I leave the train station Naples. Start the theater.

From first, I have to pull up all I can to the wall, toes and high heels on, a motor-tricycle because not only oncoming, but has also invaded the tiny sidewalk where I was. Addition, Neapolitan rogues, versed in the performing arts, know how to lead the viewer to the collective catharsis and you do happen to you, pillín poor apprentice, by inappropriate and uncivil in the eyes of all.

Like a movie Berlanga they were, choral scenes are happening.

No lack the typical lady leaning over the balcony decked that, a voz and grito, following is based on decibels to not know who, what, where or when.
The stray dogs seem to laugh at the passing of comic episodes.
The, simply, are happy to live here.

The World Upside Down, and they know. The Neapolitans are great actors and great operistas: when they speak all at once check as, underneath all that racket verbal, minimum bases underlying harmony and song. No wonder! Not far from Naples, and near Pompeii, was an ancient Greek city: Elea. From there they will come, in part, taste for tragedy; good, might be better to say, tragicomedy. A tragicomedy, at home in the Spanish, have managed to adopt your philosophy of life.

Knowing what happened to Achilles while chasing the turtle (that by successive divisions of space between them can never reach), our cousins ​​Neapolitan settle for what you can enjoy fishing now, not trusting to upcoming retirements.

    Hola Israel, a brief comment.

    In the eyes of the tourist and traveler, accustomed to the civilized order of their original, Naples is a great theater, a wonderful and monumental stage where actors act the role of life, tears and laughter fact, Silence and Noise, dell'Arranciarsi art.

    Let's be clear: nobody likes a world like Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Philip Kaufman, 1978).

    Naples is more than a chaotic and disorderly southern European city. It is the city of a thousand faces.
    There's Naples seaside neighborhood of Santa Lucia with its promenade, cafes and isthmus of land that enters the Mediterranean with the majestic Castel dell'Ovo, Romantic night witnessed encounters between lovers. Naples is the nostalgic Santa Lucia Luntana, song of Neapolitan immigrants.

    If you live the Naples really come to understand that this can be a spectator tragicomedy Mediterranean until you become involuntarily character random events (and forced) and meet with a noisy Piaggio APE that runs counter invading part of the sidewalk where you walking.

    Greetings

    I agree. I have not been lucky enough to live in Naples, but I have to say that the days I spent there was very well received. I have many stories to tell…
    I slept in the crater of a volcano (Pozzuoli), I was eating in the shade of a vine for at least four hours, I think I visited the ruins are the most entertaining of the world (Pompeii),… In order, historias que con el tiempo se vuelven un poco fábulas y poco tienen que ver con la vida «real».
    Greetings to you Tiziana.
