Tradition

Naples is a magical city, a fertile land of ancient traditions, the cradle of myths and legends that have their roots in a millennial past of a very special popular culture. Superstition and respect for religious and secular rites and traditions, inherited from generation to generation. The typical expressions of Neapolitan folklore recognized and widespread among the most traditional symbols of the collective scenario are infinite: from the Pulcinella mask to the Miracle of San Gennaro, from the Tarantella folk dance to the Neapolitan grimace with the interpretation of dreams. A myriad of myths and legends handed down orally: from the sacred to the profane, which span time and space from the foundation of the city to the present day.
