From the Grand Tour to My Brilliant Friend: how Naples captured our imagination

From the Grand Tour to My Brilliant Friend: how Naples captured our imagination

Overlooking sparkling sea and overshadowed by Mount Vesuvius, the Italian city of Naples is a popular and evocative setting in popular culture. This series, also set in Naples, is inspired by author Roberto Saviano’s exposé of the local criminal organisation, the Camorra. The adaptation of these works follows the enormous commercial success of Ferrante’s and Saviano’s books within Italy and beyond.
