The embarrassing artistic vitality of its inhabitants, the infinite beauty of its places and a historical narrative centuries of Naples are a unique city to the point where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, passing into the Gulf, he wrote: "From what you say, it is said, or picture all over Naples. And 'quite unique and very poetic in a way that the distant origins of a city like Naples, the oldest of Rome itself, coincide with the physical and cultural environment for which the city has been and continues to go famous in the world after almost thirty centuries from the foundation. The settlers came from the sea of \u200b\u200bCapri, their landing on the coast near Castel dell 'Ovo, the legend of Partenope, siren died of grief because it rejected by Ulysses seem grounds for a melody and are perennial under the eyes of all the colors of a contemporary as "gouache" timeless. In '500 Naples lives a busy season of art, culture, music, but it was also shaken by a profound renewal of the architectural heritage of the city. The administrative, economic and institutional were centered in Naples (the capital of the kingdom already 1266) under the rule of the Aragonese who entered the orbit of the main branch of the House of Habsburg, who then became ruler of Castile and Aragon, which, already in 1516 . This led to a wild immigration from the provinces poured into the capital of Campania a myriad of people in search of better living conditions. Thanks to a series of urban interventions (often questionable), the city expanded considerably even when Sebri unthinkable, for example in the villages. You get to touch the hill of Capodimonte (class areas) and the Riviera di Chiaia (middle-class neighborhoods). Not to mention the population explosion. A crowd of people thronged the city in mid-century had about 350,000 inhabitants, second only to Paris. E 'Giulio Cesare Capaccio the administrator that provides this data and reports that at the time to give an idea, there were about 50,000 inhabitants. Naples was to be discovered, especially if there crept in the gut of the many narrow "viuzzelle" which are intertwined, according to the scheme "ippodameo" on board, forming a dense network of roads endless. Among these streets happen. Sellers, sailors, artists all together on the stage nature of the road. Naples had a particularly prominent: the colors, the sounds, the original shapes of his life in Naples. The crowd was the first and greatest impression that you had in the city and with it, inevitably, the noise. Capaccio, flavor of the city bell, expressed it this way: "And the crowd noise and no man is more difficult than what I am going around to Naples." Humanism in the function of Naples in the Italian culture, and therefore European, took a force to promote and decisive importance. Academies, clubs, lounges I animated a constant debate. Many were the theater performances and a strong civil and religious patronage will remain and will be attracted artists to cry. The whole social aggregate Naples had been more strongly during the sixteenth century, the influence of English costume and fashion, or, rather, Castilian. Scenography aristocratic formalism English label, greetings and respect even in the titles or in the vocative, appearance and care of the prestige items that were entered in Neapolitan costume also at the popular level and leave large traces of itself. Immigration means, also, the advent of other traditions, mentality, behavior. Remained, However, active and characterizing some typical elements of the former Neapolitan tradition: the sounds, the grace, master of ceremonies. In this city for a full calendar of festive occasions, closely tied to religious events, the passing of time and seasons, the activities of agriculture. Attitude marked the feast of the Neapolitans therefore regrettable inclination, the critics argued. Still others said "the southern ardor, the thoughtlessness, forgetfulness of every care, to surrender to joy because it steals the soul Through all the pores of the body, and special privileges of the Neapolitan people" (E . Rocco). Also on Capaccio, in his paper entitled "The Forastiero" anticipates by two centuries the famous saying See Naples and then die and expressed himself in these terms: "it is not homo lust and who do not want to die there, it's all the world. " The incessant partying, shows the many citizens, many ceremonies, led the Viceroy Toledo to be led to take serious measures against certain types of events too sensational or indecent in this incredibly festive spirit of the Neapolitans. It was also to introduce him in Naples a few new game, as the "corrida de toros", which was so passionate. Forbade the music night, the "Ciambellarie" (Burlesque ceremonies to the detriment of widows who spent a second marriage) and other local festivals. Forbidden, the first viceroy Osuna, even serenades, considered a risk to the public peace. People celebrated in every possible way. In the last decades of the seventeenth century began to lose that sense of openness to the future and was no longer confident in projecting a future of even greater fortunes.
