I almost started a riot in a Macron Fan Shop in Napoli from BR

Parents went to Napoli and Sicily. I wanted them to buy me an authentic "calcio" jersey. I sent them with two pictures of suitable jerseys.
Rule #1: Don't ever walk into a Napoli fan shop flashing a photo of a #10 Roma jersey. My parents (who know little about even LSU, much less Serie A!) said the reaction was as instant and vehement as asking for a Bo Wallace jersey at Tiger Mania. Three Guidos jumped over the counter so that they could "educate" my parents.
Rule #2: It is wise to check current rosters before sending someone to buy a jersey of a player who no longer plays for a team. I had no idea that Edinson Cavani ( the only Napoli player I knew of) had transferred to PSG. I'm an idiot!
Well, they got me the #7 Napoli jersey with Cavani's name on the back after MUCH protest from the Guido salesmen. They escaped unharmed, and lived to explore the rest of Napoli and Sicily.

Napoli is a sketch-arse city, but they have the best pizza I've ever eaten.

A vendetta could be out.

Probably didn't help that they lost to Roma last Friday

So what? You were trying to get your parents attacked in a foreign country?

Which jerseys were they trying to get your parents to buy? I'm guessing Hamsik, Higuain, or Inler.

I wasn't trying! It apparently almost happened though!!

They couldn't remember, but it was obvious that the Guidos were adamant about it. I can only imagine what it looked like: three greasy Neapolitans waving their arms, cursing in Italian, and being rude to my parents at the mere mention of Francesco Totti or that traitor Cavani.
I would have loved to have been there...This post was edited on 10/23/13 at 8:58 pm

They really don't need to be messing around in napoli IMO.
Stick to the touristy sections and head north at your earliest convenience.

When my girlfriend asked what shirt I wanted while in Italy and listed the cities, a Michael Bradley Roma shirt was my first thought. I made sure to educate her on where to get it to avoid this sort of thing. Basically, it came down to her finding a Roma shop and thinking that that was probably a pretty safe bet to purchase it.
This is pretty spot on from what she described it as this summer.

The only two things you need to know about this city.
