The world-famous mural of Diego Armando Maradona in the Quartieri Spagnoli in Naples was originally painted in 1990 by the Neapolitan artist Mario Filardi, following SSC Napoli's second league title. Over the years, the work was damaged by weather influences and structural interventions. At the end of the 1990s, a window was even installed where Maradona's face was, severely disfiguring the portrait. In 2016, the mural was restored for the first time by local artist Salvatore Iodice, who stabilized the work and gave it new color. A year later, in 2017, the Argentine street artist Francisco Bosoletti was asked to specifically rework Maradona's face. Bosoletti redrew the face entirely, with more expression and realism, while the rest of the mural was preserved.

Via Toledo is one of the most important historical and commercial arteries of Naples, over 1 km long, connecting Piazza Dante to Piazza Trieste e Trento (near the Plebiscito). Created in 1536 by the viceroy Pedro de Toledo, it is today a pedestrian area famous for its shopping, noble palaces, and the "Toledo" metro station, considered among the most beautiful in Europe.

A vast collection of paintings spanning from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century. A must-see for anyone who appreciates sacred art and wants to discover the great Italian, Flemish, and Neapolitan painters. However, the museum's layout isn't always ideal: the labels for each work are often placed too low and printed in far too small a font, forcing visitors to get very close and bend down. Furthermore, the museum entrance isn't signposted; you have to guess where to go. Finally, we would have appreciated some wayfinding within the exhibition: there are so many rooms that it's easy to lose track of where you are and risk missing out on certain works.

The Porta San Gennaro (in English: Saint Januarius Gate) is the oldest gate in the city of Naples, already mentioned in documents dating back to 928, when fear of the Saracens, who had already destroyed the city of Taranto, had spread. It was the only access point for those coming from the north of the city. The name Porta San Gennaro comes from the name of the only road leading to the catacombs of the saint of the same name.
