About this experience
Naples is one of those cities particularly attached to the pivotal icons that have created its identity. It never fails to praise the great Neapolitan figures of history, theater, culture, poetry and soccer who have made this city great like: Totò, Luciano De Crescenzo, Sofia Loren, Eduardo De Filippo, Bud Spencer etc
The Spanish Quarters bears witness to this unconditional love for this human cultural heritage by memorializing these icons with as many as 200 murals scattered in every corner of the neighborhood. But the Spanish Quarters, in particular, testify even more to the great importance of soccer in Naples and the timeless admiration and love for what has gone down in history as "the hero of Naples”: Diego Armando Maradona. Here it extends the large mural dedicated to him in the 1990 trophy victory. Today a historic testimony and renewed object of worship after the third and recent national victory.
A journey through the true Neapolitan soul to not loose.

Stop 1
We will start from Via Toledo, one of the main arteries of the city of Naples, and go up to the Spanish Quarters. The neighborhoods wanted and built in the 16th century by Spanish viceroy Don Pedro de Toledo, which has always been one of the pulsating and folkloric hearts of the city.
We will visit the approximately 200 murals that characterize this neighborhood. From those designed and linked to the project of Cyop&Kaf, two young street artists linked to the Neapolitan scenery, with bright and distinctive colors. To all those linked to our famous cultural icons: Totò, Luciano De Crescenzo, Eduardo De Filippo, Eleonora Pimentel Fonseca.
The "Veiled Isis" that recalls the sculptural group found in the San Severo Chapel and belongs to the genealogy of the Veiled Christ.

All the way to the large mural dedicated to Maradona plus all his minors in every corner of the neighborhood. Since winning the third national soccer trophy in May 2023, everything in Naples has been about the soccer team and even more about Maradona. Undisputed hero of the city since winning the first trophy in 1987.
