Behind Naples' glossy facade of aristocratic heritage and cosmopolitan culture lies a city plagued by criminality and a dwindling economy. Heavily reliant on tourism, the locals are feeling the strain.
Mayor Luigi de Magistris is convinced that Naples "is one of the most beautiful cities in the world", yet his authority barely stretches the length of the city. Instead the Neapolitan mafia, the Camorra, is running the numerous ghettos as a state within a state. In many areas, "protection money not taxes is the motto". In a downward spiral, many fear that it will deter much-needed visitors. "Naples survives largely on tourism". Now the locals are pulling together and doing everything they can to preserve their fragile economy; from rubbish collectors, to artists, to politicians and the aristocracy. "Naples will show its beauty to the world again. We are working on it".

Apr 6, 2012 - Someone who speaks like that seems like the typical American who is so scared to leave his country and only just go on vacation within it cause the rest of the world is bad, is not worth to see. Problems are everywhere, I'm sure also in Naples Florida, which I bet not so many people know even the existence of...

Feb 5, 2012 - Right even tho being whit is suppose to be great. I am not racist but I would that being tan or darker skinned is what everyone is trying to go for although, its suppose to be "bad" to be of a darker complexion. I do not understand why ppl on here say degrading stuff also. What's the point? Its just making you look bad.

Nov 19, 2011 - Journeyman Pics, at 2.40 Barracco all of a sudden is the woman's first name when only seconds before it was clearly said it was the family's surname & her husband's name was even shown on screen? Naples's a wonderful city, unfortunately plagued by the local Mafia (the Camorra) & many other problems, but I find the statement that it's a cosmopolitan city somewhat ludicrous... English's the world's most spoken language & not ONE of those interviewed could speak a word of it, not even Bud Spencer!

Nov 4, 2011 - Naples, Florida> Naples, Italy

Oct 29, 2011 - Why do people say such degrading things on here?I don't see anything in this video that I haven't heard of in USA...as far as being tan that is beautiful ...most people pay in usa for tanning products :D
cannoir Says:
Oct 29, 2011 - Italy could never manage a single crisis. this right here is just the tip of the iceberg. Uncle Mussolini pardon me , Bernasconi manages the country like a village mayor

Oct 22, 2011 - that's why you go to Capri.

Oct 20, 2011 - Its a shame that a beautiful city with a rich and unique culture resorts to violence in order to survive. I am URuguayan-Italian and I feel ashamed.
