday life in which those alleys and squares echo and they still talk today. How many other cities in the world are able to tell you three millennia of history as well as Naples? “, He writes again on Facebook,” A city with a deep Greek soul that has seen the domination of many peoples over the millennia and which, unlike as usually happens, she has not only held back something of each of them, but she has managed to change the invader of the moment, she has enchanted him with her soul. Culture exudes from every aspect of this city: from the myriad of artists who have embodied it and embody its soul, recounting it and making it known in the world, to music, the nerve center of the life of any Neapolitan in every era. Up to the table, where the Neapolitan flair has managed to divinely combine foods and flavors from all over the world in dishes and drinks such as pizza and coffee that make Naples known throughout the planet ».
