The scooter growl cuts through the city like a local accent—quick, familiar, impossible to miss. You peel away from Via Toledo with a guide at the wheel, an orderly string of Vespas threading between palazzo facades and sun-flecked piazzas. The sea is never far: it keeps pace to your right, daring you to look, to slow, to take the longer way. By the time you hit Via Posillipo the city has unfolded—dots of Capri on the horizon, Vesuvius hulking like an old neighbor, and terraces stacked with the kinds of villas Romans once claimed for themselves.
