A morning in Naples begins with the city pulling itself together around Piazza Dante — vendors arranging trays of sfogliatelle, scooters threading narrow alleys, and the sea’s salt lineable on the breeze from the Lungomare. A private walking tour with an American–Italian local guide moves at a conversational pace, the guide pointing out a faded plaque, a carved portal, or the precise oven where modern pizza was born.
