"La napolitudine ormai è diventata troppo scontata, si è prostituita. Sono stati sfruttati proprio i canoni napoletani per fare soldi." Così si sfogava già quarant'anni fa Pino Daniele in un'intervista in cui spiegava il suo difficile rapporto con il capoluogo campano. In un suo studio, Benedetto Croce, napoletano d'adozione, aveva invece definito la città, approfondendo una convinzione medioevale, "un Paradiso abitato da diavoli". Durante il suo Grand Tour, un Goethe estasiato appuntava nei suoi diari: "vedi Napoli e poi muori".
