San Giorgio a Cremano gave Naples and the world Massimo Troisi, born here in 1953: the town remembers him with a national comedy prize and an affectionate memory surfacing in murals and in the places of the "comedian of feelings". This is the Golden Mile: eighteenth-century Vesuvian villas — Villa Bruno above all, now a cultural venue — punctuate the urban fabric.
Vesuvius rises behind; in front, Naples is already one continuous city. San Giorgio is the cultured, working-class gate of the Vesuvian slope, two stops from Herculaneum's station.
