Fare Magazine Issue 15 (Naples) is available now on loremnotipsum.com. In the shadow of Vesuvius, Naples hums with life. From the shores to the streets, a sensory feast unfolds where layers of history and culture are proudly served up – one plate at a time.
There is a certain mysticism to this southern Italian port, where religion and the occult coexist, superstitions are taken seriously, and a network of underground curiosities hints at the city’s vast and varied past. Fed by the rich Campania region, Naples also boasts an impressive – and inventive – culinary tradition that dates back centuries, and still holds strong today. But this is not a city that will rest on its laurels, and a new generation of Neapolitans are putting a modern twist on the city’s culture and cuisine — from innovative pizzaiolos and Michelin star chefs to artists and activists drawing from the past to paint a new vision of Naples.
In this issue, our journey spans from the ground-level bassi apartments to the mozzarella producers of the lush green countryside, from opulent theatres to classic pizzerias, and from hundred-year-old osterias to the glittering shores of Posillipo. In a city steeped in nostalgia, we trace the origins of long-held traditions and generations-old stories to discover the Naples of today, and find out what’s in store for the future.
Fare magazine is a publication exploring the heart of a city through its food, history, and community. Fare magazine is published bi-annually. Fare introduces its readers to a single city and lets its locals do the talking: taking you down backstreets and through forgotten histories, exploring neighborhoods and local institutions, and doing more than just taste the food on offer. The result is a portrait of city life and culture more thoughtful and nuanced than the dreamy conjurings that typify touristic material. Fare magazine is not a conventional travel guide; it is designed to excite and inspire, but also to educate, and each issue begins with a crash course in the city’s phenomena of place, and ends with a full glossary of local terms and histories referenced within.
