Naples is a city in which a strong illegality and a strong morality live together almost as a paradox, a city rich in history and also of legends, sometimes ostentatious, sometimes hidden and precisely this side so secret and intimate is what fascinates us more and more. We have repeatedly gone underground to tell you about an ancient Naples, a Naples that jealously preserves centuries of history, the succession of peoples and dominations, the infection of ingenuity and genius. Today we reveal to you another secret of the city of contrasts: welcome to the <strong>fontanelle cemetery.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are in the <strong>Sanit\u00e0 district, a<\/strong> place better known for the sad events of black news than for the history that over the centuries has crossed these <em>alleys;<\/em> in fact at the entrance of the fountain cemetery there are not many people, some family tourists, some students, certainly not the usual group of Germans or Japanese armed with expensive SLRs.<\/p>\n<p>This place of about 3000sqm is quiet, humid and the lights are low, warm, some places almost dark. There is silence and a respectful and sacred atmosphere. The scenery that opens up in front of our eyes is very suggestive. Skulls and bones everywhere, positioned neatly and precisely. But to whom do they belong and why is <strong>the fountain cemetery born?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"13301\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.beboheme.com\/en\/fontanelle-cemetery-10\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4315.jpg?fit=4032%2C3024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4032,3024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Fontanelle Cemetery 10\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4315.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4315.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13301\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4315.jpg?resize=1100%2C825&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fontanelle Cemetery 10\" width=\"1100\" height=\"825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4315.jpg?w=4032&amp;ssl=1 4032w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4315.jpg?resize=750%2C563&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4315.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4315.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4315.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4315.jpg?resize=1170%2C878&amp;ssl=1 1170w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4315.jpg?w=2200&amp;ssl=1 2200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4315.jpg?w=3300&amp;ssl=1 3300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>]Originally, what is now called by the <em>Neapolitans &#8220;cemetery of the capuzzelle&#8221; <\/em><em><strong>(the capuzzelle<\/strong><\/em> in Naples are precisely the skulls), it was a quarry from which the Neapolitan yellow tuff that was used for construction was extracted.

guarded in marble display cases or in more humble biscuit boxes. They are ecided first name, surname given&#8230; this is because the Neapolitan people, especially in the post-war period, used to adopt one of these skulls without identity and give it a dignified burial, almost as if they were ex-vow by grace received. Everyone chose their own skull, cleaned it up, looked after it until it revealed its identity in a dream, becoming the protector of the one who had taken care of it. Another belief, for which an &#8220;accommodation&#8221; was offered to the skull, was that the soul, if cared for in the right way, could give the winning numbers to the lot in a dream. But if that didn&#8217;t happen, well then you would change skulls and hoping it would be the winning one. Rosaries, cigarette butts, ink-written marks on the skull were the signs of that soul&#8217;s reservation. That&#8217;s why the Cardinal of Naples forbade his cult, now on the edge of superstition, in 1969.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13350\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4324.jpg?resize=1100%2C825&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fontanelle Cemetery 6\" width=\"1100\" height=\"825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4324.jpg?w=4032&amp;ssl=1 4032w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4324.jpg?resize=750%2C563&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4324.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4324.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4324.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4324.jpg?resize=1170%2C878&amp;ssl=1 1170w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4324.jpg?w=2200&amp;ssl=1 2200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_4324.jpg?w=3300&amp;ssl=1 3300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the countless amount of skulls and bones, what strikes are some things in particular;<\/p>\n<p>In the dim light, just illuminated by a faint beam of light, a headless statue, the statue of St. Vincent Ferrer.
