As someone born and raised in the scenarios this goofy author is trying to describe, I can only say that I find this kind of romanced narrations of criminal activities laughable at best. All I read about are stereotypes and very debatable commentaries of facts they're not even fully informed on.

- lnxg33k1 2y agoAs someone who was born and raised in Naples, I can see where the author is coming from, probably he met some guy from Naples, and after reading some news he asked about life in Naples, and the guy just depicted it exagerating, if I can say something about my fellow neapolitans, is that they're very showmen when it comes to describe simple things
- 0xCAP 2y agoThen the author is doing this in bad faith. You don't simply call yourself a journalist, then proceed to write about a city you have no relation to, using hearsay as your primary source of truth. This is stuff that happens all over the world, it's just - as you correctly pointed out - that Naples, often because of the way Neapolitans themselves narrate it, is depicted as the one of the wildest cities in Europe, if not the entire World. The reality is simply that it's not that bad, and it's probably more chaotic, but yet safer than, say, Milan. Yes there are still gangs trying to fight for neighbourhoods, but they're becoming a parody of themselves, and, while this makes them somehow more dangerous from time to time, I still feel way safer in Napoli's Forcella than right in front of the Duomo in Milan.
