Largo Corpo di Napoli, Historical square in Spaccanapoli district, Italy
The Largo Corpo di Napoli features a central ancient statue of the Nile god, created in the second century by Alexandrian craftsmen.
The square received its name in the 15th century after the discovery of the Nile statue, which initially lacked a head until the 17th century.
The square displays a memorial to Diego Maradona containing an autographed photo, hair strands, and newspaper clippings from Naples' championship victory.
The square connects to Via Nilo, linking the lower and major decumanus, making it a central crossing point in Naples' historical center.
The Nile statue was erected by Alexandrian merchants who settled in Naples, marking their commercial presence and connection to their Egyptian origins.
