At the indicated time, we'll meet at Piazza del Gesù Nuovo and start walking through the historic center of Naples. Goblins, fairies, miracles, and numerous stories of Neapolitan pop culture will come to life on this complete route through the city.

In the lively historic center, we'll discover numerous stalls selling amulets. We'll reveal the identity of the munaciello and his supposed powers. We will also share information about the Bella Mbriana, a benevolent spirit who promotes harmony among families.

As we stroll, we'll visit the church of St. Patricia, where we can admire its baroque fountain and trees. We'll discuss the history of the saint before moving on to the cathedral of Naples.

While admiring the facade of the cathedral, we'll discuss San Gennaro, the patron saint of the city, and his remains, which are believed to predict disasters. We will cover this belief during our visit to his chapel.
