Great report and photos! I visited Naples for the first time in the summer of '22 and want to return, because I was only there for a few hours. What a fascinating place! On the same trip I visited Pompeii for the second time, and I'll never go back there in the summer again, because of the crowds (yes, I know I was one of them!). The first time was in April of 2009, and there were far fewer visitors. Winter sounds like a great time to visit. I hope I'll get to see many more sections of the site than I did when I visited in 2022. I'd also like to see Herculanum and maybe Oplontis.
Thank you for this fabulous postcard and for sharing your photos of the whimsical putti! The putto waterskiing on the back of the crab made me laugh.
Thank you for reading!
what a marvelous and informative post, thank you. I especially like the explanations about the adorable putti!
Thank you!
