A View from the Top

Today I took one of Naples’ funicular tramcars up to the Piazza Fugo. There are several of them in the city. From there I walked to the Castello St Elmo, which was closed today. Still, nearby there was the small piazza St Martin, named after the church there. The piazza provided a beautiful panorama of the city, even though it was pretty cloudy. Vesuvius loomed. It looked so close. Millions live within range of that infamous volcano’s wrath.
