Anyway, I was going to just go out nearby, but then I realised it was an "Ecological Sunday" where vehicles aren't allowed to circulate from 9-13 in order to try and clear the air a bit. Consequently Naples was PEACEFUL this morning so I ventured a little further than initially intended. Yes, you read right, "peaceful" and "Naples" used in one sentence! How nice it was. No motorinos up your a**e, no risk taking when crossing the road...Bliss. Viva domenica Ecologica!
Of course though, the particularly *furbi* (sly?) people just have to take their cars out. I'm not sure if they just don't get the idea or didn't know about it (unlikely as it's normally the end of every month that it's done) or maybe they have some really really important thing to do.
A photo from this morning.

I've never seen a street in Naples before without the usual 3 million cars and 2 million motos trying for the same 1 meter spot.
That looks awesome. I think I'll have to plan an end of the month Sunday visit to Naples sometime just to experience this :)
Great photo! It was also nice today in Torino . I think the air actually did smell better too, or maybe that was just wishful thinking? Viva la domenica ecologica!
Wow "Ecological Sunday"... They should do that here in the UK!
I refuse to believe that that is a street in Napoli! lol
That is how the streets looked during the World Cup games last July. During not After!!!
via Luca Giordano is very near where I live........and, guess what, I was on a "giro" too yesterday. I bet we've met, the heart of vomero is not that big, you know.

I've never heard of domenica ecologica. Do we have that in Catanzaro? If so - no one follows it... :-(
I like the part about being to cross the street safely...not a normal luxury!
Cherrye how many people lives in Catanzaro?
I think it's just done in the smoggiest cities where there's a need to clear the air. Hopefully Catanzaro isn't that bad.
