Apparently fireworks were invented in Southern Italy and Italians take fireworks seriously! We were told that New Year’s Eve, we would see the most spectacular firework show ever. Apparently every family sets off their own fireworks and if you are in downtown Napoli, it’s like “bombs over Baghdad.” Someone told us that people set the fireworks out of the windows of the house! We were tempted to drive to CAPO (the base where Matt actually works) but we have a newborn and decided we would stay in our hotel room. We realized that by staying in our hotel we were going to miss the fireworks because we are 25 minutes north of downtown in an area that is not very developed. With a three month old, I wasn’t sure if I would stay awake until midnight but I am proud to say that I did it! And man was I glad I did! Even though we were in BFE, there were fireworks EVERYWHERE!! There are no words to truly capture this evening. Every inch of the sky was covered with fireworks and they continued with this intensity for at least an hour. What an incredible start to our first full year in Napoli!!
The video of the fireworks shows you have far away we are from downtown and how many fireworks there were…but it still does not do it justice!
