Naples (4): Sybaritic afternoon

The story so far: the theft of my Samsung Galaxy A14 (£219 from Argos.co.uk) threatened to ruin our holiday.  We had just two days in Naples and reporting to a police station was not on the itinerary.

But that visit proved brief, as well as instructive about Italian hospitality. 

At 1pm we headed for the museo archeologico nazionale, where we planned to have a quick lunch before immersing ourselves in Naples' ancient history.

Driving rain had driven many tourists inside.  The café was particularly popular.

The single waiter was doing his best to keep crowds at bay by ignoring those who had managed to find a seat, including us. This no-rush method, at least, allowed us to have a good rest.  

The caprese we ordered had had time to mature nicely between the kitchen and our table.  At 3 pm we secured a bill through the classic expedient of starting to walk out. We had a museum to visit.

Many of its collections come from nearby Pompeii.

The mosaic below dates from shortly before that fateful eruption of Mount Vesuvius: you can imagine the owners walking their pet, just as the lava engulfed them.

With time running short, we chose to focus our ethnographic investigations on the early Hellenic presence in Italy and the western Mediterranean.

I'd often wondered why the Greeks beat the Romans to the French Riviera.  And why the name "Neapolis" as opposed to, say, "Civitanova"?

The museo archeologico is enlightening on these questions.  Greek traders and adventurers began checking out the area in Homeric times.  When Ulysses took the long way home, he spent some time around Sicily – you may recall that he blinded some dim-witted giant there.

But Greeks did not make Italian spots their home until the 8th century BC.  As a panel made clear, this was not a settlement of conquest, but of desperation.

The golden Hellenistic age did not begin until three centuries later.  Around 750 BC, in fact, life for people from Sparta to Smyrna was wretched.

Many of those who left were forced to do so by their own communities.  "In some cases, they were even chosen by lot, so ensuring the survival of those who remained," the curators explain.

The first settlers landed near Naples.  Each new colony was founded by rejects from a specific place back home.  A nifty map shows the migration routes.

Thus I learned why, to this day, French pedants like to call people from Marseille "Phoceans": the initial settlers were from Phocaea in Asia Minor.

These far-flung outposts of Magna Graecia eventually prospered.  The artefacts on display testify to a considerable degree of sophistication.

One of the highlights is the "Farnese Hercules", a 10-foot statue dated around 220 BC.

It should come with a trigger warning for the benefit of American students: consider yourself warned.

I'm a sucker for vases and was mightily impressed by those found at Canosa, in Puglia.

The one below shows the Persian king Darius being told by a messenger riding Pegasus that his men have lost the battle at Marathon. 

It was found in a burial site described by the museum as "the most significant testimony to the enormous socioeconomic development of Canosa from the mid-fourth century BC".

I also learned about Sybaris, a colony in modern-day Calabria that thrived from the 7th century BC. 

This must be why Sybarites became a byword for self-indulgent luxury: their wealth would have attracted envy back in the motherland.

After our visit, we were in the mood for a bit of Sybaritism ourselves.  We had enjoyed the warm simplicity of the neighbourhood pizzeria where we had our first dinner.  But this evening, a touch of refinement seemed to be in order, not to mention wine.

After consulting TripAdvisor at length, I found a top-ranked eatery that accepted reservations on The Fork website.  Miraculously, a table was available for 8 pm: I clicked on "book".

We reached our destination after a 20-minute walk through a neighbourhood that was shabby even by Neapolitan standards (this Streetview grab actually flatters it).

The staff of the humble trattoria were nonplussed by the arrival of a smartly dressed couple flashing a reservation email (my wife still had her phone).  But hosting us was no problem: none of their four tables was occupied.

Pizzas were the only items on the menu.  Ours were perfectly acceptable - there is no such thing as bad pizza in Naples – so we smiled sweetly at our hosts.

We were especially thankful that, in this strangely wine-averse land, they were able to find a bottle of plonkish red for us.  We couldn't complain about the €25 bill, but we hardly felt like Sybarites.

We returned via the barren expanse of Piazza Garibaldi. The deserted metro station would be an ideal location for an apocalyptic thriller.

Getting off after two stops, we found the dark alleys of Centro Storico much more hospitable than they had seemed the night before.

Curious on your thoughts on 32/2, because he's never ever pinged my gaydar. He's such a typical European straight male it's painful. He's just a little too pretty and that enamors everyone around him..

My diagnosis on him has and always will be: European.
