Danielle OteriHOST
I mean, why not? It's a giant hollowed out space.
Danielle OteriHOST
Now, let me go back to after you've made this discovery at the Port of Julius, you start learning history, you start learning Neapolitan and Latin and all of it.
Danielle OteriHOST
Do you go to school formally at some point? What's the next thing that happens in this period after you've been radicalized by history? Yeah.
Joseph WalkerGUEST
Yes, yes.

Joseph WalkerGUEST
It became known as Palo Saccharusia, the river of woe.
Joseph WalkerGUEST
And, uh, Just to look at this, to go through the geology, to go through the cult of death, you can see why the Greeks said this is one of the entryways to Hades.
Danielle OteriHOST
And, of course, modern Neapolitans are...
Danielle OteriHOST
I'm going to say obsessed with death.
Giuseppe LunaGUEST
Yeah, probably.
Giuseppe LunaGUEST
So, Neapolitan were very, um, funny people anyway, so they-
Lucas D'AquiHOST
Yeah
Giuseppe LunaGUEST
...
Lucas D'AquiHOST
Yeah
Giuseppe LunaGUEST

Giuseppe LunaGUEST
they, yeah, most of the plays are written in Neapolitans.
Giuseppe LunaGUEST
But also other regions have written other plays.
K. HandNARRATOR
The government of Turin held aloof from the expedition out of regard to foreign powers, who were indignant that the peace of Europe should be disturbed by a military adventurer, in their eyes half bandit and half sailor.
K. HandNARRATOR
Lord John Russell, however, in England, gave his encouragement and assistance by the directions given to Admiral Mundy, who interposed his ships between the Neapolitan cruisers and the soldiers of Garibaldi, then marching on the coast.
K. HandNARRATOR
France remained neutral, Austria had been crippled, and Prussia and Russia were too distant to care much about a matter which did not affect them.
K. HandNARRATOR
So, with his troop of well-selected men, Garibaldi succeeded in landing on the Sicilian shores.
K. HandNARRATOR
He at once issued his manifesto to the people and soon had the satisfaction to see his forces increased.
K. HandNARRATOR
He first came in contact with the Neapolitan troops among the mountains at Calatafimi and defeated them so that they retired to Palermo.
K. HandNARRATOR
The capital of Sicily could have been easily defended, but aided by a popular uprising, Garibaldi was soon master of the city and took up his quarters in the royal palace as dictator of Sicily, where he lived very quietly, astonishing the viceroy's servants by his plain dinners of soup and vegetables without wine.
K. HandNARRATOR
His wardrobe was then composed of two pairs of gray trousers, an old felt hat, two red shirts, and a few pocket handkerchiefs.
Kevin PhillipsHOST
What's the rest of you going to sing?
Erasmo AielloGUEST
Well, I'm going to sing some old Neapolitan songs, but this year I'm going to feature a Sicilian song.
Erasmo AielloGUEST
Mmm.
Erasmo AielloGUEST
It's new for here, but it's a very old Sicilian song that I grew up with.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Henry VII of England, at one time a refugee at the Breton court, resented the attack on the Duchess, and Ferdinand of Aragon took the opportunity of reclaiming Roussillon.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
At this time the king took the government into his own hands, but his mind was filled with far more brilliant and engaging projects than the putting down of these enemies, for in 1492 there arrived at his court Neapolitan princes who had been driven out of their own land by the tyrannical rule of their king, Ferdinand II.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
These now urged Charles to enforce his claims on the crown of Naples, claims which he had inherited by will from René of Anjou.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
The French had claims also on Milan, for Louis of Orléans, cousin and heir of Charles VIII, was the descendant of the Visconti rulers of Milan and looked upon the Sforza family as usurpers.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
At this time, the power in Milan was in the hands of Ludovico Sforza, the uncle of the rightful duke, Gian Galeazzo, whom Ludovico would not allow to be recognized, though he had in 1492 reached the age of twenty.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Gian Galeazzo, however, was married to the granddaughter of the king of Naples, and her family was determined to support her husband's claims to Milan.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
Ludovico recognized his danger from Naples and from France, so he decided to rid himself of both at once by supporting the exiled Neapolitan princes and urging Charles to enforce his right to the fine kingdom of Naples.
Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
The king was young, a fledgling from the nest, provided neither with money nor with good sense, weak, willful, and surrounded by foolish counselors, wrote Comin of Charles at this time.
Alkistis DimechGUEST
I think of this in terms of like an idea I've been playing with is that of the siren body.
Alkistis DimechGUEST
In the books of Enoch, they talk about one of the translations, I think the Greek Neapolitan speaks about how the wives of the angels that were led astray would become sirens.
Alkistis DimechGUEST
And it kind of means they're going to die, they're going to hell like the angels that went the wrong way.
Alkistis DimechGUEST
But there's also that sense that the imaginative realm and the mythic realm opens up into this world of endless transformations and metamorphosis, that you can become a creature beyond the human creature.
Chiara NicolettiHOST
S'è beccato pure il premio per-- della coda, quello per il film più brutto, quindi si sta prendendo gioie e dolori.
Chiara NicolettiHOST
Come sempre, per aver, lo dico in semi napoletano, ingarrato le sezioni.
Chiara NicolettiHOST
[musica ritmata] Freppy Radio, siamo sempre qui, sempre meno uno, The Soup of the Day, Chiara Nicoletti con gli Angelis.
Chiara NicolettiHOST
[risate] È arrivato il momento dopo il Toto Leone, sproloqui vari, congratulazioni, complimenti.
speaker_1HOST
Oh, definitely not.
speaker_0HOST
Instead, he says, take an old, forgotten Neapolitan canzonetta.
speaker_0HOST
You play it on the accordion, but you slow it down.
speaker_0HOST
You add a few flourishes like a defiant swagger, a compadrata, and suddenly it's not Italian anymore.
10 MINS LATER
speaker_1HOST
Someone whistles a tune in the street, it catches in your ear, and you just figure out how to play it.
speaker_0HOST
But then he gives the exact formula.
speaker_0HOST
He says, I take an old, forgotten Neapolitan canzonetta.
speaker_0HOST
I play it on the accordion, but I slow it down.
MarkHOST
So the, there are enormous lemons, uh, all along the coast, and of course, limoncello, uh, another typical drink of the area.
MarkHOST
And Neapolitan coffee, which is short, dark, and very strong, not like my Milchkaffee here in Salzburg, which is very nice, I have to say.
MarkHOST
And the streets hum with scooters and snatches of song.
MarkHOST
So scooters everywhere, and a city with its own song tradition.
Morgan ScorpionNARRATOR
There flourished at the time as Andrea and Silvio another sculptor of Yusolo, called Il Sicilia, who was a person of much skill, and a work by his hand may be seen in the church of San Jacopo, in the Campo Corbolini at Florence, namely the tomb of the Chevalier Messer Luigi Tornabuoni, which is much extolled, particularly because he made therein the escutcheon of that Chevalier in the form of a horse's head, as if to show, according to the ancient belief, that the shape of shields was originally taken from the head of a horse.
Morgan ScorpionNARRATOR
About the same time also, Antonio da Carrara, a very rare sculptor, made three statues in Palermo for the Duke of Monteleone, a Neapolitan of the house of Pignatella, and Viceroy of Sicily, namely three figures of Our Lady in different attitudes and manners, which were placed over three altars in the Duomo of Monteleone in Calabria.
Morgan ScorpionNARRATOR
For the same patron he made some scenes in marble, which are in Palermo.
Morgan ScorpionNARRATOR
He left behind him a son, who is also a sculptor at the present day, and no less excellent than was his father.
2 HRS 17 MINS LATER
Morgan ScorpionNARRATOR
At Naples, for Diomede Carafa, Bishop of Ariano and now a cardinal, he painted a panel picture of the stoning of St. Stephen for his chapel in San Domenico.
Morgan ScorpionNARRATOR
And for Monte Oliveto he painted another, which was placed on the high altar, although it was afterwards removed to make room for a new one, similar in subject, by the hand of Giorgio Vasari of Arezzo.
Morgan ScorpionNARRATOR
Leonardo earned large sums from these Neapolitan nobles, but he accumulated little, for he squandered it all as it came to his hand.
Morgan ScorpionNARRATOR
And finally he died in Naples, leaving behind him the reputation of having been a good colourist, but not of having shown much excellence in draughtsmanship.
