Arzano

Province: Naples · Region: Campania · Population: 34,933 · Postal code: 80022

Arzano is one of the historic hamlets of the plain north of Naples, cited in medieval documents and grown through the twentieth century until it merged with the city: the parish church of Sant'Agrippino, whose patron feast falls in November, keeps its oldest identity. The fabric is dense, working-class, with a manufacturing tradition spanning footwear and coffee.

Position is its card: central Naples, Capodichino airport and the ring roads are minutes away, and the area's tables — pizzerias and fry shops — charge prices the centre has forgotten. Everyday Naples, unfiltered.
