Maradona murals
A two-minute walk from our facility on Via Emanuele de Feo, number 60, is the famous "Maradona mural," which became a pilgrimage destination for fans and tourists from all over the world after the passing of the 'Pibe de Oro'. This work, created in 1990 by artist Mario Filardi to celebrate Napoli's second Scudetto victory, was restored in 2016 by Salvatore Iodice and retouched in 2017 by Argentine street artist Francesco Bosoletti. Also in the Quartieri Spagnoli are numerous street art works dedicated to Pibe de Oro, including the "Mano de Dios" in vico Giardinetto, created by Argentine artist San Spiga with the collaboration of Salvatore Iodice, which depicts the famous hand goal in the 1986 World Cup against England.
Totò and Peppino murals
On Portacarrese Street in Montecalvario, not far from Toledo Street, hides a
veritable open-air museum. The alley, located in the Quartieri Spagnoli, has been
enriched in recent years by many works dedicated to Totò, Nino Taranto and
Peppino De Filippo, created by different artists. Murals, photos and posters, placed on the
sides of the alley, depict Neapolitan artists who have brought prestige to the city and
to being Neapolitans. A true installation, which is becoming
more and more a destination for tourists and the curious. Another attraction of the alley is the fake
typography "Lo Turco," the one from the most famous and funny scene in the movie "La
band of Honest Men," made in a disused workshop.

A sensory experience
Visiting Naples does not just mean ticking off a list of tourist attractions. It means diving headlong into an all-round sensory experience, where every element contributes to creating an indelible memory. And in this journey, taste plays a key role.
Neapolitan cuisine, with its layering of flavors, aromas and traditions, is an open-air art. Each dish tells a story, a connection to the land and sea, to the culture and passion of a people.
From pizza, the undisputed queen of Neapolitan gastronomy, to fresh fish dishes cooked with mastery, from savory ragouts to crispy sfogliatelle, every taste is an explosion of flavor that conquers the palate and the soul.
Strolling through the alleys of the historic center, getting lost among colorful stalls and heady scents, is an experience that awakens all the senses. Sampling a coffee in a historic café, sipping a fresh limoncello and enjoying the breathtaking view, is a must-do ritual.
Naples is not only a city to see, but a world to savor. A journey that conquers the heart, the mind and, most importantly, the taste buds.
