- NEAPLES CITY -

Naples was founded between the 7th and 6th centuries B.C. by the Greeks and was given the name Napoletano or Partenopeo ( son of the Mermaid )...

During the period of Roman Domination, the town preserved its Greek language and customs.

Following the Roman period, the city of Napoli was dominated by many different groups of people ( Byzantines - Lombards - Normans - Swabians - Angevins - Aragonese - Spaniards - Austrians - Bourbons and revolutionary French ).  Nowadays one can see the traces of all those rulers in the monuments, in the culture and in the habits of the town. In 1266 the Angevins moved the capital of the Kingdom of Sicily from Palermo to Naples.

Sicily soon parted and formed an independent Kingdom of Sicily. After the Congress of Vienna... Naples became the capital of the united Kingdom of Two Sicilies. After a long period of decline following the creation of the Italian State over 100 years ago, the city is making strides in recovering its eminence as a center for culture.
