🛎️ Omega Gloves ( Custom handmade gloves since 1923)
check out Omega Gloves (it doesn't look like a store but ring the bell and then go up the stairs to their workshop).
About Omega Gloves
Some cities are historically associated with some traditional craftsmanship and Naples is the glove capital of Italy.
The history of the glove makers begins in the oldest district of the city, “Sanità”. This art has been handed down for more than 2 centuries and had its better period under the Bourbon kingdom who gave power to local craftsmanship, thus making Naples the capital of fashion and elegance.
It was 1923, exactly one hundred years ago, when Gennaro Squillace founded the atelier.
Today Alberto manages the Omega Gloves and Martina the High Fashion division Squillace1923, by innovating the history of their family and respecting their five generations heritage.

🛎️ E. Marinella ( the most covetable silk ties in the world)
If you step inside E. Marinella, you’ll be enveloped by century-old excellence in tailoring in this “little corner of England” located along the chic Riviera di Chiaia. Famous for producing some of the most covetable silk ties in the world, E. Marinella’s designs have been worn by countless celebrities, politicians, and dapper gentlemen over the years. Although E. Marinella is celebrated for its menswear (including cashmere sweaters, patterned swimming trunks, and leather goods) it features a few accessories for women. These include silk scarves and the famed Neapolitan “chili-pepper” corna (or cornicello) good luck charm.

🛎️ Kiphy Saponi ( soapmaker in Naples since 2000 )
About Kiphy Saponi
Founded in 2000, Kiphy Saponi revisits the ancient art of soapmaking using modern techniques. Pian and Gennaro created Kiphy–the name of an ancient perfume from Egypt, where they produce soaps using a cold method that preserves the properties of the natural ingredients. The soaps are made using 100% biodegradable oils, like olive oil and coconut oil. They are also made using spices and flowers such as cinnamon, ginger, and fennel.

🛎️ Pasquale o' Nummararo ( the number man )
About Pasquale
is name is Pasquale De Stefano, but everyone knows him as Pasquale ‘o nummararo, “the number man.”
In this era of plotters and laser printers, De Stefano continues to hand-paint his signs, using ancient paintbrushes on wooden boards, which are then planted in the baskets of all Neapolitan fruit sellers. And even the wooden signposts are still cut by hand.
In 65 years of work he has by now created tens of thousands of signs advertising the prices of apples (€0.99) or peaches (3 kg for €2). They can be small or large, on canvas or on wood, promising a “special offer” or “great value.” Sometimes Pasquale’s signs will feature a more pointed message: “Whoever touches the fruit will be touched by the fruit seller,” is one that comes to mind.
Throughout the city, from the markets of Antignano to Forcella, from the markets of Sant’Antonio Abate to Pignasecca, the signs are all the same, all made by the same hand.
There are only two fonts: one big and fat (let’s call it “Napoli bold”) and one narrow and thin (“Pasquale narrow,” shall we say). And then there are just four colors: red for big price numerals; yellow for bright edges; black for small writing; blue because it always serves in a city coated with the color of Napoli football.
The last of eight brothers, all number men, the son of a number man, De Stefano is now the last guardian of very old knowledge that, after he’s gone, will be irretrievably lost. He has no children who have learned the art, no apprentices. After him … laser print!
Dozens of restaurants and pizzerias order signs to advertise their goods. All adore the naive graphics because they create an immediate connection to Neapolitan culture and recall to customers the quality and freshness of market products.
Even a publishing house, Nova Edizioni Culture, features De Stefano’s work on the covers of books related to the city of Naples.
But the number man is proudest of the signs that “won the first prize” during the celebrations of the Napoli football team’s first championship win. That was a historic moment for the city – May 10, 1987 – and Pasquale signs filled with funny phrases were all over the city.
De Stefano has a tiny shop, in a dark alley called Vico Finale, in the maze of little streets around the Market of Sant’Antonio Abate. But just ask a fruit seller: where is Pasquale ‘o nummararo? If he’s not around making deliveries he’s there to paint. He welcomes everyone with a smile. He turns off the stove he uses to quickly dry the paints and shows you the tools of the trade.
If he has time can make a nice sign for you, with your name. A souvenir of Naples light years away from the usual magnets.
But be careful: he must write a price per kilo! Then you must ask yourself a little philosophical question: “Do I have a price?” Forget it – better just to write a date.

Getting to the MARADONA Stadium + official on line ticket
🔴 Official On line ticket : https://www.ticketone.it/en/artist/ssc-napoli/
WHICH SECTION TO BUY :
✅ distinti superiore
✅ tribuna nisida superiore
✅ curva a superiore
✅ curva b superiore
⚫ Avoid upper guest stand (settore ospiti) , it is for away fan
Planning your visit to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona is an exciting part of the football experience. My clear advice is to take public transport! (train or metro, avoid the bus )
By following the tips and directions provided, you’ll ensure a smooth journey, allowing you to focus on enjoying the match-day atmosphere the Napoli fans can generate.
For those sports travelers arriving by train, the stadium is easily accessible from Napoli Centrale (train station Garibaldi), the city’s main train station.
RAIL TRANSPORT
🔴 Railways: get off at Napoli Campi Flegrei Station.
🔴 Cumana Train : get off at Mostra Station.
🔴 Metro Line 6: get off at Mostra Station.
🔴 Metro Line 2: direction Pozzuoli - get off at Campi Flegrei Station , which is a 5 minute walk from the stadium. This is how I usually get to the stadium. The journey is largely underground and takes about 20 minutes.
After the game it can be quite chaotic leaving the stadium and trying to get back onto public transport. Most people seem to queue to buy a ticket , better to buy in advance , so be prepared to wait around or maybe go and join the locals for post-match espresso!
WALKING
If you’re staying in a hotel near the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona walking might be your best option. The area around the stadium is vibrant, with plenty of cafes and shops to explore before the match. Just be careful of all the Napoli fans on their scooters!
