6. Proposal n.6 Fontanelle Cemetery

Very suggestive is the Fontanelle Cemetery, a tuff quarry in the Rione Sanità of Naples where, starting from the plague of 1656, the poor remains of the victims of the epidemic were hosted. The ritual of the "capuzzelle" is linked to it, that is, the custom of adopting the skull of one of the dead of unknown identity to whom to ask for services and favors, as if he were a member of the family. From that moment the capuzzella became an integral part of the family and care and prayers were reserved for it.

The skulls were washed, adored and placed in wooden or glass boxes, as if they were their own. The devotees chose a skull, cleaned it and built an altar with candles and rosaries. They began to pray for the chosen soul that manifested itself through the dream. The spirit asked for prayers to be addressed to alleviate the pains of purgatory. The devotee, once he returned to the Fontanelle Cemetery, further embellished the altar, continued to pray and, in return, asked for a grace.

Most of the Neapolitans believed in the cult of the "capuzzella" and adopted a skull to address prayers in exchange for a grace. If grace occurred, the skull was placed in a more protected place. If grace did not arrive, another was chosen with which the same process was started. In this ossuary it is therefore possible to understand the relationship that the Neapolitans have with religion, death, the deceased, fate, lottery, luck. 18

Some of the skulls of the Fontanelle Cemetery have become "famous" among the Neapolitans: for example the Captain's skull, around which various legends revolve, and that of Donna Concetta, called 'A capa che suda because it is always shiny and does not get dusty never, unlike other skulls in the cemetery ... Truth, legend, popular belief, whatever it is, the fountain cemetery is still today a sacred place for the Neapolitans.

7. Tour Esoteric Naples

1. The church of the souls of Purgatorio di Arco The Church of the Souls of Purgatory of Arco, a seventeenth-century jewel, erected in full counter-reformation fervor, located in Via dei Tribunali just a few meters ahead of the famous Sorbillo pizzeria, on the same side of Via Tribunali and linked to the cult of the "pezzentelle souls" . It can be easily recognized because outside there are two columns with bronze skulls on top with their crossbones and a grate in the center from which flowers protrude.

It represents a fundamental place of worship for the Neapolitans, who have stopped here since the seventeenth century after the meditatio mortis offered by the vision of the cemetery below.

The church was built in 1616 on behalf of some Neapolitan noble families to make it a burial place and was dedicated to the cult of the souls of Purgatory "pezzentelle souls", so that after the 19 death could make the stay in that place that prevented reconciliation with the Lord shorter.

The "pezzentelle souls" are the souls of the abandoned dead, who wander in Purgatory in search of eternal peace and whose skulls are "adopted" by the Neapolitans, just like in the Fontanelle Cemetery, with the difference that here worship is practiced in a church and still today there are many faithful who come down there to pray.

2. Church of Santa Maria Maggiore alla Pietrasanta

This church stands on the remains of an ancient Greek-Roman temple of Diana, a female divinity to which women turned to obtain painless parts.

Here the priestesses officiated, called janare by the name of the goddess, who were accused of witchcraft and banned by the Catholic Church, because they were considered capable of invoking the Devil, who is said to terrify passers-by disguised as a huge pig.

So, in 533 the bishop Pomponius, to drive out the devil, had the current church built on the temple of Diana at the exact point where the famous Holy Stone was found, coming from the church of Santa Maria Maggiore di Sion, from which the church takes its name and brought to Naples by pilgrims from Jerusalem.

The signs of the ancient temple are still visible today on the bell tower, unique in Naples in its architectural genre, which incorporates pre-existing Greek and Roman columns and walls and which bring figures dear to the ancient medieval hermeticists.

What makes this church interesting in our tour of esoteric Naples, are once again the basements, which testify to the passage of the Knights Templar to Naples.

3. Church of Santa Chiara

If for some ghosts there is a logical explanation, others seem to really be wandering the alleys of Naples. Among these is Giovanna D’Angiò, queen of Naples, murdered in 1382 by four assassins by order of Charles III of Durazzo for reasons related to the legacy of the throne. It seems that he has not found peace and that even today it is possible to perceive his ghost in the Monastery of Santa Chiara, the Franciscan citadel wanted by King Robert of Anjou and his wife Sancia of Majorca in 1310.

4) Church of the Gesù Nuovo 20

Leaving the cloister of Santa Chiara, in Piazza del Gesu Nuovo to admire the Gesu Nuovo church, a masterpiece of Baroque art that over the centuries has seduced scholars and travelers, whose spearhead façade still retains some mystery, such as the strange graffiti present on the piperno stones that hide the pentagram of a madrigal. An open-air pentagram, with music carved in the facade and finally deciphered by an art historian, Vincenzo De Pasquale, 55 years old, with a passion for the mysterious Neapolitan Renaissance.

