Naples is one of Italy’s most vibrant cities. Now, tourists are challenged to give up ‘old school’ landmarks like Pompeii and Herculaneum and discover the city's criminal notorious ‘Cosa Nostra’.

The 'Illegal Naples Tour' invites travelers to take a walk around the capital of the Camorra mafia in order to check out the less glamorous streets and alleys of the Mediterranean port awash with prostitutes, pimps and pickpockets.

"Naples is heaven and hell at the same time," Antonio Alfano, the head of the No Comment non-profit organisation that came up with the idea of the tour, told The Daily Telegraph.

The challenge was reportedly to highlight what was described as an "emergency" of criminality in the city.

"It's very unusual in Europe to have such extreme poverty at the heart of a major city. You don't find it in Rome or Berlin or Paris," Alfano added.
The tour gives travelers carte-blanche: they is invited to download a map of the route from the organisation's website, and chose to go where their heart calls them.

The tour organizers promise, the daredevil tourists will be safe during their ‘crime-related’ walk lasting about two hours.

"The last thing these people want to do is catch the attention of the police by harming curious foreign tourists. As long as you are discreet and don't wave a camera around too much, you'll be fine," Alfano explained.

A enterprising travel agent should book look at the Jewish Mafia tours in Tel Aviv, Apartheid Israel. Wind thru the depraved, filthy brothels and visit the world's largest human trafficking auctions followed by bus trips to each of the FOUR Jewish Mafia Don's residing in, you guessed it, Tel Aviv, Apartheid Israel.

Most Americans remember the Jewish Mafia Don's Hymen Roth who was apparently deeply linked to the Jewish Mafia corruption in the Casino's in Las Vegas and in Cuba (under Batista, kicked out under Castro) and 'Buggsy Segal' among other Jewish Crime family (Mafia) figures.

Many perhaps RIGHTLY allege the Jewish Mafia used both the Mossad and FBI to expose and eliminate many of the Italian Mafia bosses and familys and by doing so have eliminated their competition for the same trafficking of women,children and drugs.

A optional side tour by the Italian Mafia Tour should visit the Vatican Bank as both the Italian and Jewish Mafia familys are widely alleged to fully use the Vatican Bank to launder Billions in drug and human trafficking revenues which explains why the Vatican Bank is under so many non-compliance complaints by Eu-Bank Regulators who are used to seeing Italian and Jewish Mafia money laundering techniques used in Eu-Banks so the Vatican Bank joining the Eu-Zone and Euro Currency must comply with weeding those evil elements OUT but apparently having a great deal of trouble in doing so.

The Mafia Tour should pass by the Pope's home also as the Pope appears to always come into a conversation regarding the Italian Mafia, Money Laundering, Human Trafficking and exploiting young women and children for physical pleasure and abuse.

I don't know what mafia they mean. There are a lot of people in PA and those neighborhoods are clean and safe. A mafia family may have influence in that area, but that doesn't mean the place is dirty because of it. We are always told in America that many black neighborhoods are bad because of a circumstances beyond their control, not because of criminal elements who control them or crime. Why is it different in Italy, when the criminal element happens to be white-skinned?
