Hi from Naples

[fabriziofiorenzano]

Hello everybody,
My name is Fabrizio Fiorenzano (39 y.o.) from Naples. I'm half Sicilian because my moher was from Taormina.
Every year I go to Sicily to spend part of my vacations with my wife and, from this year, with my babe Samy.
I work in the computer department of the newspaper "Il Mattino".
Moreover I am a photojournalist and I love to take pictures wherever I go.
It's wonderful to know people from other nations and to stay in touch with them in order to exchange ideas and opinions.
I really hope to attend this forum with constancy.

p.s. I apologise if I do not write a perfect English, but I'm sure you will be comprehensive :o

Best hugs from Italy

Hi
I am moving to Naples in 11 days to teach English. I know this sounds silly but I have only been there once and I don't have a job just a few interviews. It's going to be a big adventure for me! Can you recommend any good cafes/bars?

Hi Anna ,I went to Naples a few times but it was 15 years ago hen I was working as an au pair in Rome ,and stayed in Naples with the family for a weekend ,so I didnt really get to see many bars while I was there .A good place to start to make connections with friends ,jobs etc would be a local bookshop .Usually most bookshops have a board where you can post messages ,get information about jobs and find people who are intersted in having english or italian lessons.Ive looked on the net and found an interesting site which you might find useful .Its caled "around Naples in English" and has some information on it about all kinds of things ,bars ,clubs ,cafes ,accomodation etc which you might find helpful .
When I lived in Rome ,I started a journal ("A foot in the boot") and I wrote it every day ,about all the things I did ,people I met and all the wonderful ,scary and incredible things that happend to me while I was living there .I wrote 7 volumes of this journal ,and now ,15 years later it gives me so much plesasure to be able to recall those days and remember so well one of the happiest times of my life .I am retuurning to Rome next week for 10 days and will be revisiting a lot of beautiful places and memories from my time there.I do hope you enjoy Naples Anna ,I m sure you will have a wonderful time and the experience will stay with you forever .Will you still come on the boards and let us know how you are getting on?.I'll be thinking of you .Enjoy your great adventure ,love and thoughts ,Jane x x

Dear Anna,
yes it sounds a bit silly only for the fact that many Neapolitans should learn Italian first. Their mother language! :-)
Where will you be based exactly in Naples ?
I don't know how to answer to your question about cafes and bars. It depends where you are.
Keep in mind that Naples is not a very safe city, but this is another topic.
A safe place where to drink or eat something good is "Vinarium" in via Cappella Vecchia (close to Piazza dei Martiri) and close to my newspaper :-)
There are many places where to go, but I want to be sure to tell you the safests!!!!

I don't know yet where I will be. I am going with a back pack, a few contacts, my qualifications and some courage. If it doesn't work out I might try Rome but I hope to stay in Naples. When I get there I will let you all know and ask some more questions. Fabrizio, I've just had a look at your website. Very impressive!

Ciao Fabrizio e benvenuto al forum

Non sono stato a Napoli, perché, come hai detto, non è un posto sicuro, che è una vergogna. Quando abbiamo fatto una vacanza a Ravello non potevamo andare a Napoli, benché io so che ci sono molti musei interessanti che avrei voluto visitare.

La nostra vacanza quell'anno era il migliore delle sette che abbiamo fatto in Italia. Io e Maggie, mia moglie, abbiamo amato moltissimi Ravello e i suoi giardini.

Mi piaciono molte canzoni napolitani; c'è un tristezza certa alle molte delle canzoni che mi piace, ma non posso spiegare perché. Forse mi piacciono semplicemente le canzoni tristi!

Frequento alcuni corsi della lingua italiana e l'insegnante è una napolitana e lei ha un gran amore per la sua città. Lei fa le lezioni molto divertente.

A presto

Peter
