Naples is the capital of Campania and is the most important city of the whole italian south.

Neaples is also a city abounded in history and traditions how it's demonstrated by museums, churchs, monuments an theatres. Naples is the city where born great artists like Totò, Edoardo de Filippo and Massimo Troisi, who have signed not only neapolitan but also italian theatre and cinema.
The most important theatre in Naples, San Carlo theatre, was built for king Charles' birthday in 1737 and actually is one of the most largest operas in Italy.
It was bombed in 1943 and it has been rebuilt several times. San Carlo theatre is located at the very centre of the city, near Piazza Trieste e Trento and Piazza Plebiscito, that is the principal square of the city and one of the most spectacular one of the world. Here you will find:
- the royal palace, the residence of the Bourbon kings of Naples.

Opposite San Carlo Theatre there is one of the four entry of Galleria Umberto, a great glass-roofed arcade inaugureted in 1890 with the name of Umberto I, who was the king of Italy between 1878 and 1900, when he was killed by the hands of an assassin.
The Gallery was built to stimulate commerce and to be a symbol of a city reborn.
