The chaos in the center of Naples is beyond incredible. Take the funicular to the Vomero hill and it’s like another world; the chaos, dirt and ugliness is left behind. The cobblestone boulevards lined by trees, beautiful palazzos and chic cafés are still spiced with the crazy traffic.

Vomero socks are knit toe up with a fleegle heel. The leaf pattern begins from the toe and runs up to the cuff while the rest of the instep and the leg are covered by the cobblestone pattern.
