Casoria, Municipality in Metropolitan City of Naples, Italy
Casoria is a densely populated commune on the northern edge of the Neapolitan agglomeration within the Metropolitan City of Naples in Campania. Residential buildings from several decades shape the townscape with multistorey structures along wide streets and smaller alleys connecting squares and neighborhoods with local shops and services.
The area has been inhabited since ancient times and developed over centuries as a rural center near Naples with agricultural use. With population growth in the 20th century, the place transformed into an urban suburb with modern residential neighborhoods.
The town follows the everyday rhythms of a Neapolitan suburb with markets and shops offering regional produce and traditional recipes from Campanian cuisine. Residents maintain close neighborhood ties and share the dining habits and festivals of the wider Naples area, visible in the presence of local bakeries and pizzerias throughout the streets.
Public transport connects the commune daily to central Naples and surrounding towns, allowing visitors to arrive both during the day and in the evening. Pedestrians move best along sidewalks on main streets, while smaller lanes lead to residential areas and shops throughout the town.
The commune sits at an elevation that marks a gradual rise from the flat coastal area of Naples toward the Campanian hinterland. This gentle difference in height becomes noticeable when crossing the streets and looking toward the surrounding hills in the distance.
