Not far from the historic center of Naples is one of the most fascinating places in the city, it is the Fontanelle Cemetery. The cemetery was built inside an ancient tuff quarry when in 1656, because of the Plague, the bones of a large part of the Neapolitan population were thrown away, which could not resist the serious epidemic. Over the years many others were added, leading to the birth of the cult of "pezzentelle souls", to whom the people turned to obtain graces and interecessions. To accompany you there will be a guide who will tell you the legends that hover around the characters guarded in the cave. After this mystical experience you can take a walk to the Sanità district, whose name derives from the ancient belief that the area was rich in natural and supernatural "salubritas". You will walk through the crowded alleys of the neighborhood and staying in contact with the Neapolitan people, going to the discovery of one of the most beautiful and hidden corners of the city.

As a travel agent, I've been on many, many tours, and I'm typically hard to please -- But Raphael Tours did an outstanding job for my family of six, especially my 80-plus year old in-laws -- the driver was patient, knowledgeable and efficient, and the private guide through the ruins of Pompeii was truly outstanding -- not only incredibly knowledgeable but also very entertaining -- this was a great day for all of us and we are very appreciative of Raphael's efforts for us.

The Mater Dei district houses one of the city's jewels of the city, the Fontanelle Cemetery, which was carved out of a natural tufa cave just outside the walls of the Greco-Roman city. The cave was used as a cemetery when in 1656 a severe plague raged in the city making numerous victims, and the bodies continued to be stored during other epidemics during the following centuries. During the last century the bones preserved here have been the subject of a widespread rite among the Neapolitan people, that of the "pezzentelle souls" (poor souls). People adopted a skull of which they did not know the story and took care of it, hoping that this could help him with graces and intercessions and that, in a dream, reveal his story to him. The guide will tell you in detail this tradition and why the Neapolitan people is so fond of this place, as well as the legends that hide behind some of the skulls preserved here. The Sanità district offers much more with its baroque churches and buildings.

Naples is wrapped... while its food and scenery command devotion, the city’s skulls and castles offer a glimpse into its violent past. Napoli, is an occult city, full of magic. A city where the mystery is hidden behind the art. A city where legends of ghosts still survive among seventeenth-century palaces.Naples is a city founded by a myth coming from far East. A city where the cult of Isis was the center of esoteric life. Walking through narrow streets, we will visit the historic sites of mysterious Naples.Sacred and profane, this is the Naples city with two faces, like Janus (juanuario - Gennaro).

Raffaele led us through four ancient spiced wine recipes derived from archaeology and his own research. We all spiced our wines at home with ingredients he’d suggested in advance. I learned a lot about the history of wine, Rome and chemistry. Great fun for a virtual experience!

Il Complesso, di fondazione angioina (1279), racchiude nelle sue mura dalla storia plurisecolare, un vero scrigno di storia, di arte e di religiosità. Comprende il bellissimo Chiostro di S. Giacomo, con la Tomba di Matteo Ferrillo ed il mistero di Vlad III di Valacchia, la grande Cappella di S. Giacomo con la mostra sul presepe napoletano, la maestosa Chiesa barocca di S. Maria La Nova, l’Antico Refettorio con l’affresco “La salita al Calvario” attribuito al Bramantino. Dalla metà del 2014, alcuni studiosi hanno individuato nella Chiesa di Santa Maria La nova, la presunta tomba di Vladd III, destando la curiosità degli epigrafisti sul mistero che gravita attorno alla Cappella Turbolo. Un ricco simbolismo esoterico ed alchemico rendono questo luogo ancora più leggendario: le strane iscrizioni a parete in una lingua incomprensibile, tradotte consultando una serie di codici, hanno fornito la chiave di lettura per presumere che nella chiesa, sia celata la tomba del Conte Dracula…

I have enjoyed several tours with Raffaele. All have been extremely informative and he has pointed out things that would have not been noticed without him. Additionally, his command of history helps make what we see understandable in context.
