'? APLES, ITALY o UR LAST POR T . T ,311iss?i3'3l3iiiLLilgl.Lg,iggffti4 f 11, 446: m I ! , With a population of more than two million people, Naples is seated along the north shores of the Bay of Naples. Commercially and cultur- ally the center of the country, Naples is built on the site of a Rhodian outpost established in the 7th century B.C. by the Greek colony of Cumae. Naples was ruled by it's own dukes from 736 - 1139. It was later merged into the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. In 1861 Naples became the last part of the United Kingdom of Italy after the last Bourban King was defeated by Guiseppe Garibaldi in 1860. The city became the site of the Fascist party congress prior to Musso1ini's March to Rome, causing Italy to suffer much damage in World War II, followed by a take-over by allies on October 1, 1943. l 1 1
