To discover the authentic culture of a country you have to visit the markets. The market I will take you to is in the greenery with a small church, very authentic. Part is outdoors and part is indoors. It is only open in the morning. You can find everything branded and at affordable prices, perfumes, shoes, sneakers, clothes, accessories, cosmetics, a vast range of food products, fruit, vegetables, all colored just like Naples; mozzarella, pizzas, taralli, cured meats, sweets, so you can immerse yourself in Neapolitan folklore among aromas and flavours. There we will buy what you like most, we will go home and together we will prepare what you have chosen. Then we will sit down at the table and taste what you have created.
