New Year’s In Naples, It Was A Riot!

A Neapolitan New Year’s!
A crazy fun time!
I didn’t think Naples had any celebration worth staying for until I saw it for myself. In Piazza Plebiscito they had a concert celebration with an Italian hip hop artist and great performances. When we arrived into the square I was uncertain what the night would turn out like. At 11:30 the square was a quarter full and it seemed as if there was going to be nobody in the square at countdown. But, within the time of 20 minutes the large square was completely packed just in time. Following the countdown there were performances with people gravitating inside sphere balls, fire dancing on floats, dancers dressed up in elevated stilts, and performers/singers flying on drawcords connect between the buildings. Additionally, there were surprising little celebrations within the crowds of people with champagne flying all over and random fireworks exploding sometimes at right behind your leg.
Welcome to my site and I hope you enjoy it. When I first travelled to Europe while I was in college I really had the time of my life seeing the many different types of cultures. The flavors of the food, the welcome of the people, the love shared across the world was so much greater than living in the United States ...
