WELCOME TO NAPLES!
Get ready for a unique adventure! From living near ancient ruins, to discovering authentic Italian pizzerias, to shopping at local markets, to exploring
Naples‘ unbelievable artwork and history, your posting to Naples will be filled
with ―one of a kind‖ experiences.
The ―Thriving in Naples‖ handbook is designed to provide basic information to
assist you and your family in becoming familiar with what is available in the
area and to help answer many of your questions about living in Naples.
Adjusting to a new country is not without its challenges, but Military Family
Services Europe (MFSE) is here with resources, support, and programs in
place to assist in making this adjustment as smooth as possible.
Our offices are co-located with the PSP office in the
Canadian Community Center in Naples (CCCN).
MFSE offers activities and organizes programs for child
and youth development, parenting support, community
integration, support and intervention, and family separation and reunion.
There are many opportunities to join children, youth, parents, newcomers and
Canadians who have already lived in Naples for a while during regularly
planned activities and outings. During the school year we facilitate a preschool playgroup, and offer activities for various age groups (6—9, 10—12,
13 +), in addition to coffee mornings and monthly group social activities. Our
summer is filled with outings and Villa activities to help new families settle in.
Visit often and enjoy your time in Naples!

ITALIAN CULTURE & ETIQUETTE
Even though you may prepare yourself for culture shock, it does not mean it
will be any less ‗shocking‘ when you arrive in Naples. It is normal to feel
overwhelmed, stressed, homesick, and sad. It takes between 6 to 12 months to
grow accustomed to the new culture, but eventually routines will develop.
You will learn what to expect in most situations and Naples will start feeling
more comfortable. Trying to ‗go with the flow‘ and being patient and relaxed
can help you to integrate into Naples‘ lifestyle and your new home.
The language barrier may pose more of a shock than anything else for many
Canadians. Being able to communicate is so very important; to be able to tell
people what you need, to ask directions, and to be able to read simple signage
can make you feel more confident and self reliant. There are a variety of language training options. See the MFSE Community Service Providers for more
information.
Here is some culture and etiquette information for Naples and Italy:
 Greet new people with a formal ‗Buon Giorno‘ (before about 4pm) or
‗Buona Sera‘ (after 4pm) and a handshake. Kissing on the cheeks and
greeting with ‗Ciao‘ is usually for family and friends. ―Salve‖ can be used
for shopkeepers. Use ―Buono Sera‖ as an afternoon and early evening
greeting.
 Gifts are usually opened when received.
 When standing in a line, stand very close to the person ahead of you.
This will help to ensure that another person does not cut in front of you.
 Whistling and winking at women is meant as a compliment and is not
meant in a degrading way. If a woman is not interested, she will ignore
them.
 At a Café Bar, make your order and pay at the cash register (Cassa). Then
bring your receipt to the bar staff to make the order.
 Generally, a salesclerk will ignore you until eye contact is made to
signal that service is required. It is also customary for the customer to
greet staff; a simple ‗Salve‘ is acceptable.
 If invited to an Italian‘s house for supper, you may find these tips
helpful:
 Bring a gift - chocolates, wine, or even something Canadian.
 Always take a small serving to begin with, so you can accept a
second helping. It is acceptable to leave a small amount of
food on your plate, this means you are full and cannot finish.
 If you do not want more wine, leave your wineglass nearly full.

