Pozzuoli seafront

The promenade is one of the most attended places of Pozzuoli, during the day and the night. It’s the place of the Phlegraean night life: here there are pubs, restaurants, pizzerias, ice-cream parlours and the coolest clubs of the town. In the summertime it’s impossible to find a place to park your car in the evening. It’s better to come by feet, so you can also enjoy the landscape. The promenade of Pozzuoli has changed so many names that is difficult to understand which is the current. This zone was called, in Neapolitan dialect “ngopp’ a loppa”, (literally “on the loppa”) where loppa was the word used to call the rocky scraps of the factory of Italsider which was deposited there. After the twinning with the Russian city Yalta, the promenade was dedicated to the soviet town. Nowadays the promenade is dedicated to Sandro Pertini (a beloved ex-president of the Republic), but everybody still call it “Via Napoli” because it has always been the street that connected Pozzuoli with Naples.
