Hi, let us introduce ourselves: we are a group of twenty mothers living in the centre of Naples and we are attending a course of English language organized by our children's school.
We wish to be helpful to the several tourists crowding Naples in these years by giving them some suggestions about what to visit in this beautiful town.
There are lots of guides focused on adults' interests , but what about children? All of us know how it's hard travelling with children: visiting new places it's interesting and discovering them together with our chilren makes it even more pleasant.
But children soon get sick of museums and churches and a nice experience can turn into a nightmare if you aren't able to propose them amusing or diverting activities.
Our main aim is giving a hand to those tourists facing a journey with their little children by pointing out some attractions that can be interesting both for adults and children.
So, if you are interested in this topic, visit this blog in the next weeks: we are going to fill it with more and more information.

« THE BOTANICAL GARDEN | Città della Scienza ( th... » |
From the top of the Vomero hill, you can admire a magnificent view over the city, the gulf and the islands. A visit to the former Carthusian monastery will give you the opportunity to take a little rest from the mess of Naples city centre and enjoy some moments of peace in its gardens.
Built in the 14th century, the monastery was completely renovated in the 17th century by the ingenious architects Conforto and Fanzago who designed its present Neapolitan Baroque look. The church is rich in marble decoration and beautiful baroque pictures by Ribera, Stanzione and Luca Giordano.
If you want to get acquainted with Naples history and art between 17th and 19th centuries, you will find a visit to the museum inside the monastery very interesting. Even your children will appreciate many of the sections of the museum. They will certainly admire the models of royal ships in the naval section, garments , fans , jewels and snuff boxes , and above all they will be fascinated by the section containing the Neapolitan nativity scenes, the “presepi”. Here a remarkable collection of shepherds and nativity scenes is stored. The shepherds are the work by prestigious craftsmen from the 18th century Neapolitan school and are made with extreme accuracy of ceramic and of wood and dressed in fine embroidered clothes made of silk or wool. The most significant of these masterpieces is the Cuciniello Presepe, which is one of the most admired exhibits in the whole museum. Outside the Monastery you can taste a delicious ice-cream with your children while you admire the panorama by means of the telescopes placed on the esplanade or go window-shopping of the little jewelleries near the monastery, selling artworks by Neapolitan goldsmiths like cameos and coral jewels.