NEAPOLITAN WINE & FOOD
Wine
For two thousand years Italy has produced wine, making it one of the oldest wine producing regions in the
world. Wine lovers from all around the world come to
Italy today to explore wines from the regions in the
north - Veneto, Piedmont, and Tuscany, to the regions
in the south - Campania, Apulia, Sardinia and Sicily.
The rich volcanic soils and the warm hot climate of the
Campania region have produced some outstanding and unique wines. A few
of the wines that have an international reputation are Greco di Tufo and Falanghina white wines, and Aglianico and Taurasi red wines. Another wine
that Italians and Neapolitans are known for is Spumante. Spumante is a
sparkling wine, often served with dessert and on special occasions. Asti Spumante is the most well-known of the many varieties.
MWR ITT Tours, based on the Gricignano base, offers regular wine tours.
Food
Dining in Naples is a cultural experience. Restaurants
typically open for cena (supper) around 7:30 p.m.,
while most Neapolitans arrive around 8 p.m. or even 9
p.m. The Neapolitan dining experience can last for a
few hours, allowing time for you to enjoy food and
drinks with your company. Finding ―fast food‖ is rare.
In addition to the usual à la carte style, there are restaurants with a set menu,
where the chef will prepare fresh seasonal meals. Typically, there is a set
price per person at these restaurants, which may include wine and water. An
example Neapolitan meal in order could be:
Antipasti (Appetizers)
 Bruschetta, Zeppolini, or deli meats & cheeses
Primi (First Course)
 Pasta or soup
Secondi (Main Course - served without any side dishes)
 Fish or meat dish
 Side orders of vegetables, including French fries (le patatine
fritte), must be ordered separately
Dolce & Caffè (Sweets (dessert) and coffee)
 Caprese torte, Limoncello liquor, or espresso
14
NEAPOLITAN WINE & FOOD (cont’d)
Frutti di Mare
Italian for ―fruits of the sea‖, this is how Neapolitans refer
to fresh seafood. This delicious mixture may contain mussels, clams, prawns, fish, calamari, and octopus and can be
served on a plate of pasta, as a salad, or even on top of a
pizza (complete with shells!)
You can even purchase fresh seafood at the Pozzuoli Ferry Port; fishermen
sell their catch from the back of their boats in the early morning.
Mozzarella di Bufala
The Campania region is known for Mozzarella di Bufala. It is literally mozzarella cheese made from buffalo milk. It is a soft white cheese, round in
shape and kept fresh in a watery liquid. Neapolitans buy it the day they wish
to eat it, and it is not refrigerated unless it is not consumed. Generally, any
leftovers will be for cooking. One half hour before eating, drain the cheese
from its whey and let sit on paper towels. Cut and serve. You may come to
know this delicious cheese in Caprese Salad.
When purchasing Mozzarella di Bufala, look for a
smooth tight round surface, no yellow spots or marks,
and when pressed with a finger it should not be soft
like ricotta.
Pizza
Naples is known as the birthplace of pizza. Pizza is in the hearts of
Neapolitans, and the famous Margherita Pizza was invented to honour their
Queen Margherita around 1889. Margherita Pizza is topped with white mozzarella cheese, red tomato sauce, and a single leaf of green basil - the colours
of the Italian Flag.
A true Neapolitan pizza is made by hand, baked in a wood oven, has a thin
crust, is topped with fresh ingredients, and is delicious! Pizzafest is a celebration of pizza and takes place each September,
with evenings full of music, theatre, and pizza
demonstrations.

NEAPOLITAN WINE & FOOD (cont’d)
A Note on Local Produce
The Campania region produces a great deal of seasonal fruits and vegetables.
When in season, this produce is cheap, fresh, and delicious. Often you will
see people selling their home-grown fruits and vegetables for great prices out
of small three-wheeled trucks parked on the side of the road.
Unfortunately, recent reports have questioned
the quality of locally-grown produce. There
have been investigations of mob-related
dumping of toxic waste leading to unacceptable levels of toxins in some Campania-grown
fruits and vegetables .
The US Navy has completed extensive studies
and has concluded that all the food sold in
their facilities meets acceptable safety standards. Their produce is sourced from outside the Campania region, so you can
shop there confidently (if not conveniently). Other sources have concluded
that the problem outside of US facilities is either overblown or unavoidable.
The Auchan and Ipercoop grocery stores stock produce from outside the
Campania region, and the sources are marked above the produce.
Try to find out where your produce (including dairy) is coming from, and
choose those that are grown or produced outside Campania and especially
outside the triangle formed by Accerra, Nola, and Marigliano (see map below). Note however that what Italian legislation there is about labelling the
specific source of foodstuffs is frequently ignored, so this may be very difficult. There are a lot of resources on the situation online, or come by and talk
to the MFS staff for more information.

