Carlo di Borbone or Carlo III (Charles III of Spain) is the person, everyone schould know about, while visiting . He has made Naples, the capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the most developed country in the 18th century Europe, by opening the World’s first opera house San Carlo, building the first train line in Italy, starting archaeological excavations in Pompei and Herculaneum, and many more. Contact us and we will help you discover Naples!

CARLO DI BORBONE, UN MONARCA ILLUMINATO
Carlo III, dopo essere stato, per 4 anni, duca di Parma e Piacenza, fu re di Napoli e, poi, anche di Sicilia, dal 1735 al 1759. In quell’anno divenne sovrano di Spagna e lo rimase fino alla morte, avvenuta nel 1788. Oltre ai tentativi di riforma economica, fiscale e giuridica, il sovrano diede impulso alla realizzazione di fastose opere architettoniche, con l’obiettivo di trasformare Napoli in una sfavillante città internazionale. Nel 1737, fece edificare – in appena 7 mesi – il teatro che porta il suo nome: il Real Teatro San Carlo. Fece costruite le regge di Portici e Capodimonte. Nel 1751, decise di commissionare una magnifica residenza reale, a Caserta. L’incarico fu dato all’architetto Luigi Vanvitelli, lo stesso che ideò anche il Foro Carolino a Napoli, l’attuale piazza Dante.
Carlo favorì la nascente attività archeologica in Campania. Grazie al suo interessamento, vennero alla luce, a partire dal 1738, le rovine di Ercolano, Pompei e Stabia.
Diventato re di Spagna, Carlo continuò a incarnare un modello di sovrano illuminato, cercando di modernizzare la società e l’economia spagnole, chiamando a collaborare le intelligenze migliori del momento, selezionate soprattutto nella piccola nobiltà del Paese. Concentrato sulla politica interna di riforme, non fu altrettanto avveduto in quella estera. Alla fine della Guerra dei Sette anni, strinse alleanza con la Francia, contro l’Inghilterra. Ma le cose non andarono bene. Con la Pace di Parigi, la Spagna p***e la Florida, in America.
Una curiosità: si deve a Carlo III l’adozione dei colori rosso e oro per la bandiera sp****la, mutuata da quella della marina militare del regno.

Buon Natale bellissima Napoli!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Naples, the World most beautiful city, has been founded in 21st of December of 475 BC by Greeks. Later has been ruled by Romans, Normans, Svevs, French and, finally, by beloved Spanish Bourbon dynasty, and is a Soul of Italy.
The legend says that God has been forgotten to create Naples, therefore being very tired, he just dropped down a piece of Haven 😃

"Allora San Gennaro gli disse: - Signore vi siete dimenticato di fare Napoli. E il Signore rispose: Gennarì sient mo so stanc. Pigl nu piezz e Paravis e vuttl abbasc".

L'antica Νεάπολις greca fu fondata il 21 dicembre del 475 avanti Cristo.
Quasi 2.500 anni di storia. Auguri alla città più bella del mondo ♥

15th of August is the most famous summer festivity – Ferragosto, what takes place only in Italy, and derives from the ancient Roman holidays Feriae Augusti (rest of Augustus), established by the emperor Augustus in 18 BC. It was a period of rest and celebrations following the Consalia, the celebrations for the end of agricultural works. A pagan celebration later has been assimilated by the Catholic Church, setting the date of the 15th of August as the Assumption of St. Mary, in fact from the jubilee of 1950 Pope Pius XII instituted the dogma of Mary assumed into heaven. Therefore it’s a double celebration - from pagan origins to Christian traditions.

Naples is a thousand colors,
Naples is a thousand fears,
Naples is the voices of the children, rising slowly,
and you know you’re not alone.

Naples is a bitter sun,
Naples is the scent of sea,
Naples is a worthless piece of paper, that nobody cares about.
And everybody awaits its luck.

Naples is a walk around
the streets among the others
All the Naples is a dream,
and the whole world knows it,
but don’t know the truth.

Naples is a thousand colors,
Naples is a thousand fears,
Naples is a bitter sun,
Naples is the scent of sea,
Naples is a worthless piece of paper, that nobody cares about.
Naples is a walk around
in the streets wounding around
All the Naples is a dream,
and the whole world knows it.

Naples is a thousand colors,
Naples is a thousand fears
Naples is a bitter sun,
Naples is the scent of sea.

meraviglioso omaggio a Pino Daniele di Chris Martin, che canta Napule è, nella cornice dello Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.Primo concerto in italia del 20232...

Dear Friends and all wonderful people around! Being close to the end of the year, arriving reflections about the passing 2019 and the great programs for the new 2020. About the passing times - I can say that I love what I am doing, and for the forthcoming - I desire to enjoy what I am doing and to share with people what one could find interesting or helpful. Therefore, I have created this page which means . I am Latvian, living and working in Italy around 5 years. Now my days are passing in or between Rome, Milan and Naples, but I have felt in love with Italy 20 years ago, when I had come to Rome for the first time. My boyfriend is from Naples, or more precisely Naplesian (napoletano in Italian), even if living almost all his live in Rome. Naplesians are not only inhabitants of Naples, they are a nation with their own language and the strongest cultural background what I ever has seen (in fact it’s very close to my own national identity – Latvian). Anyway – today may heart is in Naples and would like to share my feelings with a very popular song “'A citta' 'e Pulecenella” in a performance of “Gruppo Mastro Masiello Mandolino” form my birthday celebrations in Naples the last June - “Comm'e' bella comm'e' bella, 'a citta' 'e Pulecenella”– “How beautiful, how beautiful is the city of Pulcinella (Naples)”!!!
