By the exit from the Cacacombs of San Gennaro in Naples you have to see a few colorfuly pictures. Howere in contrast to the inside frescoes, much of the markimgs in these catacombs are ancient Christians symbols.

I would like to show you another looks inside the catacombe, one of the most important well-preserved early Christian burial sites in Italy, an exraordinary blend of history, art and religion, very carefully preservedand open to visit with guidet tours. It was a unique experience.

I have been to the catacombs in Paris and I have been to Sorrento, which is nearby Naples. But I was warned off the big city. Too much crime we were told. But now I am feeling I may have missed out.
