Naples

Good
The single straight street that splits old Naples — pizza, presepi and noise concentrated.
Strictly speaking a street (Via San Biagio dei Librai) running dead-straight through the centro storico, but used as a name for the surrounding warren. The most photographed slice of working-class Naples — Spanish Quarter spillover, scooter chaos, and the densest concentration of authentic pizzerie in Italy.
