Dear Marlena, this is so evocative - poetic even. I feel transported to Naples.

Oh Orlando, I wish you had arrived and I could have included you! We were not yet the fantastic four, we were getting ready for your arrival to become this! i think it happened at the breakfast buffet, or at least when we visited the buffalo! xoxoxoxo

I lived in Naples (well, the suburbs) for three years and that's the only pizza I eat. I don't like pizza generally, even New York pizza (I live in NYC now), but Neapolitan pizza has a special place in my heart. I used to get mine, quattro formaggi, from a place in Gricignano di Aversa, a short drive from the US Navy base there. I have never been able to find pizza like it outside of Naples.

Spoken like a true Napoletana! I also only eat pizza in Naples, whenever I try otherwise I am soooo disappointed! And I keep discovering new pizzerie, each one better than the last and it is truly amazing. Xoxoxox m

Fabulous. But of course. It is never anything less. But tell me, carissima, is Naples crowded the way I hear every other town in Italy is crowded--with tourists, Italian and otherwise? Uncomfortably so?

its crowded, but the football has been crazy fabulous wonderful, and to be honest, Naples is ALWAYS crowded, so to be honest, I didn't think it was any more crowded than usual. I thought it was, in fact, the most magical it has ever been.
