HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS IN NAPLES AND CAMPANIA!
An excellent choice to spend your Christmas holidays in Naples, a riot of
fireworks: these are used mostly to propitiate the new year, leaving the hard
work of the past year behind. Today, like yesterday, the energy and the hope
of Neapolitans are all superstitiously concentrated in two rituals: setting
off fireworks, and getting rid of old things, which reach their climax on the
evening of the 31st, donating to all tourists around the world a wonderful
firework show set in the beautiful surrounding frame of the gulf of Naples.
This year, the promenade will be dominated by NAlbero, an engineering
creation which looks like a huge Christmas tree, a metal fir tree that stands
on the seafront, 45 meters high and illuminates it with 1,300,000 LED lamps.
Symbol of Christmas in Naples and synthesis of the city, very modern while
strongly tied to tradition, the installation will be set up until March 2017. It is
worth it to take a tour, for an aperitif, for dinner with a
spectacular view or simply
to enjoy one of the most
beautiful sceneries in the
world and take photos of
this fantastic holiday in
Naples.!
However, before
visiting the city, don't
forget to ask your
concierge for our City
Map.

The pride of being Neapolitan
and the daughter of creation
B
eyond words may colors, over
distances can the moods of your
birth land which is always present
even when it is far away. This is the concept
behind Annapatrizia Settembre’s solo
exhibition, “Born in Naples”, in which the
artist represents her tight relationship with
the city, her pride of being born in Naples
and, at the same time, the consciousness of
being the daughter of creation, body and
soul. On display, paintings of different sizes
made with mixed techniques on canvas,
glass, Plexiglass, aluminum, cardboard and
wood. Works through which old memories
become colors, traces of past generations
become present, words no longer need
to be said, but are left to the imagination
through bold brushwork and where fear
and past pain are colored and turned into
positivity.
Armando Jossa, critic and art teacher,
defines the artwork of September:
"Narrative, dreamy thoughts colored by a
sincere hand, free of falseness and selfcelebrating virtuosity, which talk about love
in a simple and painful way. Hope for the
future of coexistence, ideas of coexistence
and brotherhood free from ideological
and / or moral barriers . A constant pictorial
research, curious in its multi material
experiments. Strong and bold colors that
alternate with others more subdued.
Paintings and 'whispered' poems by an
untamable pen towards the injustice of
human existence".
The emblems of the exhibition are two
paintings, "Butterfly" and "Fortuna", in
which the artist represents women’s ability
to undergo transformation to defend
themselves, their land and their children.
Annapatrizia September is a very versatile
artist. Born in Naples in 1965, she is a
writer, sociologist and journalist, poet and
painter. She has published four novels and
an art catalogue distributed by Amazon
worldwide. Her writings and paintings
involve many senses, soul and brain, smell
and memory, hopes and dreams, sweeping
away fears and giving courage, optimism
and victory.
The success of Settembre, over the years, has
landed overseas as well: the artist created
a painting entitled "San Gennaro" which
is currently guarded by the Deputation
"Children of San Gennaro" of the homonym
church dedicated to the patron saint of
Naples, in New York.

In time, "the carvers of Torre del Greco
specialized in carving shells because
the value of the raw material was low,
allowing small shops to operate with
little capital", she explained. Not only:
Neapolitan jewelry has always been
linked to the production of souvenirs
of Campania archaeological remains.
"The Etruscan jewelry was often used
with coral and enamels, and, even before
that, Naples was the manufacturing
center of excellence of precious metals
throughout the Mediterranean.
The treasures of the Chapel of San
Gennaro are an example: the extremely
innovative work of the miter by Matteo
Treglia and all the other small jewelry of
which we have examples".
Today, in the jewelry industry,
Campania region is the fourth pole in
Italy and the crafting and processing
of coral and cameo continues to be a
typical art of Torre del Greco.
The fascinating
world of
“red gold”
The history of coral told by someone

