Naples, Naples, Naples, and the gastronomic hope far from the idea of "touristification"

In the city of Parthenope, food endures and continues to evolve.

In theneighborhoods of Naples, no new pizzerias, fry shops, or bars can open anymore. Restaurants, in short. This will be the case from 2023 to 2026 in an area of about 1.2 square kilometers in the historic center of the city: Tribunali,Quartieri Spagnoli, Spaccanapoli. Lively places, until the early 2000s. Today, people no longer go to the center to eat pizza: why would they put themselves through that? Impassable streets, hordes of tourists, signs created to satisfy the curiosity of a quick bite, certainly not to establish a durable and honest business model in the promise of catering made to customers. Naples knows, and has always known perfectly well. Controlled anarchy, religious socialism (the cult of San Gennaro is in the hands of the lay people of Naples, not the Church), abundant belly.
