Somewhere in the middle of the list is Naples, though not the one an Italian-American reader would think of first: it is the Naples on the Gulf Coast of Florida. It is one of twenty towns that Condé Nast Traveler gathered this summer under the title
The 20 Most Beautiful Towns in the World for Every Type of Traveler: the list runs from Burford in England to Siwa in Egypt, and at the head of it, above Biei in Japan and Baños in Ecuador, the magazine put Praiano, a town on the Amalfi Coast that most people who have driven that road went straight through, on their way from Positano to Amalfi.
