Le Renard invite la Cigogne à dîner, mais il lui sert un bouillon très liquide dans une assiette plate. Avec son long bec, la Cigogne ne peut rien attraper, tandis que le Renard lape tout en un instant. Pour se venger poliment, la Cigogne invite à son tour le Renard. Elle sert la nourriture dans une fiole à col étroit et long : son bec y entre facilement, mais le museau du Renard reste bloqué. Le Renard repart la faim au ventre, pris à son propre piège.

The wedding day

Nel cuore del Rione Sanità, Napoli custodisce uno dei luoghi più affascinanti e inquietanti della sua storia: il Cimitero delle Fontanelle.
In questa terza parte de La Napoli esoterica, entriamo in un mondo dove morte e devozione si intrecciano. Dalle antiche origini greche fino alle grandi epidemie di peste e colera, questo luogo è diventato un immenso ossario che racconta tragedie collettive e memoria popolare.
Scopriremo il culto delle anime pezzentelle, la tradizione delle capuzzelle adottate dai napoletani, le targhe con scritto “per grazia ricevuta” e il mistero dell’essudazione, interpretata come segno capace di portare protezione e fortuna secondo la credenza popolare.
Al centro di tutto, la figura di Donna Concetta, il teschio più famoso, simbolo di fede, leggenda e devozione.
Un viaggio tra storia, spiritualità e mistero, dove Napoli mostra il suo volto più profondo: quello in cui la morte non è fine, ma parte viva della cultura e dell’anima della città.


A Michela...


In the heart of Naples’ Rione Sanità, one of the city’s most fascinating and haunting places lies hidden: the Fontanelle Cemetery.
In this third episode of Esoteric Naples, we explore a world where death and devotion merge. From its ancient Greek origins to the devastating plagues and cholera epidemics, this site became a vast ossuary, preserving the memory of collective tragedy.
We uncover the cult of the “anime pezzentelle”, the tradition of adopting skulls (capuzzelle), the plaques reading “for a grace received”, and the mystery of condensation on the skulls, believed to bring protection and luck according to popular belief.
At the center stands Donna Concetta, the most famous skull, symbol of faith, legend and popular devotion.
A journey through history, spirituality and mystery, where Naples reveals its deepest truth: death is not an end, but a living part of its culture and soul.