Epiphany is a wonderful day for children! A witch called La Befana goes
to each house and leaves good children candy and small toys in their stockings, then sweeps the house with her broom.
February 14th
San Valentino (St. Valentine‘s Day) is typically
celebrated the same as in Canada, with couples
going out for supper and giving small gifts. A popular Valentine‘s gift in Italy is Baci chocolates – a
small chocolate covered hazelnut containing a
small slip of paper with a romantic poetic quote in
4 languages.
March 8th
For Feste delle Donne (International Women‘s Day), men give the women
in their lives sprigs of a yellow flower called Mimosa.
The flowers are a sign of respect and support for
women.
17
ITALIAN HOLIDAYS & FESTIVALS (cont’d)
Carnevale
The Carnevale festival takes place 40 days prior to
Easter. In Naples, it is a fun holiday for children to
dress up in costumes and go to local piazzas, like
Piazza Plebiscito or to the Mall, to play. Typically, parents buy their children confetti and silly
string to have fun with their friends.
In Ivrea, near Turin, Carnevale includes the famous ―Battaglia delle Arance‖,
or the Battle of the Oranges, in which thousands of people pelt each other with
up to 400,000 kg of oranges for days on end. Venice holds perhaps the most
famous Carnevale in Italy, and is well worth the visit to see displays of art,
food, and culture.
Pasqua
During the Easter weekend, many processions and religious events can be seen
throughout the Naples area.
People give each other a large chocolate egg for Easter. Inside is a toy or
costume jewellery.
August 15th
Ferragosto means August holiday. The holiday begins on the 15th which is
the feast of the Assumption of Mary, a religious holiday for Roman Catholics
in Italy. The entire country literally shuts down for at least 2 weeks. Many
Italians will take the entire month of August off from work and relax on the
beach.
September
Piedigrotta is an interesting festival that takes place over 11 days in central
Naples. The festival consists of processions, shows, art, and fireworks.
Famous songs including Funiculì, Funiculà and O Sole Mio debuted at this
festival. www.festadipiedigrotta.it
Pizzafest takes place every year with evenings full of
music, theatre, cabaret, and of course pizza demonstrations. It‘s a great way to enjoy pizza in the
heart of Naples! www.pizzafest.info
18
ITALIAN HOLIDAYS & FESTIVALS (cont’d)
September 19th
Festa di San Gennaro, the Feast Day of Naples‘ patron saint, San Gennaro. Every year people gather at
the Duomo anxiously awaiting a miracle. Two vials of
San Gennaro‘s dried blood are kept at the Duomo and
every year on September 19th the blood is said to liquefy. When it liquefies, the church members celebrate
with cheers, tears, and the waving of hankies, as this
means Naples will be safe from harm for another year.
This is a very unique festival to witness while in Naples.
November 1st
All Saints Day is celebrated through prayer, going to mass. The day before,
the 31st of October is known as All Souls day and families visit cemeteries to
put flowers on graves. Families gather to remember those who have passed
on. Halloween is not traditionally celebrated in the same way, but modern
times have seen Italian families taking up the Trick or Treat tradition.
December
During the month of December and into January, you can experience celebrations and shopping for Christmas. Christmas Alley (Via San Gregorio Armeno, close to Via Duomo) comes alive with extra stalls selling nativity
scenes called Presepio, and there are even towns
that set up live Presepi to visit. There are Christmas markets in the region too.
Felice Capodanno!! Happy New Year!
The New Year literally comes in with a bang in
Naples! Fireworks can be seen in all directions for the entire day, but at midnight everyone seems to be setting off fireworks! From houses and apartment
balconies to entire towns, find a place with a view and take in the spectacle!
A safety note: make sure that you do not park or walk under or too close to
apartments or houses around midnight. Naples takes the phrase ―out with the
old, in with the new” very literally. In addition to fireworks and firecrackers, people will throw unwanted
furniture and other items from their windows and balconies.

Tips
*A low budget airline is just that - low budget. Through most of these airlines,
you will pay extra for checked luggage (and sometimes carry-ons) and for
food on board; on some, there is no seat assignment. When looking for flights,
check for Naples AND Rome departures, as you will come across some different options from Rome. Some budget airlines offer seasonal routes, and many
have the best rates for Saturday—Tuesday or Thursday—Monday trips.

