"ParteNopea e ParteDonna" - Guide to Naples
Structure of the guide
The "ParteNopea e ParteDonna" guide to Naples is related to recent traditions of interpreting cities through women's eyes, but more than that it is similar to that network of European cities such as Paris and some Turcan and Emilian cities which have begun to pay special attention to tour itineraries though the eyes of women.
The way this guide is strucured is completely original, different from any other. We have chosen not to provide a mapping, a description of those places on which women have left their mark, but to suggest itineraries that provide us with a different kind of knowledge of the most significant architectural and artistic legacy of the city.To the information provided by all the other guides to Naples, we have added the profiles of those women whose works and places have made them indispensible protagonists.
The "ParteNopea e ParteDonna" guide provides five tours through the historical centre and the Spanish quarters. The methodology we have used has simply been that of a walk though the town, looking at its sites from a different perspective, so that what is observed and natural curiosity allows the visitor to discover all possible traces of the influence of women. There has been no attempt, therefore, to be "thematic", to indicate themes of certain historical periods or categories of women, neither have we pre-selected those women who are believed to have been most influential.
With each itinerary there are: a detailed map of the places and the women associated with them; a description of the tour; historical information on architectural matters; brief biographies of women and references to other places of interest forming a "women's map" of the city.
