This stroll leads to the discovery of a part of the historic center where art and culture are breathed at every corner. Immediately after Piazza del Gesù, via Benedetto Croce begins, part of Spaccanapoli, where, in addition to many shops selling traditional Neapolitan items, bars, street food venues, and the famous artisanal chocolatier Gay Odin, stands Palazzo Venezia. So named because it was donated to the Republic of Venice in 1412, it can be visited on the first floor and is mainly used for events, evenings, concerts, and exhibitions.
Continuing, you arrive at Piazza San Domenico Maggiore with the church of the same name and the obelisk, while a little further ahead is Largo Corpo di Napoli with the Statue of the God Nile, a testimony to the presence of an Egyptian community two thousand years ago. From here, via San Biagio dei Librai begins, that is, the Lower Decumanus, dotted with souvenir shops and craftsmanship, with Palazzo Carafa and Palazzo Marigliano towering over it, and where it is possible to visit the Monte di Pietà. About halfway through the route, you come across the famous San Gregorio Armeno.
