It's now Day 24 and Roberts is on the move again, travelling from Rome to Naples by fast train.

Throughout the 20th century, Naples had problems with high unemployment and deep-rooted organised crime, with further destruction caused by a massive earthquake in 1980. However, in recent decades, and especially since Covid the city has been completely regenerated and today is a thriving hub of culture and history, with any number of spectacular monuments to show for its legendary past.

Leave what you've heard at the door, forget the fears of crime and mugging, you can forget Sodom, forget even the Camorra, because the best things to do in Naples showcase a post Covid city enjoying a renaissance.

Times are changing in Italy’s third most populous city. Naples is undergoing a massive renaissance, shedding its rogue reputation for violence and organised crime, embracing its many charms instead.

And the best things to do in Naples all involve getting cosy with the place, a city with history oozing from every one of its historic pores. That history is most palpable in its ‘Vicoli’ the narrow streets and in the restaurants, pizzerias and bars that dot the city.

Naples has seen a lot, but that gives it a story to tell; it might just be Italy’s most authentic city.

Naples, "sempre magical, sempre misteriosa !"

“80 DAYS” Series

In ’80 DAYS’, starting from his home base of Sydney adventurer and Award winning film maker Paul G Roberts, retraces the global footsteps of Phileas Fogg, hero of Jules Verne’s most famous work, “Around the World in 80 Days”, and this time around Roberts does a deep dive on history, art and culture of the cities he visits, and he captures and records his global adventures for a new 80 Episode TV series.

Making an Award winning film is no small feat.

Usually it takes a great story, a team of highly skilled artisans. Writers, producers, a great director, editors, actors and usually a pile of money.
And even then it takes a decent amount of luck and a lot of dedication for it to realise the promise it had on paper.
There are a million things that can derail the project.

The degree of difficulty is amplified many times over when it has ambitions to become a series.

But for one person to attempt to all of this solo, is for most experts just insanity.

In this new 80 episode solo Round the World Series, Award winning filmmaker and travel lover Paul G Roberts is the writer, director, producer, star, presenter, camera / sound / lighting / drone cam operator.
