^ I would sincerely suggest you a trip to Naples when you have some time and some money.

Of course, you take a look at the Pompeii ruins, cause it's the most impressive ancient Roman ruins you'll ever see. There's even an ancient corpse preserved by burning ash over there. It is curled up like a human fetus trying to protect themselves... It is something touching, believe it.

But the real thing is the Naples urban fabric. Was southern Italy better off, it would claim being Italy's jewel throne. And there is serious rivalry over there. It's like fucking France, Spain and Portugal, no joke when it comes to historic urban fabrics. It's a bad ass thing.

Actually, it's been everyone's reference so far.
