When Antoinette Carone and her husband hatched a plan to relocate to Naples, Italy, they had no inkling that every trip to the market would be a sojourn dating back as far as 2500 years. Now, she shares their remarkable experience roaming the streets of Naples and beyond on trail of history as colorful as it is far-reaching. From the famous tableau of time standing still in Pompeii to vestiges of Napoleon's brief tenure in town, Ciao, Napoli: A Scrapbook of Wandering in Naples is a delightful trip that is ideal reading for anyone who loves a voyage, on land, on sea, or over long stretches of time. With evocative descriptions and photographs, the travelogue charts the couple's gradual immersion in the culture, and how they became utterly swept up in the layers of history that can be found on every corner or on any venture outside the city proper. Exploring traces of earlier times, she surmises that many things may have roosted in the fabled city, but few ever really leave. Similarly, the author finds her own time there indelibly etched in her mind's eye, and now enthusiastically shares her sense of discovery of Naples, then and now.
