Grand Tour Naples, 1780
Naples in 1780 is the Bourbon capital where music, antiquities and volcanic spectacle draw foreign travellers and the city's own lazzaroni into the streets. The walk moves from the harbour and seafront through opera, royal palaces and the old Greek decumani, finishing at Capodimonte with a wide view of Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples.
36 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Naples as it stood in 1780 (“History of Naples”).
