Summary of Rick Steves's Rick Steves Snapshot Naples & the Amalfi Coast

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Naples is the capital of southern Italy, and it is a beautiful and chaotic city. It is a great place to visit if you like Italy as far south as Rome.

#2 Naples is an ideal day trip from Rome or Sorrento. Those who are not comfortable with chaotic cities should not spend the night in Naples.

#3 For three centuries, Naples was one of the world’s richest and most sophisticated cities. But when it was conquered by the Romans, the city never fully adopted the Latin language and Roman ways. It remained feudal and agricultural, with the church owning much of the land.

#4 The lack of a postwar economic recovery actually is a boon to tourists. It preserved an independent way of life that dates back centuries. Visitors today enjoy a rare sight: a city that has been continuously inhabited and self-sustaining for 2,500 years.
