Forget about Turin, Italy’s so-called “city of magic.” Instead, focus on Naples. The intriguing book “Partenope degli spiriti” (Rome: Viella, 2024), edited by Francesco Paolo de Ceglia, persuasively argues that Naples is the heart of Italian miracles, spiritualism, and esotericism.
This volume explores the city’s rich spiritual heritage and wonders, addressing topics ranging from religion and esotericism to magic and social history. It details the various religious, paranormal, and esoteric events that have shaped Naples since the 17th century.
