Are you from Campania and looking for new friends? Here is the alternative to dating apps imagined by a young Neapolitan

There are many reasons why we might find ourselves alone as adults, from broken relationships to job changes. Roberto Di Nuzzo created "La Combriccola Campana" ("The Campana Gang"), "because meeting someone in person is always the best thing."

Roberto Di Nuzzo, a 26-year-old Neapolitan, left this message in various virtual spaces of various social networks to promote his "creature", namely La Combriccola Campana. New means for an ancient intent: meeting people, expanding one's circle of friends and maybe, who knows, even finding love.

His is an App different from all the others because you meet physically unlike the matrimonial ones or the dating ones so popular in recent years. Roberto di Nuzzo's idea instead is to make all the lonely people meet, those who return to Campania after years.

It is done through the page “The Campana Gang – Events and Campana Outings” or via whatsapp by contacting directly Robert of Nuzzo. Anyone who wants to participate from all over Campania with an age range from 20 to 50 years (a range that remains very flexible) can participate in this new and brilliant entrepreneurial initiative.

In the era of dating apps, of quickly swiping if the photo isn't convincing and of first impressions to be built behind screens, Roberto still prefers to do things "the old fashioned way", putting his face on the line and imagining situations where a meeting with someone we're not yet on good terms with doesn't have immediately physical ends.

How did he get this idea? He tells us about it first hand, starting from his personal experience: “When I became single again after a relationship that lasted almost five years, I realized that I had also lost many friends in the meantime. And, with those I was dating, we often went out as a couple. In the meantime, the pandemic certainly did not help to strengthen relationships, so those that were already weak came to an end”.
