WHAT IS "BASSO NAPOLETANO" ? (Neapolitan traditional house) 🌶️🤘☕
,
- Posted by VISIT NAPLES AND AMALFI COAST TRAVEL TIPS
.
Some of the Neapolitan locals still live in small traditional houses called ‘bassi’ (vascio - neapolitan slang). The bassi consist of only one or two rooms, and they’re on the ground floor of a building, with one window and/or doorway that opens directly onto the street. In this way, if a basso is your home, the street is your living room, because for lack of light, air, and space your doors and windows are always open.
.
The street is where you drink your coffee, hang your washing, and do your crossword. All of your neighbours know what you’re watching on TV, what you’re having for dinner, what time you’re climbing into bed at night, and what time you’re getting up in the morning. The rhythm of life is on display in the bassi.
.
Some people stand, cut off at the waist behind their windows, while their friends settled into their plastic chairs on the other side, a plastic cup of wine in one hand.
.
Others bring their living room furniture onto the street beside their plastic pot plants, a brightly coloured pinwheel, and a rust-spotted frame containing a faded image of the Virgin, while dinner simmer away inside. The inside is "out" , private is public, there is no hiding in this world and you feel integrated , as part of their family
.
The ‘private’ domestic life is being clearly lived on the streets. You can even ask some of the locals if you can take a picture with them .They are more than happy to oblige ,They smile and wave for the photos and they ask you where you come from . They let you enter into their world..........
