- You will visit a thermal complex from the Roman rule times and see manuscripts of the Franciscans in the library premises

- You will enter the Jesuit church in splendid Baroque style, where I will tell you about the canonized saint doctor Giuseppe Moscati and the philosophy of healing love

- You will ascend to the residential district of Vomero on the ancient funicular, where from the observation deck you will see panoramas of the sleeping volcano Vesuvius and the most beautiful quarters of the city