Parking at Capodichino Airbase
You are able to park at the base when going on holidays. If leaving your
car for longer than four days, you are required to fill out the Long Term
Parking Request. There is a copy of this form in your Welcome Binder. For
more information please call: 081 568 5252 Fax: 081 568 4977 You can
pick up your parking pass at the Pass & ID Office at the Capodichino Naval
Base gate. Most international flights leave early, so pick up your pass before the day of your flight.
Trains
Italy has an extensive train network and
it is a great way to get around and see
the countryside. Between major cities
there are le frecce, (―the arrows‖) the
high-speed trains. These travel at 300
km/h, are comfortable, and usually very
punctual. They are quite expensive
though. Their slower counterparts
(regionale and intercity trains) are much cheaper but you are not always
guaranteed a place to sit and trains are often delayed.
The main train station in Naples is in Piazza Garibaldi –called Napoli Centrale. From here you can connect to Rome, Florence, Milan, and Venice,
and beyond all throughout Europe. The easiest way to arrive at the Garibaldi Train Station is by Metro line 2. The closest station for most Canadians is
in Pozzuoli, but many consider the Bagnoli station to be more convenient.
Note that there are 2 Pozzuoli and 2 Bagnoli stations on different Metro
lines (See p 38 for more information on the Metro)
It may be easier for you to catch a train about 15 minutes from Lago Patria,
in a town called Villa Literno. Parking is tight, so you may want to ask a
friend for a ride to and from the station. There is also a train station about
25 minutes from Lago Patria in Aversa. Aversa Train Station has an hourly
pay parking lot.

BANKING
Bancomat is Italian for an ATM. The Bancomat machines operate pretty
much as they do in Canada when using a Canadian bank or credit card.
When using a Canadian credit card or debit card, first locate either the Cirrus
or BankMate symbol on the Bancomat machine. These banking systems are
international so your card will work. After inserting your card, it will prompt
you for the preferred language. Continue transaction as normal. If using your
Italian Bank Card, the Bancomat transaction will be conducted in Italian.
Credit cards generally work (although American Express users may encounter problems).
Not all Bancomat machines operate the same, but as long as you remember
that ―Prelievo‖ is Withdrawal and ―Ricevuta‖ is Receipt, you will be OK.
The Banco di Napoli branch on
JFC Lago Patria speaks English
and can assist you with your
Italian banking needs and problems (unfortunately they do not
guarantee to speak French).
Bank accounts are offered to
Canadians, as well as house insurance. Be sure to clearly request enough bank cards and /or
for a credit card account. In Europe, not all online services accept a debit Mastercard, which is
offered by Banco di Napoli, so have a credit card will help with advance travel reservations.
US dollars can be acquired using the bank machines at the shopping mall and
Navy Lodge on the Gricignano support site. Canadian bank cards and credit
cards are accepted at the NEX and American Commissary. You may need to
inform your bank that you will be using your cards in Europe, so that no stoppayments will be applied to your cards.

BEACHES
There are many beaches within a short drive or ferry ride
from Naples that are beautiful, clean, and have sparkling
blue water in which to swim. There are many beaches in and around Naples
as well, but they are often crowded and some can be dirty, especially in August. There is a beach that is accessible to NATO cardholders only in Bacoli.
Beaches are very popular during the hot summer months. Most beaches are
private pay beaches, where you will pay for parking your car, and, if you
choose, umbrellas and lounge chairs. Most beach facilities have a café bar
or restaurant, showers, bathrooms, and DJ music. Some private beach areas
have play equipment for children. It is acceptable to bring your own picnic
food, beach toys, and even beach chairs.
Sperlonga has a beautiful beach with white sand, and clear blue water.
About an hour and a half drive north of Naples, it is a popular destination
for beach goers.
Gaeta offers another beautiful beach location north of Naples. Just over an
hours drive along the coast you will arrive in the small town of Gaeta, where
the beach is clean and the water is crystal blue.
The island of Capri provides a picturesque backdrop for its beaches. The
beach resorts along its coastline are among the best beaches in Italy - the
sights of the translucent blue and green grottoes more than make up for the
lack of sand found there.
Taking a ferry to either of the islands of Procida or Ischia, you will find
lovely beaches that are less crowded, and yet provide a wonderful relaxing
escape.
Rent a boat and anchor in a bay off Ischia. The
swimming is out of this world!

Tips

There are people asking for money and selling things on the beach.
Ignore or say ‗No‘ and they will leave you alone.

Do not leave your valuables in the car or in a bag while at the beach.
Valuables are best left at home.

