This 'quartiere" has the soul of Naples: Art! All the Presepios Stores and all the products are hand made, its an ancian arte of the Napolitan's people. you can also visit at the same area: Napoli Soterranea!

It is a really fun place to visit with children because they love looking at all the crib scenes. Lots of places to eat nearby and surrounded by amazing churches.

This is a little street that is filled with different kind of souvenirs, usually these are at non-negotiable prices unless you're buying a few pieces from the same store.

Liked: The amazing variety of Christmas and local souvenirs. Disliked: already in April "too many tourists". Recommend to visit in the early hours of the day.

I have always loved nativity scenes and handmade items. This neighborhood was a "must see" when I visited Naples and I was not disappointed. There are hundreds of shops located in this area, and every single shop has LOTS of items crammed into spaces. There are tons of items to look at and buy. The main things you will find... More

Great area to stay or visit...very central and shops full of lots of locally produced souvenirs if that's the kind of thing you like - personally I don't but clearly it has a market! Can access lots of different areas from here and buzzing with activity.

This street, also called "Christmas Alley," is a bustling little street filled with artisans making the Presepi (Manger scenes), made from real wood & plants found in the local area. They also sell porcelain masquerade masks & every little Christmas item you can imagine! Many stores sell hand-made, hand-painted tamburelli (tambourines) that make wonderful keepsakes & gifts! Some speak a... More

plenty of artisan working on the PRESEPI. Plus you get to find out "who is the lates CLOWN" among Italian famous people. People from Napoli are very funny and warm.

This is definitely a unique place of its kind. Stretching in the very heart of the ancient area of Naples, it welcomes visitors through its small and winding lanes where numberless craftsmen display and sell their artistic creations. Made of wood, porcelain, pottery, lots of metals and sometimes glass, you'll discover a world of well-known international and Italian figures of... More
