The morning light hits Piazza del Plebiscito and the sea answers with a silver flash — your guide waits by the Palazzo Salerno, black hat tipped, ready to unravel Naples by foot. You move from the piazza into Quartieri Spagnoli, where alleys press close and laundry flaps like pennants across narrow sky. The city talks here: voices, scooters, the occasional bell from a distant church.
