The city of Naples has the largest historical center in Europe, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995. Through 27 centuries of history it has preserved an extraordinary stratification that - starting from the ancient Greek road route - is expressed in an impressive artistic, monumental and cultural heritage.

 

The Historic Center of Naples, a vast area populated by an authentic humanity and repository of ancient popular traditions, is also the place where the oldest forms of processing have developed, giving rise over the centuries to extraordinary craft traditions that have been handed down for generations and that today, however, they risk disappearing.

 

The artisan workshops preserve a wealth of skills and values ​​that represents the roots of the strength of that Made in Italy that today more than ever must be recovered, safeguarded and passed on to younger generations.