10  W H E R E N A P L E S I C O A S T & I S L A N D S I J A N UA R Y 2017
T
he origins of gold production in
Naples are ancient. Already in ancient
Parthenope worked many goldsmiths
from Magna Grecia. The activity was
flourishing in Roman times, even in
Pompeii, where a shop was found with branches of
coral on the desk, the carving of which is typical of
our area.
We spoke with Caterina Ascione, art historian and
designer, member of the historical family of jewelers
of Torre del Greco, for centuries the land of coral. The
first thing she told us about is the world record of
Torre del Greco, the only place in the world where
cameo is created from shells, an art which dates back
to the institution of the first coral factory in town, by
the Marseille Bartholomew Marten, in 1805.
The story of coral is tied to women.
"The factory in Torre implanted by
Marten employed mainly women
workers - explains Ascione - In Torre, for
more than 6 months a year, women were
the only inhabitants of the city because
the men left for coral fishing. Since
they were paid half at the beginning
and half upon their return, also
based on the amount of coral fished,
women were forced to work to support
themselves and coral allowed them to
do so. They were engaged in operations
requiring more sensitivity and precision:
threading, punching and the choice of
the corals. The toughest work, however,
was left to the men, such as cutting and
polishing (the coral was wiped for seven
hours under running water in cloth
bags). Still today a certain division of
roles remains, even though not as strict.
The threading and
the choice of
colors is still left
to the women,
but there is
a greater
number
of women
entrepreneurs".
Is it true that in the past,
coral was considered an apotropaic
object?
"Of course! It was considered a symbol
of strength, vitality, and fertility. Until
the 1700s it was thought to be the only
object belonging simultaneously to the
three kingdoms of nature: plant, due
to its arboreal form, mineral, because
it’s as hard as a stone, and animal,
because when freshly caught it has
small octopuses on it. Even in the coral
transformation process from soft, in the
form of seaweed, before being caught,
to when it hardens right out of the
water, there is always a reference to a
phallic shape. At the same time, it was
propitiatory to
fertility: coral
was given to
young brides
to keep them
healthy and
make them
procreate and to
nurses to increase
the tastiness of their
breast milk. In Christian times, coral
was associated with the color of the
blood of Christ. It is a sector in which
women and men have always had a
very close relationship. According to the
legend, in fact, Gorgon, from whom it
is said that coral originated, was both a
man and a woman".
What does coral represent for you?
"I come from generations of coral,
fishermen and entrepreneurs. I’ve been
exposed to coral since I was a child; it’s
my life. Then I began to study it and, in
fact, learning the history of coral has
made me understand better who I am
today".

