Napoli Bound

We're heading down to Napoli for the weekend - only 1 hr and 21 minutes from Roma on the high speed. It will be a few days of opera (Peter Grimes at San Carlo), museum visiting (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli)), sight seeing (Palazzo Reale and Herculaneum) and eating (Ciro a Santa Brigida if we can get got a reservation.)

And to celebrate, here (from Love Me Forever in 1937) is the great American soprano Grace Moore singing what is arguably the most famous Neapolitan song of all time: Funiculì, Funiculà.



I've been told that Miss Moore's Neapolitan dialect is pretty darned authentic, but not as authentic as the Linguine all'aragosta at Ciro's.

Buon weekend a tutti! a lunedi!
