Rione Sanità and Fontanelle Cemetery guided tour

This experience takes you into the most authentic heart of Naples, far from the usual tourist routes. In the Rione Sanità, a neighbourhood rich in contrasts and identity, aristocratic history blends with everyday local life: among grand palaces and vibrant streets, every corner has a story to tell.

Along the way, you’ll discover masterpieces of Neapolitan Baroque such as the Palazzo dello Spagnolo and the Palazzo Sanfelice, iconic landmarks that have also appeared in classic Italian cinema. The experience is enriched by a sweet break, offering a taste of true Neapolitan tradition.

The most powerful moment comes with the visit to the Fontanelle Cemetery, an evocative ossuary carved into volcanic rock, where thousands of remains tell a unique story of connection between the living and the dead. Here, you’ll discover the ritual of the “Anime Pezzentelle,” a deeply rooted and fascinating tradition that continues to captivate visitors today.