Torre del Greco calls upon Unesco

Neapolitan cuisine
A journey through Neapolitan culture,
entirely built on flavors, where food is
considered first of all a moment of joy and
sharing because, for certuries, there was
very little of it
N
aples: a culture built on tastes. Taking us on this
journey through the flavors, history and tradition
of Neapolitan cuisine, is Luciano Pignataro,
journalist, writer and gastronimist, who dedicated
his last book to this theme. The title of the book is
“Neapolitan cuisine”, edited by Hoepli.
What is the main ingredient of Neapolitan cuisine?
The joy, the pleasure of gathering and sharing food. In Naples
there has always been a great lack of food, for this reason, meals
are always considered a time of pleasure and happiness, when
you reach the goal of ending the day. Food is not something
foreign to Neapolitans: it is within us. So much that we don’t say
"food" but "eating": we identify food with the gesture, so the verb
“eating” becomes a noun.
What influence did Neapolitan cuisine have on Italian
cuisine?
14  W H E R E N A P L E S I C O A S T & I S L A N D S I J A N UA R Y 2017
Essential. In Naples many eating habits
have mixed together over centuries: the
ones of invaders, the Roman greek ancient
heritage, the legacy of the monks and the
new habits that arise in a city that was for
centuries the most populated Italian city.
Naples also had one of the most important
European aristocracies who came here
with their cooks. The first gastronomic
revolution in Italy took place between the
end of the 1700s and the beginning of the
1800s with the court chefs and Monzù.
For this reason, Neapolitan cuisine deeply
influences Italian cuisine, and the most
famous words of Italian cuisine, pasta and
pizza, come from Naples.
The most typical Neapolitan food is
pizza. Is that so?
Our pizza is special because it’s cooked in
specially designed ovens, made to cook
at very high temperature, which have a
small, moon shaped opening. Other pizzas
are more like bread, they are also very
good, but pizza is another thing.
Is there a dish that you imported and
then characterized as yours?
The Genoese, which is also my favorite
dish! It has Ligurian origins: an onion and
meat sauce that Neapolitan creativity
made into a pasta sauce. Pasta with
vegetables is the trademark of Neapolitan
cuisine, even more than the seafood.
What are the basic ingredients of your
cuisine?
Garlic, olive oil, lard, broccoli, tomatoes,
oregano, basil, legumes and vegetables,
because in Naples pasta mostly replaces
bread.
Which is a typical Neapolitan winter
dish?
Maritata (married) soup is a typical
Neapolitan dish, which represents the
desire for meet which is not really present,
a “poor” dish. In our cuisine there is always
a trace of meat that is never real meet.
In fact Neapolitans developed a cuisine
which uses mostly animal guts, with spicy
soup, those parts of the animal considered
less noble but equally nutrient. Also pasta
with beans and pork rind, a very complete
dish.

FRANCESCO MARTONE – Established in
Monetti: Quality and innovation in Naples
Claudio Argenziano, who manages the company with his wife Gabriella Monetti, tells us about the restyling
of the headquarters in Via dei Mille and the secret of the success of one of the oldest shops of the city
L
ast October the jeweler Monetti, one of
the oldest shops in Naples, renewed its
headquarters in Via dei Mille. “Where”
interviewed Claudio Argenziano, now
running the company with his wife, Gabriella
Monetti.
What kind of changes have been made to
the jewelry shop?
The most striking change made to the shop,
is the ability to access the upper floor. Before,
customers left their watches at the entrance.
Now, they are taken upstairs where, with
the new laboratory, they can personally
see the very high technology used and the
specialized technicians. Not only: in the
space adjacent to the first floor we have
created a warm private atmosphere, a cozy
and secluded place that ensures customers a
completely exclusive purchasing experience.
The jewelry has been open since 1901. Can
you tell us its story?
In the early twentieth century, the name
Monetti was already synonym of high-class
watchmaking: in particular, those who sought
the pocket exemplary, the most exclusive
wrist model, were certain it could be found
only in Via Santa Brigida, 60. In the mid-50s,
Guglielmo Monetti passed on the business to
his sons, Guglielmo and Ugo, who expanded
the jewelry offer and transformed the shop
into an increasingly unique selling point. In
1954 a store in Rome, in Via delle Convertite,

&
16  W H E R E N A P L E S I C O A S T & I S L A N D S I J A N UA R Y 2017
was opened, always favoring the high
watchmaking and professionalism of the staff.
In 1968, a second store was opened in Naples,
in Via dei Mille, the most prestigious street of
the city.
What is the secret to the business’s success?
The desire to continuously innovate and
anticipate customer needs. Our business is
characterized by professionalism and by the
prestigious environments of the two stores,
in line with the Rolex brand, which we always
have represented in Naples.

MONETTI
Monetti since 1904
The turn of the 20th century saw the opening of the first
‘Monetti’ store at its historic headquarters in via Santa Brigida.
Its founder Guglielmo senior, a qualified technicianwatchmaker and a far-sighted pioneer of his times, defied
public opinion by believing in the water-resistant properties of
Rolex watches, an intuition that resulted in the establishment
of the Monetti-Rolex partnership, a tradition perpetuated
since 1932.
Over time, Monetti also began selling other coveted watch
brands and, in 1968, Giuglielmo junior began to make a
name for himself in the world of high-class jewelry, not only
by developing his own designs but also by partnering with
renowned goldsmiths like Pomellato.
Today, Monetti’s two Naples-based stores in via Dei Mille and
via Santa Brigida are still considered a reference point in the
city’s historical and commercial tradition.

