Restaurant "Donna Luisella", Piazzetta Marinari 3
The "Donna Luisella" restaurant is located in the fantastic Borgo Marinari, which is located in an entrance on via Caracciolo, which leads to Castel dell'Ovo, and it is one of the most beautiful locations in Naples. As you will see by walking along the streets of this area, you will suddenly enter a magical world, full of lights and sweet flavours. It represents the old fishermen's marina of Santa Lucia area and is located on the old islet of Megaride, a beautiful zone preserved and protected by the castle. Here everything is wrapped in a special atmosphere, far from the frenetic rhythm of the city and where it seems that time has stopped. During the night everything is even more evocative and it seems like you are not in the center of Naples. There is the sea all around and the narrow streets of the village are bustling with people coming in and out of bars and restaurants. What is especially striking is the number of rooms in a small space. In the past it was possible to find famous Neapolitan people, such as: Totò, Sofia Loren and many others sitting at the tables.
We have provided a fixed menù at the cost of 50 € per person. Please click at this link for see the menù.
We have decided to choose this place to welcome you for the social dinner to provide a unique experience in Naples. The atmosphere will be even more colorful and bright as you can admire the sea, lots of lights for Christmas decorations and above all Neapolitan cuisine with a good fish menù.
Below we show sme impression of the place we will go. We do not spoil to much place, because you must discover by yourself...

Museums of Physics
On the 20th of December, we will organize a guided tour at the Physics Museum starting at 15:00 and finishing at 16:00, which is free of cost, and it is located within the University of Napoli (Via Mezzocannone 8). For further information, you can visit the following website.
We have the great opportunity to have as our personal guide Dr. Rosanna Del Monte, the Director of the Museum of Physics. She will lead us through the Museum of Physics, rich of several different experiences and ancient and unqie pieces in the world. She will also show us interesting and historical parts of the Museum, which are normally not allowed to all visitors. In other words, she will offer us an exclusive experience among history, physics, and art.
The Museum of Physics preserves the precious heritage constituted by the physical instruments of the king Federico II. For a long time it was kept in the Physics Cabinet of the University of Naples, established by Gioacchino Murat with the Royal Decree of 1811.
Subsequently the instruments were preserved in the Physics Institute until 2000, the date of the Museum establishment and the assignment of the premises of the Refectory of the Collegio Massimo dei Jesuiti, designed around 1680 by Dionisio Lazzari, an important exponent of Neapolitan Baroque.
In the prestigious rooms of the Physics Museum the original 17th century stuccos and the outlines of the piperno doors are preserved, they have been furnished with 19th century display cases and valuable walnut root furniture. The magnificent altarpiece depicting the Circumcision of Jesus was placed in the large hall of the Refectory, commissioned from the Sienese painter Marco Pino da Siena by the Jesuit fathers for the College church. The exhibition area of approximately 640 m2 is divided into a spacious entrance which gives access to three large rooms in which artefacts are displayed, documenting the development of Physics in the Kingdom of Naples and often linked to the historical-political events of the city of Naples.
We show just some impressions of the Museum, without spoilering too much its content, that deserves to be discovered in person...
Museums and Historical monuments to visit
Museums and Historical monuments to visit
Napoli is an "open-air museum" as you can discover walking along the city center. There are several cultural activities you can live. We suggest you just some of them. However, if you are interested in other places to visit, we will give you more details.
It is already nice to walk through the alleys of the historical centre, where you can see rests of Greek-Roman empire, statues, buildings of different epochs, and wonderful churches. In addition, you can breath the dynamics of the city, smell the good porfums of different foods, and live the Chrstimas period. Another choice could be to relax walking along the see, full of romantic restaurants and bars. Below, we show you some images of these two places.

San Gregorio Armeno
San Gregorio Armeno
Via San Gregorio Armeno is a street in the historic center of Napoli, famous for tourism regarding its artisan nativity scene workshops (presepe). It has a typical Greek urban architecture, which characterizes the entire ancient center of Napoli. The nativity scene tradition of San Gregorio Armeno has a remote origin. Along this street during the classical times there was a temple dedicated to Ceres, to which citizens offered small terracotta figurines, made in nearby workshops, as votive offerings. The birth of the Neapolitan nativity scene is naturally much later and dates back to the end of the XVIII century. Today, it is known throughout the world as the exhibition center of the artisan workshops, which now make figurines for nativity scenes both traditional and original. The actual exhibitions begin in the period around the Christmas holidays, usually from the beginning of November to January 6th.
