Rick Steves’ Europe: Naples' 'bella chaos'
I sit on a bench to survey the scene. An older man with a sloppy slice of pizza joins me. Moments later, a stylish couple on a bike rolls by — she sits on the handlebars, giggling as she faces her man, hands around his neck as he cranes to see where they’re going.
I say, “Bella Italia.”
My bench mate says, “No, bella Napoli.”
I say, “Napoli . . . is both beautiful and a city of chaos.”
He agrees, but insists, “Bella chaos.”
I agree, “Beautiful chaos.”