5) Tomb of Dracula

But in Naples there are not only ghosts, black magic and templars. Recent studies have identified the Tomb of Dracula right here in Naples, precisely in the Cloister of Santa Maria la Nova. The news left me shocked too.

6) Palazzo Penne and the legend of the Devil

Not too far from Santa Maria La Nova, we find Palazzo Penne, a fifteenth-century palace considered one of the most interesting testimonies of the Neapolitan Renaissance culture and surrounded by an ancient legend that identifies it as the "Devil's Palace". 21

8. Itinerary n. 8 : Street food tour around Pignasecca market

SWIMMING IN NAPLES: SUBMERGED PARK OF GAIOLA

The submerged park of Gaiola is one of the most fascinating and least known beauties of the city of Naples. This short stretch of coast, enclosed within a small bay close to the Posillipo hill, in fact presents invaluable riches, both of an archaeological and naturalistic nature. The remains of ancient villas, fish ponds and moorings from the Roman era lie submerged, due to the geological phenomenon of bradyseism, a few meters below sea level and host various and colorful marine species. Because of particular environmental conditions, in fact, the flora and fauna present in this small strip of sea have completely different characteristics than those of the rest of the coast.

CAMPI FLEGREI NAPOLI (POZZUOLI, AMPHITHEATER FLAVIO, CUMA)

The Phlegraean Fields Naples are a splendid coastal area where completely unique geological phenomena occur which make this area very fascinating and mysterious. Just think that the area also inspired Virgil with "the myth of the Aeneid", set right here. Recall that the Romans built villas, aqueducts and amphitheatres that we can still admire today. They are located north of the Gulf of Naples about half an hour's drive from the city and include several areas including Pozzuoli, Baia, Agnano, Cuma, Bacoli. It is an area rich in thermal areas and lakes that were formed by the lowering of the coastal territory known as "bradyseism". We can mention Lake Fusaro, Lake Lucrino, Lake Averno and Miseno which enrich the beauty of the landscape. Recall that in the subsoil there are volcanoes and bubbling lava, a bit like being on top of a pressure cooker. The Flegrea area is a vast territory and it takes organization and time to see it all. Our advice is to take Pozzuoli as a starting point. Below, the one-day itinerary, here's what we offer you in the Campi Flegrei:

1. Pozzuoli, Temple of Serapis, Jupiter and Neptune

2. Flavian Amphitheater

3. Excavations of Cuma

1.POZZUOLI

Pozzuoli is a colorful and delightful town that lies on the shores of the sea, in the homonymous gulf. We are in the province of Naples, in the volcanic area of the Campi Flegrei. A large terrace overlooking the sea and the nearby islands of Ischia and Procida. Pozzuoli was founded in the 6th century BC by Greek colonists with the name of Dicearchia, which means "just government". A few centuries later, the Romans, however, called it Puteolis, to indicate the "small wells" that emitted sulphurous vapors. It had a huge harbor. The largest port in the Tyrrhenian Sea during the Roman Empire, for important commercial exchanges with the whole Mediterranean.

2. FLAVIO POZZUOLI AMPHITHEATER

Blood dripping on the sand, thundering applause and arms raised in triumph: all images that, for centuries, have characterized this imposing amphitheater (the third largest in Roman Italy) built by the imperial colony of Puteoli under the reign of Vespasiano (69- 79 AD) and intended for gladiator fights, hunts and executions. Measuring 153 × 121 meters, and articulated vertically on three floors, it is remarkable for the well- preserved arena and for the basements with a sophisticated complex of changing rooms, cells for ferocious animals and the remains of the hatches and elevators. Pour in good condition, especially in the basements where you can learn more about the pulley system that raised the cages of ferocious animals ready to fight with gladiators. It is said that sometimes the arena was flooded to stage naval battles for prominent guests visiting Pozzuoli. Come in and dedicate a visit to him. We were amazed.

4. CUMA

An ancient, famous dead city where history, myth and legend meet. Cuma was the oldest Greek settlement in the western Mediterranean and fought against the Etruscans. Conquered by the Samnites, it was later a loyal Roman city and became an impregnable fortress in the Byzantine era then, in 1207, it was destroyed and abandoned. The city, sacred to Apollo and his prophetess, the Sibyl, is now an archaeological park including the acropolis overlooking the sea and the lower city. In a verdant scenery you can see walls, temples and galleries, roads, houses and spas. Outside the walls there is the amphitheater, dated to the end of the second century BC. C.

WHAT THE TOUR POZZUOLI, AMPHITHEATER FLAVIO, CUMA INCLUDES - Pick up return from the b & b in a private car with driver; - Duration of 6 hours (including pick up and return). WHAT THE TOUR DOES NOT INCLUDE: - Entrance tickets; - Private guide (only on request with an additional price).
