I wonder how important Naples's local issues really are for a tech startup. Naples has a pretty bad reputation, but it's mainly about public services like waste collection, sanitation, water and infrastructure.
If I were starting a construction company or a restaurant there I might be concerned about mafia involvement, but as a tech company I worry more abut Italy's general bureaucracy and its broken legal system.
The somewhat baffling political situation doesn't exactly inspire confidence either (although I suppose I shouldn't be throwing stones from my UK glass house in that respect)
- DavidHm 8y agoOne of the reasons that Berlin is so popular is that everything works smoothly (everything is relative, of course), and it has a great, multicultural social life. Neither of these apply to Naples.
- inciampati 8y agoThe first applies for sure, but if you think Naples isn't multicultural and social then you haven't spent much time here or aren't paying attention to the faces and habits of people in the city. There are people from everywhere here, and lots of them. This city is hypersocial to the point that it exhausts visitors from places like Berlin and the states. Thousands of people gather together spontaneously any night of the week in the public spaces in the city center. You cannot walk two minutes without the chance of talking to someone.
