On October 26, 2024, I was in Naples to speak at Linux Day 2024. I also had a few hours to see the city.<\/p>\n
It is a place unlike any other in Italy; it’s a semi-anarchic country of its own. “Math diplomas in 3 minutes, only in Naples” is an advert I saw there. Free entrepreneurship runs wild.<\/p>\n
Folks don’t follow the rules of the road at all. Everyone must pay attention to not be hit by a car or motorbike.<\/p>\n
Yet, thank god Italian legislation isn’t fully enforced there; Naples’ ways are the cultural heritage that gives the place its special vibes.<\/p>\n
I visited a (legit) clothing store, which however didn’t have any price tags. I negotiated a discount on an “already discounted price” (yeah, right), only to have the clerk ask me to pay the original price at the checkout. I reminded him about the negotiated discount, to have him reply “just kidding”. I would have stormed out of the store if this was not Naples.<\/p>\n
Neapolitans also really<\/i> care about their soccer team. One could even say they are religiously devoted to it.<\/p>\n
Oh, and they speak in their own tongue; not in Italian.<\/p>\n
Naples is Italy’s meme city.<\/p>\n
I love the country more than ever after having been to Naples.<\/p>\n
Italy is so beautifully diverse: Genoa<\/a>, Venice<\/a>, Florence<\/a>, and Naples are four key cities to see here.<\/p>\n",
