“Naples has something antique, also in the experience of feelings or in the memory of Maradona as a Greek hero”

Naples – The words of AlbertAngela, TV presenter and journalist, on the city of Naples. The words reported by the Republic:

“His way of conveying the story is insightful, clear and fascinating,” say fans. Adults and youth in the room are fascinated by the historical reconstruction of the last emperor of the Julius Claudia dynasty, “gifted in singing and similar to the Joker on which too many fake news are built that we try to debunk, such as the order, to burn Rome,” says Angela, who devotes large pages to the relationship between Nero and Naples, for example with Pompeii and with “the wonderful villa in Oplontis by Poppea, one of his three wives”, then the project of the Pozzuoli-Rome shipping canal, to the finds related to Nero that are kept in the Mann, “for me the most beautiful museum,” comments Angela.One of the most intense moments in the story is the day-long concert, “basically a rave” that the Kaisersänger performed in the theater of ancient Neapolis, now integrated into the palaces of the historic center.” Nero chose Naples because he knew that here he would find the audience who could understand him – fer t Angela continued – He involved the claque of Naples-based Alexandrians, adepts at voicing assent with roars, rumbles, and noises of all kinds. The point, however, is that Naples was a Greek city, a bit decadent but super sophisticated: it’s no coincidence that it was the place Virgil and Philodemus chose as a good retreat. This world remained here: Nero perceived it, we perceive it. And it’s a way of life. It’s civilization.” These words recall the introduction: “Naples has something antique, also in experiencing feelings or in the memory of Maradona as a Greek hero. I always like to come to Naples for the warmth, the traditions and the beauty. But there’s more: all the social aspects of Naples date back to antiquity. Here is the Greek way of life that doesn’t exist anywhere else, behind everyday things there are three thousand years of civilization. Here I feel like I’m in a timeless world. And that makes me feel good .”
