Field notes

Southern Italy's largest city — meaningfully different cultural texture than Rome or Milan. Quartieri Spagnoli (the dense walkable historic core) and Vomero (the residential alternative on the hill above the bay) are the typical nomad anchors. Italian Digital Nomad Visa applies (launched April 2024, ~€28k/yr income, 1-year renewable). The structural draws are pizza-history (Pizza Margherita was invented here in 1889; the Naples pizza is UNESCO-listed), Vesuvius and Pompeii on the doorstep, and rents that run ~40% below Rome or Milan. The structural friction is Naples's reputation — chaos and disorder are real (Camorra historic context, but practical day-to-day is fine in nomad neighborhoods).

Mediterranean (Southern Italy) — meaningfully warmer and drier than the northern Italian peers. Winter (December–February, 9–10°C average) is mild and rainy. Summer (June–August, 23–26°C average, peaks above 35°C) is hot dry but moderated by the sea breeze. Sea-water temperatures stay swimmable May–October. The structural climate risk is the volcanic geology — Vesuvius is dormant but still active.