At times, swimming may be prohibited at beaches along the Campania
Region coastline. Check for local reports before ―diving in‖.

HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
The Canadian Forces have a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with
the American Forces for health care in Naples. Upon arriving in Naples, you
should go to the US Naval Hospital on the Gricignano support site to register your family for health services. You will be given a four-digit number,
usually the birth month and date of the Forces member, which you will be
asked to provide, along with your NATO ID card, in order to receive health
services and appointments at the American health facility.
Dental Services
Dental services may be available at the Naval hospital at Gricignano. However, American active members are the prioriy for dental care and so NATO
members and their dependents may find it difficult to get an appointment.
The status can and does change, so keep trying for an appointment. At time
of writing, Canadians have to call for a dental appointment daily, with the
possibility of getting in on a cancellation. If you know a couple of days
ahead that you will be on the support site, you can call and ask whether you
can see a dentist. Call 081 811 6007/6008 for appointments.
For dental services you must begin by seeing a dentist for a check-up. At
that time you will be given x-rays and a dentist will consult with you. S/he
will then recommend your follow-up treatments (ie. Hygienist, etc.).
There are two recommended Italian dentists used by Canadians on the economy:
Centro Oftalmico Internazionale SOVIET
Via Staffeta, 87 Lago Patria
Dr. Marra Roberto, Centro ORIS
I Trav. Licola Patria, 2 Arco Felice, 80072
Emergency Services
The US Naval Hospital emergency room is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week for emergency medical care. It is fully staffed with emergency doctors, nurses and triage staff. The care in the emergency room is fast and
thoughtful.

You may also need to visit an Italian hospital located closer to your home. It
is advisable that you determine your closest facility in case of emergency.
All emergency rooms will accept your as a patient. You may wish to get in
touch with an Italian-English speaker to help you communicate with staff in
an emergency room. In case of emergency, dial 118 for ambulance in Europe.
Health Care Payments and Reimbursement
Care received at the US Naval Hospital (including dental, pharmacy, labs,
immunization) will be billed directly to the Canadian Forces member
through the NATO mail system. Costs can then be claimed through Sunlife
(Outside Canada form) and Great West Life.
Medical Care
To make an appointment with a doctor, for annual check-ups or illness, call
081 811 6273. Pediatricians are available for children. You can request a
specific doctor, and the American system does favor continued care with the
same medical provider throughout your stay in Naples.
Medical Services
Other medical services are available from the US Naval Hospital, including
orthopaedics, an immunization clinic for which you do not require an appointment, physiotherapy, obstetrical/gynaecological clinic, mental health
services, radiology, well baby clinic, surgical unit, and laboratory. You may
be referred to an Italian specialist for some specialities.

Opticians
There are English-speaking opticians on site at JFC and the Gricignano support site.
Pharmacies
If issued a prescription by an American physician, the prescription will be
electronically communicated to the pharmacy within the support site health
care facility. Go to the pharmacy, located in the center of the ground floor of
the health care building, and check in for your prescriptions. It takes just a
few minutes to prepare, and all pharmaceutical services and consultations are the same as in Canada.

Usually you have to push a button to be admitted to the store, for security

While not open on Sundays, some commonly requested ―over the counter‖

vending machine outside the pharmacy.

HOUSEHOLD INFORMATION
Compared to the houses and apartments in Canada, Italian homes are a
bit different than what you might be used to. Cement walls with no insulation and beautiful marble floors throughout are common. Here is
some basic information to help you enjoy your new home and the Italian lifestyle.
Utilities
Electricity, phone, and the Internet may not
be as reliable as you are accustomed to. It
may be a sunny day and you lose power, or
it rains and your phone goes but you have
Internet. There seems to be no rhyme or reason, but to expect it and to
work around it is the answer. For example, have flashlights readily
available and know where the electrical fuse box is located, in case your
system requires a manual reset when power returns. See the Electricity
info sheet at the Villa for more.
Your wifi will probably have a shorter range in Italy than in Canada due
to the concrete-and-rebar construction of the houses. If your wifi isn‘t
reaching all areas of your house, you can pick up a wifi repeater or
range extender for less than 100€ that will enable wifi over a much
longer range.
35
HOUSEHOLD INFORMATION (con’t)
Cleaning
Regardless of how houses look on the outside, Italians take great pride
on the cleanliness of the interior. Italian cleaning products work best
with the hard water and will help your house look its best. For example,
using a floor cleaning product that contains alcohol will cut through the
dust and dirt to help give the ceramic floor a shine. See the list and description of preferred Italian cleaning products below for more information. There is also a workshop, ―Italian Products and How to Use
Them‖ offered in the Fall by the MFSE.

