When to go to Naples?
Naples runs loud and close. Lanes in the old centre carry laundry overhead and baroque churches behind unmarked doors, and pizza, at Sorbillo or Da Michele, is folded and eaten standing. The Archaeological Museum holds the frescoes and mosaics lifted from Pompeii, while Spaccanapoli cuts a dead straight line through frying oil, basil and market shouting.
