The port of Naples was a strategic point for trade and the city was the cultural and religious center for all surrounding Italic populations being also the symbol of the Epicurean philosophy.

In the eighth century, A.D., it became an autonomous and independent duchy for about six hundred years, from the twelfth century onwards, was the capital of the Kingdom of Naples and later the Kingdom of the Two Sicily. Today it is a city with a European focus but still retains its historical and cultural heritage.
