Piazza Bellini

The Neapolitans are known to be a superstitious people. Beyond the clichés, the presence in the city of a large number of "magical" and profane rituals with which the Neapolitans drive away negative influences is undoubted. In this experience, through a short guided tour that will converge in a place in the center of Naples, you will get to know the world of Neapolitan superstition. A connoisseur of popular culture, also through stories and anecdotes, songs and nursery rhymes, will illustrate the ambiguous relationship that exists between the sacred and the profane in the Neapolitan capital.We will start from Piazza Bellini, to visit the most important places related to local superstition. We will discover the origin of some typical "charms", the relationship of the Neapolitans with death, the history and importance of the lottery game, the cunto of pezzentelle souls, the history of the newsstands, accompanied by a traditional lover and cantor who will will immerse you in the world of Neapolitan superstition.
