If an Italian wedding dress has ever moved you, odds are it passed through here: Casalnuovo di Napoli is one of the country's hubs for ceremonial tailoring, with dozens of ateliers and workshops dressing weddings across half of Europe. A specialisation born of Neapolitan tailors' craft, grown into the town's identity.
The name tells the story: the "new hamlet" risen along the road to Puglia, gathered around Palazzo Lancellotti and the parish church of Santa Maria dell'Arco. Naples is fifteen minutes by train: a practical base at provincial prices.
