Huge quarried caverns beneath the city were transformed into air raid shelters, and we take you racing down into the silent tunnels and caverns which sheltered thousands of Neapolitans from the allied bombings of WWII. See the fascinating and haunting artifacts that remain below ground to this day.
And come along for a more detailed look at the ancient underground Greek and Roman aqueducts that served Naples into the early 1900's as we "go with the flow" of these ancient waterways. Crawl through the honeycomb network of connecting feeder tunnels and cisterns hundreds of feet underground that provided the "water of life" for the growth and development of Naples over the centuries.
So let's go. Come along for a video visit to . . . Napoli Underground!

We really hope you enjoy our new Videos in English. It has been my pleasure as translator and retired Radio and TV broadcaster to also do the voice-over narration working with webmaster Fulvio and master speleo and videographer, Luca. If you find these interesting, please forward the links to your friends and join the Napoli Underground speleo family!
All the English language videos can be found HERE.
