Arzano

Arzano is a commune in the Metropolitan City of Naples located just north of the city. The town has a dense residential character shaped by its proximity to Naples and its integration into the larger metropolitan area.

The commune developed through the administrative reorganization of the Naples region, which was transformed from a province into a metropolitan city in 2015. This change redefined the local governance structure and its relationship with the regional capital.

Residents keep traditional crafts and family businesses alive, while Neapolitan food traditions and social customs shape the rhythm of everyday life. Community bonds and neighborhood ties remain strong in this close-knit area.

The town connects easily to Naples through the metropolitan transportation network, making day trips to the city convenient. Walking through residential neighborhoods gives a sense of local daily life and how communities are organized here.

The area has a notably high population density in a relatively small space, showing how tightly woven residential neighborhoods are in this part of Naples. This compact settlement pattern shapes how neighbors interact and how streets and public spaces are used daily.
