Pignasecca quarter in Naples

This street hasn’t a direction, or to be more exact, it has a direction but nobody cares about it. The mopeds comes from the adjacent quarters with 2,3 or 4 persons on the saddle. The footpaths are full of street vendors of every kind and race. The cars are mixed with people that try to walk as fast as possible to arrive safe at the end of this chaos. Here you can find the stations of the Cumana, the funicular (that brings on the top of the hill of Vomero) and an important stop of the Naples metro lines. When all these public transports arrive at few minutes distance a river of persons overflow into this narrow and long street. Welcome to the Pignasecca of Naples, a street less of a kilometre long where you can find and meet everything and everyone. The best seafood of Naples and the best arancini of Naples; blankets, dresses, bread and fruits at a very cheap price are sold here. You can see the lovely balconies full of flowers, with clusters of tomatoes or chilli hanged up, or with vase of mint, sage and basil. But also dirty streets, ruined walls and cars parked on the footpaths. If you have only few minutes to visit Naples and you want to discover all the good and all the bad of the city, ask someone to show you the Pignasecca.
