Rione Sanità: Walking Tour of Baroque, Street Art, and Food

Your tour will begin at Porta San Gennaro, the symbolic entrance point of the Rione Sanità. Entering the popular alleys, a treasure is revealed at every turn. From the murals dedicated to Totò and Maradona to the Baroque art of the squares and churches. You will have the chance to admire two of the main masterpieces of Neapolitan Baroque: Palazzo San Felice and Palazzo dello Spagnolo, 'twin architectures' emblematic of the district's decay and rebirth.
Your tour expert will show you a symbol of the community, and then the beauty of the churches and the laundry hung out to dry, the colors of the buildings and murals, and the typical flavors of Naples. But above all, a story of rebirth.
You will learn about the struggle of the social cooperative to regenerate the whole neighborhood. The desire for rebirth is everywhere: from the street art and books in the alley of culture to the sculpture of the "Veiled Son" in the Basilica of San Severo, to the fabulous Nativity scene in the Basilica of Santa Maria alla Sanità, a symbol of hope and universal integration.
Along the way, there will be a stop to taste the typical "fried pizza" as only locals do it and the famous 'fiocco di neve' in one of the most renowned pastry shops in Naples, accompanied by a real Neapolitan coffee.
