On Sunday, May 28, NarteA inaugurates a program dedicated to children, with the project “Little explorers discover…”.
Four stops to discover four of the most representative historical-cultural sites of Naples. The first event, “Piccoli in Grand Tour”, is scheduled at Campi Fregrei, meeting at 11.00:1 at the entrance of Rione Terra (Str. Duomo, XNUMX, Pozzuoli), to go and discover the mysterious Campi Ardenti – from the ancient village of Rione Terra, up to the famous Macellum, known as the Temple of Serapis.
Children will become real explorers, getting to know the places through direct reconnaissance and taking note of the results in a small booklet with recreational activities, in which they can report on what they have learned, having fun, imagining, going beyond the boundaries of what is already known. To participate, reservations are required at the numbers 339.7020849 – 333.3152415. The cost of the ticket is 15 euros per child (the accompanying person only pays the entrance to the site: 5 euros).
The first appointment will lead children to discover the Campi Flegrei, which have fascinated ancient peoples, travellers and the curious for centuries. The particular geological and climatic characteristics of the territory have contributed to making this place a treasure chest of stories and mysteries.
Following the model of the ancient travellers of the Grand Tour, the little explorers will start from the entrance of the Rione Terra, to move on to the terraces that look towards the Coast, from there the story of the birth of Pozzuoli and the evolution of the ancient nucleus will be introduced. They will then proceed towards the lower part of the city, arriving at the Macellum, the heart of ancient Puteoli, one of the most important commercial ports and an area loved by the Roman aristocracy who went there on holiday.
The children will discover how, in the Middle Ages, when the phenomenon of Bradyseism conditioned the territory, creating a real entrenchment in the Rione Terra, the Macellum ended up being forgotten and buried until the 700th century. How did the Macellum come to light? And why was that area called the Temple of Serapis? Alternating the activities with the guide's explanations, the children will take a journey into the history, secrets and mysteries of this ancient land.
The project “Little explorers discover…” will continue on June 18 with the event “The colors of history”, at the Museum and Royal Wood of Capodimonte, to discover the magic of the Bourbon Palace and the works of art housed in the Museum; on July 2 it will be the turn of “The poet tells”, a route to the Parco Vergiliano and to Virgil’s tomb; the last appointment is on September 24 at the Lapis Museum with “The moon in the well”, which will see children descend into the bowels of the city in search of the characters who inhabit the Neapolitan underground.
