Catacombs of San Gennaro

2 Via Lucio Amelio, Municipalità 3, Naples, 80131, Italy

Via San Gregorio Armeno, 80138 Naples
Every December, this narrow street becomes one of the most densely packed places in Italy, but the artisans who work here operate year-round, hunched over workbenches carving, painting, and assembling the elaborate nativity scenes — presepi — that Neapolitans take more seriously than almost anything else.
