Casalnuovo di Napoli

Located 13 kilometers northeast of Naples, Casalnuovo di Napoli encompasses four districts: Casarea, Tavernanova, Licignano, and Talona at 26 meters elevation.

The settlement emerged from ancient Archora ruins, later acquired by Baron Giovanni III de Alexandro, Grand Chamberlain of Calabria, in the early 15th century.

The San Giacomo Apostolo church maintains the tradition of animal blessing ceremonies every February 3, while the Literary Prize encourages local writers.

The area maintains connections to Naples through public transportation networks and houses multiple enterprises in textile and footwear manufacturing sectors.

The Social Library named after Giacomo Leopardi serves as a cultural center, preserving literature and supporting educational initiatives for local residents.