In Naples, the food and wine experience starts right from the airport. Behind the choice of the shops in
the terminal, including their location, there is a careful study of the different profiles of travelers.
T
he International Airport of Naples
Capodichino presents a wide range of
food and beverage offer, both before
and after the security checks. We asked
Sergio Gallorini, consumer sales manager
of the terminal, what are the criteria used
to differentiate the food offer, and which
GESAC factors, the company responsible
for managing the airport, are considered
more important.
"Each airport has its own story. Capodichino
is a few kilometers from the city center,
deeply connected to it, and that's why our
offer is concentrated in the area before
security controls: passengers are often
accompanied here well in advance of the
flight, especially tourists who come from the
coast, so they have more time to stop and
eat or drink something. Every three months
we interview our passengers to better
understand their desires and habits. We
have identified five different profiles on the
basis of which we make our choices.
The dining options are scattered along
the way from the check in to the gate: we
have a long hallway that, without the food
offer would only be only a transit corridor;
so instead, we favor the stationing of
passengers.
Ample space is given to local excellence,
from Feudi di San Gregorio with typical
dishes of Irpinia to Garofalo Farms with
buffalo mozzarella. Since, however, ours

is an international airport, we also have
opened a sushi bar to meet the needs
of passengers who look for something
different. And for who was in Naples for
a long period of time and wants to eat
something that is closer to home, we even
have McDonald's.
Much attention is devoted to the format,
the type of products sold, but especially
the value of money: if food and beverage
are too expensive, then you will be led to
think that all the rest of the shopping is too.
We make sure that does not happen".

Swan lake
The Royal Ballet of the Moscow-Crown of Russia, directed by Anatoly Emelyanov, brings on stage at the
Bellini Theatre one of the most represented ballets in the world. Music by Tchaikovsky
B
allet in two acts and four scenes. The
Royal Moscow-Crown Ballet of Russia
brings on stage at the Bellini Theatre,
the masterpiece with music by Peter Ilyich
Tchaikovsky on the libretto of Marius Petipa.
Swan Lake was staged for the first time in
1877 at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow and
left the audience rather indifferet. For this
reason, after two years, it was revised by
the two great choreographers Lev Ivanov
and Marius Petipa, who on this occasion
overcame their rivalries and together
rewrote the choreography.
Lev Ivanov supervised the so-called "white
acts" (II and IV) and Marius Petipa took
charge of the I and III acts, the "blacks acts."
Even the music was revised, and other songs
by Tchaikovsky were included. The new
version, presented in 1979 at the Mariinsky
Theatre in St. Petersburg, was a huge success.
Since then, Swan Lake is one of the most
represented ballets in the world, a show
for fans of the genre but also for those who
want to immerse themselves in a magical
world, made of tulle and white shoes, on
the memorable notes of one of the greatest
Russian composers of the 1800s.
The love story between Prince Siegfried and
the beautiful Odette, victim of a spell that
transforms her into a swan during the day
and a girl at night, opposed by evil wizards
and Odile’s presence, is staged by the Royal
Ballet of Moscow - Crown of Russia, the
company founded and directed by Anatoly
Emelyanov. The ballet company, known
across the world, counts many dancers of

great artistic experience and sophistication.
Not only: it is the only company in the history
of Russian ballet to have toured in East Africa:
Tanzania to Zambia to Kenya.
Today, the soloists of the Company
are Viktorija Truposkiadi and Yevgeny
Truposkiadi, dancers of the Bolshoi Theatre
in Moscow. The art direction as well as the
adaptation of the choreography and libretto
are by Anatoly Emelyanov. Produced by The
Royal Ballet of Moscow - Crown of Russia.

