What a really fun concept. We purchased our tickets online but the scanner and code did not work. I…read moreshowed my email to the man at the register and he provided us with two tickets. No hassle. Two tickets will get you 3 special flavors and two obligatory flavors- Nutella (Nutella seems pretty big here?) and a milk chocolate. When you vote you get a 6th free sample. We then tested all 8 flavors. I was so fortunate to start at number two. Please see my photos for details. The chef(?), what do you call a gelato creator?, was so friendly. She explained the contest to me and then described her gelato. When I first read the description online o thought hers was going to be too much. Lots of ingredients, hazelnut, pistachio, chocolate, orange. But wow the Orange really pops with the gelato. Hands down my favorite. My number two slot goes to the parmesan and honey creation-- number 5. Who knew Parmesan cheese could taste so good with honey? Very unique these flavors really balance each other. Very nice and passionate gelato creator. Number three pick goes to number three gelato Fig and lemon. Well done. Unique. The lemon really stands out. There is a cooking demonstration where they will teach you how to make gelato and then provide you with samples. In Italian however. You can also watch them make gelato in a huge truck. The gelato fair is in Naples for 4 days then travels on. I highly suggest going if they are in your city. I'm glad we took the time out of our vacation to try this!

I LOVE it here. Its called Christmas Alley by the Americans. Its blocks and blocks of stores and…read morevendors selling all sorts of wonderful things. We first went in the fall and it was lively, but nothing like visiting in the middle of December! Italians come out in droves to pick out new additions to nativity scenes and trees. There are some touristy shops too but thats part of the fun. Lots of pride and workmanship go into these items and it is a beautiful thing to see. The tiniest details are so interesting to see. You can also grab snacks from many vendors along the tight winding streets. This is a must do thing if you come to Napoli!

This is a cute little street, leading right up to the main street in historic Napoli: the Via…read moreTribunali. This little gem here is filled with lots of shops. Most of them selling miniatures. Miniature figures, miniature buildings, fountains, waterfalls, animals. And everything you need for a native scene for christmas. It's looks just all so cute and amazing. I could image converting a whole room at home into a miniature setting. They got great stuff here. Besides these shops there are some souvenir shops and jewelry shops and street vendors. Quality is fine and prices are low. The street itself is a sight on its own right. Especially with the amazing tower in the middle. It's just a beautiful little street. Short, but surely a must-do.
