Some Neapolitan Shops

Dispaccio is Naples' best art book store (33 via Luigi Settembrini, near MADRE, the contemporary art museum).

Ivano Bove opened the shop in 2025. He has a stunning collection and he knows his books.

Happily, Dispaccio was minutes from our apartment.

We dropped in every evening, and came home with great books and good local sightseeing suggestions.

Just down the street from Dispaccio we found this elegant dog on guard in front of his master's fabric shop.

Bill and I keep our hair short so our cuts need attention every three weeks.

We like our barber shops cheap and cheerful. Bill is getting exactly the haircut he asked for at this via del Zita shop.

And he looks terrific springing out of the chair.

Another Neapolitan barber shop featured the heads of soccer players: anyone for a Dybala?

On the Spaccanapoli at via San Gregorio Armeno, we found a Tombola shop. Tombola, similar to our bingo, is a popular Neapolitan Christmas game.

Nearby, this pop up shop was selling soccer merch for the upcoming Serie A championship (which Naples won).

Maradona is still the ultimate Neapolitan soccer hero. Maradona merchandise is everywhere.

I had not known that I needed Elizabeth II and Pope Francis action figures until I visited Naples. Now I know.

We were charmed by the antiques at the Neapolitan Sacred Art shop in the San Lorenzo Quarter.

Look at this amazing shop window!

Steps away was this old-fashioned print shop.

At the end of the day we always made our way home past a thicket of wedding shops around the Duomo.
