Antonio Christian Pagano Zottola How to reach us: LOCATION: The meeting venue is the prestigious Church Croce di Lucca, property of the Second University of Naples, fully equipped to hold meetings of international relevance Church Croce di Lucca * Croce di Lucca. The unusual name refers to the Cross of Lucca, a particular crucifix in the Cathedral of Lucca, the town in Tuscany. The Carmelites in Naples venerated that object and dedicated the church and monastery to it. It has nothing to do with Luke the Evangelist ('Luca' in Italian). From the central station: By public transport: from Piazza Garibaldi use the local line Anm 47 or use the subway line 2 to exit at Piazza Garibaldi and Piazza Cavour. Walk towards the National Museum, turn left on Via S. Maria of Constantinople and then left again to go up the alley Luigi de Crecchio.

Its narrow alleyways lead to mysterious churches, catacombs and underground caves. Until today, Naples old folk culture reveals itself to the visitor among craftspeople, fluttering laundry and shouting fish sellers.The historic city is characterized by many churches. You often find several of them in one street among Baroque style palaces of aristocratic families and antique residences. Naples’ most important church is the San Gennaro (St. Januarius) Cathedral, where each year the famous Miracle Blood ceremony takes place. The Gothic churches, San Lorenzo Maggiore and San Domenico Maggiore, as well as the Baroque church, Gesù Nuovo, are worth a visit. The San Severo Chapel is fascinating because of its mysterious anatomic machines, two skeletons that are inexplicably covered with a system of fossil veins and arteries. In addition, you can see beautiful Baroque sculptures from the 17th and 18th century. A wonderful place to take a rest is the garden of the Santa Chiara Convent with its columns, little benches, and walls that are wainscoted with beautiful colorful majolica. Vis-­‐à-­‐vis on Via San Sebastiano, you can find music stores that, because of their vicinity to the conservatory, still sell mandolins. Nearby is the street of the booksellers, Port’ Alba, where you can buy delicious pizza at the street counter of the pizzeria of the same name and eat it right away.A trip to Naples’s underworld is an exciting experience: Under the city, which stands on tufa, is a labyrinth of caves some 80 km long. The gate to the underworld is tucked away at the Piazza San Gaetano. The guided tours take 1.5 hours. The historic city offers numerous places to do some shopping, above all, for crafts, antiques, and souvenirs. You should definitely visit the Via San Gregorio Armeno, the famous street of the nativity scene makers (neapolitan cribs, in italian presepe napoletano). During Christmas time, more than half a million tourists come to see the shops with the original miniature figurines. However, they are open all year round and you can take your time and have a look around after New Year’s.
