Title: Brilliant
Product review: This is not a travel guide or a book for light reading; it is a wonderfully in-depth historical view of Naples, Italy, from its inception as a Greek colony to modern times. There is no other book like it. The author has done a masterful job of bringing insight and understanding to a potentially dense topic, mixing humor and wit with explanations of each of the many dynasties and powers that controlled Naples and made it a royal center comparable to Paris and London. If one is interested in knowing more about the history of Southern Italy, this book makes an excellent companion to a book by Tommaso Astarita:Between Salt Water And Holy Water: A History Of Southern Italy
