Of course, there is the DUOMO in Milan.
Then, there is the greatest author, living or dead, of all time periods, of the East or the West: DANTE.
I so regret that I didn't take pictures of all the DOLCI that I ate in Naples, but when I first arrived I had no idea how famous Naples was for its sweets, nor how many of them I would eat in the span of three days. Neverthless, the cream-filled sfogliatelle were melt-in-your-mouth delicious, as was the zeppola, a specialty for father's day. The biggest surprise was the baba'. It was described to me as soft inside, and from the looks of it, I was expecting something like angel food cake. Well, I took a bite and -- SURPRISE! -- it is a soft cake infused with rum. Now, that is the way to start your morning -- rum cake and espresso. No wonder I liked Naples so much!
In lieu of a picture of the DOLCI, here is something that Naples is even more famous for, its pizza. This is my favorite, a pizza quattro stagioni (artichokes, prosciutto, mozzarella cheese, and mushrooms). And, yes, this pizza is for one person.
One other note: Naples is also known for its fried antipasti. Try this one when you need some comfort food: fried balls of macaroni. Just a little rich.
