Very informative and interesting. The presenter is extremely knowledgeable. I learned a lot and highly recommend this class.
A great overview of Naples' history, art, neighborhoods, food and culture. Fiorella's enthusiasm and insight made me want to dive deeper. Her tips are helpful for any first time traveler to the city. Can't wait to visit!
Fiorella was great! She took us all over her Naples--such a historic treasure of a city. I'll be on a ship with just a day to sightsee--makes me want to change my post-cruise from Rome to a stay there instead. Thank you, Fiorella!
The presentation included information about a variety of sights in Naples. It was interesting to hear from the perspective of someone who lives there.
I have travelled extensively to Northern Italy, but have always been intrigued by the south, especially gritty Naples. I have a profound interest in art, especially sculpture, having once travelled with an artist friend to select marble out of Carrara. Fiorella's "hands on" perspective of Naples provided a fascinating, yet straight-forward perspective of what a visitor to Naples might expect. She pointed out special places perhaps overlooked by tourists just looking to have pizza and a cannoli. What was especially rewarding was her knowledge of the art works she shared with us and how she tied it in to its importance to the community of Naples.
