Elena Ferrante Tour (My Brilliant Friend)

Overview

Elena Ferrante’s four novels of the series “My Brilliant Friend” has become an international literary phenomenon. For passionate Ferrante readers we do make tours through Naples by following Lila’s and Elena’s traces. We will take you first to the difficult working class suburbia where the girls grew up. Then you will be walking through the other neighborhoods that they meet and know by going to school, by working in a library and in the shoe shop, along their walks with friends. Such meetings show them how different the reality can be from the one they knew since their childhood, and how deep social differences can be and divide people from each other. While telling about Lila’s and Elena’s stories, your guide will show you several corners of Naples out of the beaten path: for this reason this tour is ideal to discover such a controversial city, that is never foreseen or expected but always surprising in its good and bad aspects.