Toy stories.
From the 1700s to Barbie
A delightful journey to discover the magical world of toys, from those used in the 1600s to the most
famous doll in the world, Barbie. Against abuse and discrimination
A
cheerful journey to discover the
magical world of toys, with particular
attention to the role that play has
always had in favor of tolerance and
overcoming all forms of discrimination.
An exhibition that traces the journey of toys
from the 1700s to the second half of the
1900s, during which the phenomenon of
the most famous doll in the world explodes,
Barbie.
On display are over a thousand little
masterpieces belonging to the toy Museum
of Naples Suor Orsola Benincasa: dolls,
tin toys, puppets and wooden characters,
board games and military games.
An exhibition of international importance,
including rare and clever toys, historical
memories, testimonies of culture, craft skills
and entrepreneurship, showcasing the
importance of creative imagination, fantasy,
and the so-called minor art best loved by
children and families.
A segment of the exhibition is dedicated
to 'falseness' in the world of toys through
the educational exhibition “You don’t
kid around with toys" promoted by the
"Museum of True and False" in collaboration
with the Public Prosecutor of Naples:
starting from the display of games
sequestered by the police and with the help
of interactive games, the goal is to raise
awareness regarding the values of legality
and safety of consumers, above all, the
health of children.
The social topic plays a strong role, in
the exhibition. Not surprisingly, the Toy
Museum of Naples is dedicated to the
memory of the gypsy child Ernst Lossa,
killed by the Nazi eugenics campaign,
and aims at bringing out, with strength
with beauty, the joy and grace that toys
condense and feed.
The exhibition is sponsored by the
Department of Culture and Tourism of the
City of Naples.
Running till 19th March.

CASTEL DELL’OVO - According to ancient
Neapolitan legend, its name stems from the
egg which Virgil, the Latin poet, supposedly hid
in its foundations to support the fortifications.
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. The castle’s fortifications

CASTEL NUOVO - Also known as Maschio
Angioino, it is one of the most recognizable
symbols of the city built in 1279 by Charles I,
king of Naples, as a royal residence for the House
of Anjou. From the time that it was built, it was
termed “New” to distinguish it from the older
Castles of Ovo and Capuano. Worthy of note are
its underground passages, its two towers and its
courtyard, from which you can enjoy a fabulous
view, its gallery and Piazza d’armi.

church dedicated to St. Erasmus. In 1329 it was
enlarged at the behest of Robert of Anjou, who
transformed it into a real palatium for himself and
his court. Later Spanish viceroy Don Pedro de
Toledo had it further fortified in 1538. Used as a
military prison until the 1970s, in 1976 important
restoration work on the castle began, returning
it to its original structure. Open Wed-Mon 8.3am-

in 1670 that recast the structure in the style of the
Baroque. In the 19th century, however, the church
was restored to its original Gothic design and is
a motley combination of the two styles. Among
the many artistic points of interest in the basilica
are the frescoed ceiling by Francesco Solimena
and sculptorial works, including the high altar by

GALLERIA UMBERTO I - A mammoth steel and
glass masterpiece built on the site of an entire
block that was razed to the ground following
the cholera epidemic of 1884. The Galleria was
built as part of a program of renovation and
modernization of the city which began with the
Unification of Italy when a tender was put out. The
winning project envisaged four large buildings
joined to each other by an arcade designed by
the engineer Paolo Boubée. Measuring 15 metres
in width and 57 metres in height, the galleria was
built between 1887 and 1890 and is a wonderful
late Victorian marriage of technology with art. The
Galleria has four access points: via San Carlo, via
Santa Brigida, via Giuseppe Verdi and via Toledo.
SEVEN SEASONS
OF THE SPIRIT
Solo exhibition by Gian Maria Tosatti
organized by Eugenio Viola. In the
conception and realization of the project,
the artist has traced the trail of the book
(Il castello interiore ) in which St. Teresa
d’Avila divides the human soul into seven
rooms: Tosatti has transfigured the seven
rooms of the chapel in as many monumental
installations environmental.

