Cthe beating heart of the event is, as per tradition, the Maschio Angioino, with its monumental courtyard and its ancient rooms, extending the involvement to beaches, town squares and other historic sites.

"The Summer in Naples review – declares the Mayor of Naples Gaetano Manfredi - offers citizens and tourists who experience the city in the summer months the opportunity to enjoy a wide-ranging multicultural program, capable of attracting multiple audiences and which evokes both the theme of identity and the plurality of languages with film, music and theater reviews of various inspirations.
I thank the dozens of artists who will contribute to making our summer richer, more fun and interesting and the many entertainment workers on whom the organization of such a long and complex program is based. This new Summer in Naples concretely represents the directions that we have wanted to impress in these years by putting culture back at the center".
"Estate a Napoli returns with a new, broader formula, enriched in quality and artistic languages - he claims Sergio Locoratolo, coordinator of cultural policies of the Municipality of Naples – A new Summer in Naples in line with the cultural planning project desired by the Administration led by Mayor Manfredi, in the name of a dynamic, inclusive and polycentric vision of the city.
A positive trend - continues Locoratolo - supported by concrete data on the expansion and regeneration of urban spaces, on the increase in the entities involved and the investments implemented. Let's start with the spaces: from 10 municipal cultural sites we have gone in the last three years to over 50 spaces rediscovered or in agreement; 8 municipal sites out of 10 have been affected by important maintenance, refunctionalization and restoration interventions from 2022 to today (completed or in progress) for an unprecedented total investment by the Municipality of over 15 million euros.
A tangible sign is represented by the Maschio Angioino, the privileged location of this Summer, which with the redevelopment works and the exhibition "Napoli Metafisica" by Mimmo Jodice in just over a month has registered over 36.000 visitors, with an increase of over 120% on 2024. With reference to participation: in 3 years the number of associations, bodies and companies involved has increased by +114%, a growth also determined by the increase in the budget foreseen for cultural projects and the consequent increase in activities: from 980 thousand euros allocated to the Culture area in 2021 to 10,8 million euros in 2024 with a number of projects increased from 200 in 2021 to 1500 in 2024. "
"Music and cinema are two fundamental elements of our cultural identity and, as such, they play a central role in the 2025 edition of Estate a Napoli - he adds Ferdinand Tozzi, advisor to the mayor of Naples for the music and audiovisual industry –
From concerts at Maschio Angioino to the Notte della Tammorra in Piazza Mercato to the summer cinema arenas: music and cinema are universal languages that allow us to tell our story, our traditions and our ability to innovate, but also to welcome and bring together the different cultures of the world. All this while respecting the key words of the Naples City of Music project, which aims to enhance creativity as an economic resource, to promote cultural contamination and to create a system to make Naples an international point of reference.".

The article is very interesting and gives an overview of cultural events in Naples. However, there is a lot of information and it seems a bit confusing. Perhaps the text could be simplified for better understanding.