HOUSEHOLD INFORMATION (cont’d)
Garbage
At times, Naples area has a garbage management issue. Depending on
where you live, you may get daily or weekly door-to-door pickup, or you
may have to bring your garbage to a central location. Recycling is mandatory in most areas and failure to recycle can result in a heavy fine. Despite
the recent efforts to solve garbage issues, garbage on streets is a fact of
life here.
There is an elaborate recycling program to be followed. Each type of garbage or recycling is collected on a separate day, for the most part. Following the schedule should result in very little unrecyclable garbage.
Garbage and recycling pickup schedules and regulations vary by area.
This is something to ask your landlord about.

landlord, the contacts and numbers below may be of service.

Canine Leishmaniasis
It is a zoonotic disease caused by parasites transmitted through the bite of
an infected sandfly. The disease is found mainly near the Mediterranean
coastline.
In order to prevent contraction of leishmaniasis, keep your dog indoors at
dusk and dawn, when the sandfly is most active. A Scalibor collar
(deltamethrin) has been proven to be 86% effective in prevention.
Monthly applications of Advantix is also recommended.
Signs of leishmaniasis include hair loss, patches of dry skin on the tips of
the ears and nose, as well as swollen lymph nodes, loss of weight and
decreased appetite, and increased drinking and urination.
There is no cure for leishmaniasis, but treatment is available and required
for the lifetime of the dog. Infection in cats is rare. For more information,
visit www.leishmaniasis.info
Pet Supplies
Pet foods are available in the NEX, at the Commissary, and on the economy. Most veterinarians do not sell prescription pet foods, because in
Italy they are available in a regular pet food store. Royal Canin and Hills
Prescription Diet are easy to find. If the store does not have the food you
want on a shelf, do not hesitate to ask them to order it for you. They usually can find it within a day or two.
Pet foods ordered from the Support Site vet take a long time to ship.
They will also cost more than finding it on the economy.
Pet prescription scripts are provided by vets, but you must have the prescription filled at a farmacia. There is one in Monterusciello/Arco Felice
and another in Lago Patria. Most farmacias that offer pet services will
have a separate counter for the service.

Return of Pets to Canada
Keep in mind that many North American airlines will not fly pets in
cargo during the summer season, which starts in early June and ends
in late September. Plan in advance for your pet‘s return. Animals
who do not accompany you on your return trip may require extra
documentation.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) will accept pets into
Canada with essentially the same health status and documentation as
when you left. An up-to-date European pet passport will reflect your
pet‘s health status, including the details of the rabies vaccination
required to re-enter Canada. The passport is available from all European vets, and can be used for travel throughout Europe. All documentation must be provided in English or French to Canadian officials.
Be sure to have all your documentation completed properly to enter
Canada. Canadian airports do have veterinarians on staff to review
paperwork and check the health of pets, unlike your arrival in many
European airports where pets frequently arrive without requiring
proof of documentation. For more information on bringing pets into
Canada, visit http://www.inspection.gc.ca/.

POST OFFICE
Incoming and Outgoing Mail
The Naples community ships its mail to Germany via UPS, from where it is
sent to Canada and there enters the normal Canada Post system. Because of
this, sending and receiving mail works a little differently here.
Each member has a mail slot in the CSE office
at JFC. Mail items can be picked up any time
during their opening hours. Mail is delivered
once a week.
At Christmas time, Canada Post sends mail and
parcels to Forces members posted oversees at
no cost to the sender. You will receive notification in late October of this year‘s dates and instructions.
For mail being delivered from Canada to you in Naples, the following address should be used:
Rank/Name
CFSU(E), Det Naples
P.O. Box 5045 STN Forces