WHERE NOW | EPIPHANY
also has to do with
agricultural tradition. It is
said that in the twelfth night
after Christmas, January 5th, Mother
Nature, tired from all the energy spent
during the past year, appeared in the
form of an old woman flying through the
sky on a broom, thin, ready to be burned
as a dry branch and to be reborn from
the ashes in the form of regenerated
nature. For this reason, in this period,
in the country, the rituals to drive away
the evil from the fields are different. It is
common practice to light fires from dead
leaves, for example, or light up straw
puppets representing an old lady. The
Epiphany marks the end of the holiday
season. A festivity somewhere between
the sacred and the profane, which in
Naples is celebrated with a solemn
mass in the cathedral, although it is
now considered the traditional festivity
of children, who wait all night for the
Befana to fill their stockings full of candy.
Many events are organized in the city to
celebrate the Epiphany.
In Naples
it’s Befana time!
A journey between sacred and profane
to discover one of the main Christian
holidays. Appointments with the sweet
little old lady in town: concerts, childrens’
shows and events

T
he Epiphany holiday is linked to the adoration of
the Three Wise Men, three priests who came to
Bethlehem from the East, twelve days after Christmas,
to bring gifts to baby Jesus. During the trip in which
they followed the star of Bethlehem, the Magi kings
knocked on the Epiphany’s door, an ugly, old, hunchbacked lady,
to ask for directions to Bethlehem. She showed them the way,
but, despite their insistence, she did not go looking for them
because she had too many chores to finish. After the Wise Men
were gone, however, she decided to join them: not being able to
find them anywhere, she knocked on every door, leaving a gift to
each child in hope that one of them were Jesus. Since then she
has continued to bring gifts for millennia.
Even today this ugly, old, hunchbacked lady with a hooked nose
and pointed chin with a hairy mole, dressed in rags, enters all
homes through the chimney to put gifts and sweets in children’s
stockings: she leaves candy and cookies to the good ones and
pieces of coal to the bad ones.
The origin of the Epiphany celebration is not only religious but
The morning of January 6th, the
Epiphany arrives in Piazza del Plebiscito
to give sweets to all the children who
then can visit “Pompieropoli”, a course
set up by the City of Naples and the Fire
Department to teach children safety
through fun games.
The Via Caracciolo promenade, instead,
will welcome street performers and
water shows

‘The witch has arrived', is also a ‘sweet’
party for children, which will take place
in the Science Center on the morning
of January 6th. Educational workshops,
experiments, magic shows, tastings
and workshops are held by chocolate
masters of Perugina and the taste of
Naples City.

ASK YOUR CONCIERGE
An interview with Paolo Cicatiello, Night Concierge at the Hotel Europa
in Caserta and a member of the Golden Keys Association of Hotel
Concierges in Campania.
What is the strangest request you’ve ever
received from a client?
I’ve never received strange requests. Guests are
always demanding when they arrive in
a hotel: it is our job to empathize
with them.
What is the nationality
of the tourists you
prefer?
In our business you
cannot have preferences.
Everyone carries
something special. The
Japanese, however, are
different from all others: they
always bow to thank you and love
to photograph everything.
What do you recommend your guests to
visit, in Campania?
Our region is full of history and culture, it mostly
depends on the guests’ preferences. The narrow
streets of Naples, however, are always highly
popular.
What do you think is the
main quality that a
concierge should have?
The predisposition to
hospitality. He must be
a true host, become a
reference point for the
hotel guests, meet all their
needs with discretion and
confidentiality.
You have been elected
concierge of the Year in 2016.
What did this prize mean to you?
I'm flattered. The experience improves us and this
repays me of the sacrifices made over the years.
FOR ANY REQUIREMENT OR WISH THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE, ASK YOUR CONCIERGE!
