Why Go
The street follows the line of a road laid out by the Greeks of Neapolis 2,500 years ago, and seen from above it seems to cut the city in two. Along it and parallel Via dei Tribunali are churches of every age, palaces, shrines and pizzerias.
On Via San Gregorio Armeno, workshops make carved and painted nativity figures all year round, from shepherds to footballers and politicians.