POST OFFICE (cont’d)
Outgoing Mail
Larger items and outgoing mail go through Element. Parcels can also be
prepared at the Villa prior to taking them to the Element. The mail room is
currently on the on the 1st (ground + 1) floor in the community computer
room. Brown paper, tape, shipping labels, a ruler, scale and computers to
access the Canada Post Ship-in-a-Click system are available at the Villa. To
send mail, stamped letters can be simply left in the ―outgoing‖ in the CSE
office, while packages require some preparation. Currently we use Canada
Post‘s ―Ship-in-a-click‖ service to handle outgoing parcels. Once all the
forms are filled out and payment has been made online, you can leave your
prepared package in the outgoing mail area or with the Postal clerk at the
CSE. Outgoing mail to Canada leaves on Mondays.
Stamps
Currently there is no system in place for acquiring Canadian stamps in Naples. Each member/family is responsible for their own stamps. They can be
ordered online from Canada Post at:

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Naples offers a variety of public transportation options. Most commonly used are
the subways, trains, and funicular (cable
cars that are used to transport passengers
up and down steep slopes). Busses and
streetcars are also available.
Trains/Metropolitana/Funiculars
Several different companies run the different lines of Naples‘ train system. This means the system is not as integrated
as in most other major cities, which can be very confusing. Because the
train lines were developed independently from one another, often there will
be two identically-named stations in the same general area. You must be
aware of not only what station you are at, but what line you are on. For
example, there are two Montesanto stations two blocks apart; one on the
Cumana/Circumflegrea line, and one on Linea 2. Similarly there are two
Pozzuoli stations, two Bagnoli stations, etc.
Lines 1 and 6 and the four funiculars are operated by Metronapoli. Lines 1
and 6 are not very useful to the majority of Canadians as
they serve areas most will have no need to visit. Line 6
only operates during the week and is very short. The funiculars however are very useful when exploring the downtown core. Line 2 is operated by Trenitalia and is quite
useful; it connects to the Napoli Centrale station in Piazza
Garibaldi, from where you can get on regional trains to
explore Italy and beyond.
The Cumana/Circumflegrea line, operated by EAV, is interesting. It runs
from Torregaveta in Bacoli to Montesanto downtown but takes two different routes, the Circumflegrea route and the Cumana route. The Circumflegrea only connects all the way from Montesanto to Torregaveta a couple of
times a day, and during the winter even the Cumana line doesn‘t always go
all the way to Montesanto! It‘s always best to ask if you‘re unsure when
using this train line, or else you might find yourself stranded.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION (Cont’d)
Busses
Naples has an extensive bus system that can seem overwhelming at first
but it actually quite easy to use, although the busses are often overcrowded. Most bus stops list all the places that bus will go. Note that if
more than one bus services a stop, you are expected to flag the driver
down. Busses don‘t stop automatically at every stop, you must request the
stop by pushing the ―Fermata‖ button on board. Tickets are validated on
board.
Tickets
Tickets may be purchased at some newspaper stands,
bars, and at train stations. Tickets must be validated by
inserting them into the machines located in the train
stations or on the bu ses. Passengers will be fined if
they have not validated their ticket before boarding the
train. If the validation machine is out of order, you
must sign the ticket along with the date and time.
Tickets are sold as Semplice (one use) for €2, Orario
(120 minutes) passes for €2.50, or as monthly and annual passes. They can be used to travel within Naples‘
city limits, and within some of the neighbouring communities on ANM and
ACTP buses and streetcars, the Metropolitana and Cumana trains and funiculars.
Train schedules and additional information can be found at
www.metro.na.it. Ticket information can be found at
www.unicocampania.it.
Tips
Sometimes, on the Metropolitana Line 2, which runs from Pozzuoli to
downtown, the train will end its run at the Campi Flegrei Station. You
must change trains, or wait for the next train. Listen for announcements, or
ask a Trenitalia staff member. If you see a lot of Italians changing trains, it
probably means you should too!
 It is recommended that you purchase extra tickets, as ticket booths
may be closed early in the evening or on Sundays.
 Beware of pickpockets on busses and trains, especially around Piazza
Garibaldi.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION (cont’d)
Alibus
The Alibus is common in Italian cities, linking their
airport(s) to the central city. In Naples, the Alibus
runs from the Capodichino Airport round-about to
Piazza Garibaldi and Molo Beverello at Piazza Municipio. The Alibus ticket costs 3€ and can be purchased
on board. It is valid for 90 minutes on all local public
transport.
Buses depart from the aiport and central Naples every
30 minutes, from 6:30 am to 11:30 pm.

