1034 Code CAFU Naples Post Naples, the second city of Italy in size, occupies one of the most beautiful
situations in the world. It is on the slopes surrounding the lovely Bay of Naples. Across the Bay in the distance is Mt. Vesuvius from which clouds of smoke are generally to be seen arising. Naples, next to Genoa, is the most important Italian seaport, and many boats especially from North Africa are to be seen in its harbor. In our trip about the city we visit the Piazza San Ferdinando, which is a busy spot. Busses and tram-cars are everywhere. Then to the Ariago Building, the Church of San Francisco de Paola and the old Palace of the King of Naples when it was a separate kingdom.
The eastern part of the city is dark and squalid and unsanitary conditions prevail. After a brief glimpse we are glad to come out to the Piazza del Municipio with its cheerful sunlight and much gayer atmosphere.
