🔦 Naples has a secret... and it's 40 meters below your feet! 🤫

Forget the sun and the sea for a moment. There is an "upside-down" Naples, carved into the yellow tuff stone, hiding 2,400 years of incredible history. Welcome to Napoli Sotterranea (Naples Underground)!

🏛️ THE DARK MYSTERY

⛏️ A City Born from Itself: The Greeks began digging here in the 4th century BC to extract the stone needed to build the city walls above. Essentially, Naples was built by scratching out its own foundations, creating a massive "negative" city underground.

🕯️ The World War II Shelter: When the air-raid sirens screamed, thousands of Neapolitans ran down these 136 steps. Down here, amidst the humidity and darkness, life continued while bombs destroyed the surface. You can still see toys, rusty bikes, and graffiti left behind by fearful families.

👻 The Legend of the "Monaciello": This is where history turns into a ghost story. The underground aqueducts were maintained by the pozzari, agile workers who climbed through the narrow water channels wearing hooded cloaks to protect themselves from the dampness.

💧 The Midnight Visitor: Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and seeing a small, hooded silhouette climbing out of your water well! To the locals, they looked like little monks (Monaciello). If the homeowner didn't pay them for cleaning the well... the pozzaro would take revenge. Objects would break, food would disappear, or strange noises would haunt the house. But if the pozzaro liked the family (or the lady of the house!), he might leave silver coins behind. Is it a ghost or just a clever worker? The mystery remains!

🤯 THE SHOCKING ANECDOTE

🛏️ Imagine walking into a typical Neapolitan ground-floor apartment (basso), moving a bed aside...

🎭 ...and finding a private entrance to a massive Roman Theatre where Emperor Nero once performed. No, it's not a movie, it's the pure truth hidden beneath the bedrooms of Naples!