SHOPPING
Codice Fiscale
In order to enter into a contract of any kind in Italy, you require a codice
fiscale, for which you probably applied when on your house hunting trip.
The codice fiscale is required for online purchases, car purchases, setting
up mobile phone accounts, and so on.
Commissary
The US Commissary located on the Gricignano base sells
American products in the North American grocery style. All
prices are in American dollars, and you have to pay in American dollars. There is a variety of ethnic foods available, a bakery and deli
counter, fresh produce, and a large selection of meats. You can find glutenfree products, vegan products, and many frozen convenience products.
Groceries
Depending on where you live and how you like to shop, your experience
picking up your daily or weekly necessities can vary. In addition to the
American Commissary for familiar North American items, your can find a
large selection of common grocery items at the supermercato, such as IperCOOP (Quarto/Monterusiello and Auchan (Giugliano). Both of these
stores are similar to the superstore experience in Canada. You will find
groceries, cleaning supplies, wine and alcohol, clothing, toys, office supplies, gardening and outdoor basics, electronics and seasonal items. These
large chain services are located inside shopping malls. After parking, bring
a grocery cart in through the mall with you, as you cannot get a grocery
cart inside. (You will require a 50¢, 1€ or 2€ coin to acquire a grocery cart.
Your money will be returned when you lock your grocery cart back into
another cart.) You will have to bag your own groceries in these stores.
Bring reusable bags or expect to pay for a busto (plastic bag) if you forget.
These stores are usually open from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm.
Many smaller grocery stores are located within the communities around
Naples. You will find CONAD, Deco, Sigma, MD Discount, and SPAR
stores most commonly. These are like small grocery stores that carry a
smaller variety of products, but you will find produce, a small bakery section, a butcher and deli counter, dairy and frozen items, and basic nonperishable items in these stores. Expect a packer to bag your items in many
of these stores. They will often help you to your vehicle, and they work for
tips. These stores may close in the afternoon during riposa.

60
SHOPPING (con’t)
Navy Exchange (NEX)
The NEX, located on the Gricignano base,
is like a department store. All prices are in
American dollars. You can purchase garden
furniture, furniture for your home, linens, clothing, toys, automobile supplies, sporting items, pet supplies, luggage, jewelry, cosmetics, electronics,
books, DVDs, magazines, maps, and seasonal items there. You can also
purchase fuel coupons, have passport photos taken, and exchange euros for
American cash. If you find the same product available for a lesser cost and
you can provide proof to the cashier, they will offer a price match.
Shopping Malls
There are fewer shopping malls around Naples than we find in Canada.
They are busy every day all year, as Italians do like to make mall browsing
a family affair, including the family dog. (Yes, dogs are permitted in shopping malls!) The Campania Mall and Volcano Buono mall are the most
similar to North American style indoor experiences. You will also find
chain clothing stores in the malls hosting IperCOOP and Auchan. Despite
not having the same discounts as North American outlets, La Reggia Outlet
Mall is a plaza, with a great play area for small children. Cilento Outlet
Village is located in Cilento, on the way to Paestum
Specialty Stores
In addition to the small grocery stores, you can shop for specialty items in
local stores too. In most neighbourhoods you will find:
Macellaria - butcher
Panetteria - bakery
Pescheria - fish shop
Salumeria - deli, bread, cheese, corner store
Tabacchi - tobacconist (cigarettes, transportation tickets, phone cards)
Fioraio - florist
61
SHOPPING (con’t)
Value-Added Tax (VAT)
NATO personnel and dependents qualify for tax free shopping. If you
make large purchases on the Italian economy, you can claim back the tax
you paid or have the taxes waived at point of sale. For example, furniture
purchases qualify for VAT exemption. Some large stores have systems in
place to accommodate VAT shopping, but you may need to have a letter
from the CSE and your NATO ID card in order for the tax to be excluded.
In some cases, the CSE may be able to place an order on your behalf.
Shopping facilities on the NATO base price their items in advance to accommodate the VAT exemption.
