Synopsis

Excerpt from Italian Lanes and Highroads

Naples is divided into two parts by the heights of Sant' Elmo, a promontory, so to speak, of the sur rounding hills, which juts out almost to the sea and separates the old eastern portion from the newer western section. The former contains the quarters of the countless crowded but picturesque poor, while the latter is occupied by the fine hotels and shops and the great park of the Villa onale. The difi'er ence between East and West is, in general, similar to that with which we are familiar in London and New York, except that there is here no clearly defined line of demarcation. In no other city are the slums and the fine residences so inextricably mingled, in the same quarter, on the same street, sometimes even in! The same vast building.
