Book now to relive the emblematic places of the eternal bond between Maradona and the city of Naples!
The activity starts in Piazza Plebiscito, heart of the old town, then we will cross the majestic Galleria Umberto I and arrive at the famous “Quartieri Spagnoli” or Spanish Neighborhoods. The atmosphere here is typical of Naples, with its narrow alleys with clothes hanging from balconies, the bustle of vespas, markets and conversations between neighbors. Here you will understand how much the Neapolitans really loved Maradona.
He was a popular hero, the one who gave Naples the joy of the first “Scudetto” and who introduced this city to the international sports world. Everywhere you look it was a “Diego-mania”. Every corner of the city still bears witness to the passing of the “Pibe de Oro”.
Maradona was present in many places: from murals on the facades, to the fireworks called “il Pallone (the ball) di Maradona”, from all kinds of merchandising and souvenirs, to the cake, from poems dedicated to the idol, to the very same statuettes of the traditional Neapolitan Nativity Scene.
In Naples, thanks to the street art, you will be able to admire a real open-air museum dedicated to Maradona.
With this tour, you will also explore two of the must-go places for any Diego fan: Vico Lungo Gelso and Piazza Maradona in Via Emanuele De Deo. Here you will find spectacular murals dedicated to the soccer icon.
You will admire a ceramic mosaic, donated by two Italian-French artists, and the tribure of the Argentinian street artist San Spiga to the 30th anniversary of the first Napoli championship. Next to this is another piece of art that represents Maradona as he “dribbles”. Continuing with our walk through Via Emanuele de Deo (Piazzetta Diego Armando Maradona), you will admire the famous mural that has become a true pilgrimage landmark for fans commemorating the second championship of Naples in 1990.
We hope you fully enjoy this experience!
