T: 08119569381 www.kromia.net WELCOME TO CHIAIA THE WORD TO... We asked Guglielmo Campajola, President of the Chiaia Consortium (which gathers shopowners in the area under its umbrella) and the owner of the Gran Caffè La Caffettiera in Piazza dei Martiri why a tourist should visit Chiaia. This quadrilateral, defined as ‘the living room of Naples’, embodies centuries of history. It was here that people drew inspiration for the fashion, art and culture that defines the neighbourhood today. For this reason the Consortium wants to create a sort of ‘open-air’ Art Gallery. Its alleys and square will thus tell their stories through art, culture, shopping and tastings. Chiaia is the gateway to an exciting Neapolitan adventure. We look forward to seeing you!

Galleria Raucci Santamaria, Naples The Chiaia neighbourhood is studded with art galleries and boutiques, but it’s also the city’s prime night-life zone. Located just moments from the sea, it is the ideal place for a relaxing stroll. The district, whose name derives from the Castilian word ‘playa’ (beach), borders on Fuorigrotta, with the elegant residential neighbourhoods of Vomero and Posillipo, and on San Ferdinando, a district of art and culture, packed with theatres and museums. It was here, in the 16th century, during the reign of Charles II of Bourbon, that the Viceroy of Naples, the Duke of Medina, decided to create a small, elegant residential town. Located just outside the walls of the city, at the foot of Vomero and behind the sea, he embellished it with gardens and fountains. However, over the centuries, the area was gradually transformed and enlarged. The heart of the Chiaia neighbourhood is the Riviera di Chiaia, one of the most beautiful streets in the city which connects piazza Vittoria to Piedigrotta. The site of one of the first film shoots by the Lumiere brothers at the end of the 19th century, the Riviera di Chiaia was also the area chosen by British writer Mary Shelley as the birthplace of Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the main character of her famous book. The area is also home to the Villa Comunale, one of the green lungs of the city, built in the 1780s by Ferdinand of Bourbon. The Villa Comunale shelters the enormous Cassa Armonica decorated with coloured stained glass windows and the Antonio Dohrn Aquarium, the second oldest aquarium in Europe. Located nearby is the Neoclassical Villa Pignatelli which, with its period furnishings, is now a beautiful house museum. When you need a break from Naples' hyperactive tendencies, take a stroll along via Caracciolo, the city’s pedestrianised seafront strip, leading from piazza Vittoria to the centre of the city. Offering views that are nothing short of exquisite, it takes in the entire bay and is lined with bars, restaurants, pubs and pizzerias. Overhanging the Lungomare is the outrageously picturesque Castel dell’Ovo. Built in the 1st century B.C., it is the oldest fortress in Naples and one of the city’s most emblematic landmark attractions. The area is home to several of the most luxurious and panoramic hotels in the city. No less charming is the street that leads from the opposite side towards Mergellina, a picturesque fishermen’s village featuring distinctive chalets and a small tourist port. The Chiaia neighbourhood abounds in magnificent religious buildings. One such example is the Church of Piedigrotta where, each year, in September, the famous festival of Piedigrotta is held. The right side of the church overlooks a small park which hosts the Tomb of Virgil and the sepulcher of the Romantic poet Giacomo Leopardi. Jacopo Sannazaro also lived in Mergellina where he founded the Church of Santa Maria del Pianto. While in the area, don’t miss a visit to the Church of the Ascensione and the Church of San Pasquale, among the most beautiful in Naples. Chiaia is also the city’s prime nightlife zone. The quadrangle of streets between Via Poerio, Via Carducci, Via Santa Caterina and Via Filangieri are crammed with lots of wine bars, discotheques, pubs, pizzerias and restaurants, meaning that nights out on the town can literally be spent moving from one venue to the next. However, above all, the neighbourhood is Piazza dei Martiri, Naples renowned on an international level for its shopping. Luxury designer boutiques and several of the city’s most historical stores are located between Piazza dei Martiri, Via Calabritto and Via Carlo Poerio. BY TRAIN Metro, Line 2 and Line 6, Piazza Amedeo or Mergellina stop; Chiaia Funicular (Piazza Amedeo station).

