What is it? It 'a new project of the Municipality and the Department of Culture to promote the work of street artists in the pre-Christmas atmosphere and create a lively and animated every Friday in that period.

An idea born with the vision, an association that organized the Naples Strite Festival (the largest Italian festival for the arts in the street), to create a more pleasant and liveable areas affected by the restriction of movement and at the same time give opportunity to the many street artists to perform freely and engage citizens in time of celebration and sharing before Christmas.

The places that are populated by artists will then be those of the commercial and historical center of Vomero where there will be a parade to celebrate the Via Scarlatti last day of this event.

The dates of these performances are as follows:

     Nov. 11 (Largo S. Giovanni Maggiore Pignatelli, new benches, Piazza Santa Maria La Nova)
     Nov. 18 (Duomo, Piazza San Domenico Maggiore)
     Nov. 25 (via Toledo, piazza Dante)
