29 NUVEMBER -7 IIECEMBER PURI 0F CALL - NAPIES, IIMY k A e 1 , 1 R e Inside the breakwater of Naples we are Med moored again. Naples surrounds us on a number of steep hills the principal ones being Vomero and Posillipo. Mt. Vesuvius to our right ominous and awesome completes the perimeter The area of Naples was colonized by the Greeks around 600 B C and was named Nea polis fnew cityj Other Greek colonies in the area were at Paestrum and Cuma and on the Island Ischia After the rule of the Roman Emperors Naples was over run repeatedly by invaders who pillaged and burned much of the city to ruins ln the 8th Century the Neapolitans threw off the yoke and built an independent govern ment This they enjoyed for three centuries but were again thrown 1nto convulsions of war and invasion The Saracens, Normans, Austrians, Ger- mans, French and Spanish all had their way with Naples and it is a wonder that anything of value was left. In 1861, after the military successes of Garibaldi Naples became a part of the United Kingdom of Italy and Victor Emanuel King of Sardinia was proclaimed King of Italy and for the first time Italy became a nation as we know it today We see vast numbers of poor undernour ished improperly clad semi desperate Neapol itans because Naples birth rate has outstripped her capacity to support The most unfortunates are not always seen on the streets as they live in caves along the sides of steep hills Those who have no homes at all drift from doorway to doorway pitiful wretches in rags