Although most of them are located in Cilento, the coast and islands are also covered. Beaches that have received the award in Anacapri include Faro Punta Carena, Gradola and the Blue Grotto. Situated on the Island of Capri, each year, these oases on the Tyrrhenian sea, attract thousands of visitors. In Massa Lubrense, a colourful little fishing village at the southern tip of the Sorrentine Peninsula, Blue Flag certification was awarded to the Baia delle Sirene, Marina del Cantone, Marina di Puolo and Recommone. Positano, which dominates the Bay of Salerno with its long, characteristic stairways, Positano received certification from Fee for the beaches of Arienzo and Fornillo. Castellabate, a part of the Nature Park of Cilento, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998, received Fee’s prestigious certification for Lago Tresino, Marina Piccola, Pozzillo (in the small town of San Marco), Punta Inferno and the Bay of Ogliastro Always in Cilento, award-winning resorts included Capaccio, Ascea, Casal Velino, Vibonati, Pisciotta, Montecorice, Centola and Agropoli with the magnificent beaches of Torre San Marco and Trentova, and Pollica, with the beaches of Acciaroli and Pioppi. This year, in the same area, a new entry was registered in San Mauro Cilento with the awarding of a blue flag to the beach of Mezzatorre. Above all, qualifying criteria for the 2016 Blue Flag award included the ability of local authorities to manage the area and encourage environmental education targeted at preserving the environment and promoting sustainable tourism. The main indicators taken into consideration were: the existence and operational level of purifying systems, waste management, the promotion of environmental activities to ensure better living conditions during the summer season, the enhancement of natural areas in the region, the maintenance of buildings and beach equipment and, finally, easy access to the beach for everyone. THE BLUE GROTTO The most famous attraction on the Island of Capri. Measuring 25 metres in width and 60 metres in length, it can be accessed by lying on the bottom of a rowing boat that literally glides through its entrance measuring less than one metre in height. Once inside you will find yourself bobbing in the dark on water that is so blue that it almost seems transparent. BAY OF TRENTOVA Famed for its crystalline waters, you will be seduced by its delightfully scenic surroundings. According to legend, its name derives from the fact thatm many years ago, 30 seagull or sea turtles eggs were allegedly discovered in the caves surrounding it. A true marvel of nature!

RITA CHILIBERTI A By car Strada Statale 163 The tiny archipelago of Li Galli is situated approximately three miles off the coast of Positano. Part of the protected marine area of Punta Campanella, it is formed by three islands, Gallo lungo, the largest, La rotonda and La Castelluccia. The archipelago which, according to legend, was once inhabited by sirens, was purchased in the 1920s by Russian ballet dancer and choreographer Leonide Massine who built a theatre and villa on it. A decade after his death, Li Galli was bought by another Russian dancer, Rudolph Nureyev who planned to open a ballet school on the island. His untimely death prevented him from fulfilling his dream and, in 1988, the island was once again uninhabited. Since 1993, it has been owned by an industrialist from Sorrento who bought it for the princely sum of five billion lire. Li Galli has hosted a roster of celebrities including Greta Garbo, Roberto Rossellini, Anna Magnani, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Kennedy, Aristotele Onassis, Hillary Clinton and Franco Zeffirelli. Today, the archipelago can only be reached by private boat. Although the islands are tiny and impervious, the beauty of their crystal-clear waters and magnificent surrounding scenery are well worth a visit. The archipelago is also inhabited by a rare species of light blue lizard, now almost extinct. Ideally, walks should start from Colle Serra in Bomerano, on the outskirts of Agerola, a small town on the hills of the Amalfi Coast. The footpath, with its vertiginous panoramas, follows a tortuous route that rises and dips, affording magnificent views of the entire coast. It offers hikers a chance to commune with nature while admiring caves and the crystalline sea that extends underfoot, seemingly forever. It is an ideal route for anyone who enjoys trekking - those who walk it once fall in love with it forever. The footpath ends in the village of Nocelle, on the outskirts of Positano, which can be reached by bus or, in an extra hour and a half, on foot. Alternately, an hour-long, 1,700- step descent, leads to Arienzo, one of Positano’s most lovely beaches, located just 10 minutes from the centre of the town. After a walk along a path worthy of the gods, a refreshing swim in heavenly waters is a cure-all.

A common thread that links wine to the cinema: Spanish graphic duo Laovejabala exhibit ten wooden wine barrels decorated with images borrowed from the world of celluloid T en large wooden wine barrels decorated with the pictures of legendary stars of the screen. The Laovejabala project, linking the world of cinema to wine, is promoted by Spanish graphic duo Enrique Martin and Raùl San Cristòbal, the former a graphic designer and the latter an interior designer. Natives of La Rioja, the two artists wished to pay tribute to Naples by exhibiting several pieces from their ‘Film Barrels Collections’. The unusual choice of location makes this exhibition even more interesting. The ten wine barrels are, in fact, on exhibit in the hall of the Reinaissance Naples Hotel Mediterraneo. Guests attending the event at the hotel will be met by images of Malcom X, Alfred Hitchcock, Bruce Lee, Al Pacino, Philippe Noiret and Arnold Schwarzenegger whose faces grace the surfaces of the massive wood and steel wine barrels displayed in the foyer. An exhibition open to the public with the idea that a hotel should not only represent an exclusive space for those staying there but should also serve as a sort of museum space for the city at large. The artists also paid tribute to Naples by including a barrel showing Sophia Loren embracing Marcello Mastroianni in their collection. An unforgettable movie scene that is particularly dear to the hearts of the Neapolitan people. “The collection stems from an idea of two worlds that are closely related to our culture, namely wine and cinema, and barrels provide the ideal media to achieve this. It is our small tribute to the world of celluloid. We have attempted to cover all genres and eras” (Laovejabala).

The place where the egg was preserved was closed by heavy locks and kept secret because it was believed that all the facts and fortunes of Castel Marino depended upon it. From that time onwards, the fate of the castle and the entire city, was linked to that egg.
