through strategies that foster intercultural dialogue
between European schools.
The objectives pursued are to develop the capacity to
identify and preserve cultural heritage, increase the
acceptance of cultural diversity, promoting democracy,
peace and tolerance, increase the preservation of cultural
heritage by bringing ancient crafts and customs back to
life, improve geographical, historical and architectural
knowledge about European Cities, increase the
understanding of linguistic and cultural similarities
between partner countries, increase the degree of
integration of cultural heritage in education by
interdisciplinary activities and implementing new optional
courses, improve language, ICT and cross curricular skills,
encourage pupils to develop critical thinking, strengthen
their independence and increase self-esteem, self-
confidence and sense of cooperation, and increase the
internationalization of the school by aligning with European
policies in the field of education and culture.
The main beneficiaries of the project are pupils of
partner schools, between the ages of 11 and 15 years and
teachers from Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy, Portugal
and Turkey whose experience and expertise in the field of
education will prove very valuable in the run-up of this
project.

Via Caracciolo is a part of the seafront of
Naples, the one that extends from Mergellina
to Santa Lucia. The street name celebrates
the admiral Neapolitan of the Royal
Bourbon Fleet Francesco Caracciolo.
Became supporter of the revolution of 1799.
At the beginning of the seafront, off
Sermoneta, we can admire the seventeenth-
century Sebeto fountain and continuing
along the street Caracciolo we see the port of
Mergellina. Later we can admire the elegant
buildings that you directly overlook the gulf
and then i gardens and trees of the Villa
Comunale, with the sound box, the fountains
and the Dohrn aquarium, the oldest in
Europe and to finish the Castel dell’Ovo.

CASTEL DELL’OVO
Castel dell’Ovo is the oldest castle of the city . Its
imposing structure stands out on the small
island of Megaride, connected to the mainland
by a road raised. The most fascinating story it's
definitely about the legend egg, which according
to the chronicles Neapolitan, was deposed by the
magician poet Virgil in the bowels of the castle,
prophesying that when the egg breaks, the whole
city would collapse. From this legend is the
name of Castel dell’Ovo.

AQUARIUM
The historic public aquarium was
inaugurated in 1874 and is the oldest still
working, designed for show ecosystems and
the biodiversity of the Gulf of Naples. The
its founder, the zoologist Anton Dohrn,
sought to supply and disseminate knowledge
of the world submarine. The journey inside
of the Aquarium will lead the visitor
discovering the sea, between caves and
ravines, along the prairies of posidonia,
passing from the coral to the abyss, from the
rocks Mediterranean to formations tropical.

 REAL
TEATRO SAN CARLO
The Real Teatro di San Carlo, also known as
Teatro di San Carlo or Teatro San Carlo, more
simply called San Carlo, is the opera house in
Naples. Founded in 1737, it is the oldest opera
house in the world still operating, and the first
Italian theatre to establish a school for dance.
Given its size, structure and antiquity, it was a
model for later theatres in Europe. It was the
symbol of a Naples that underlined its status as a
great European capital.

MUSEO DI
CAPODIMONTE
The marvellous Real Bosco di Capodimonte
offers its citizens the opportunity to relax in
large green spaces, spread over 134 hectares
with more than 400 different plant species
planted over two centuries, and to breathe
clean air. The park, which also includes the
Royal Palace of the same name - now a
museum - was used since 1735 for the hunting
activities of Charles III of Spain.

Myth of the Parthenope siren

The origins of the city of Naples are linked to myth of the Parthenope
siren. Homer in the Odyssey he tells us a Story of univocal love e
duration the time of a look: that between the siren Parthenope and
Ulysses. Partenope is approaching to the hero linked to the mast of the
ship to hear the sweet song of sirens. The two looked at each other for a
long time and moving moment, but Partenope, rejected, was destined to
die.
Her body is lifeless it was brought by sea currents to the islet of Megaride
in the place where today Castel dell’Ovo stands. Here the body of
Partenope dissolved, taking the shape of the city of Naples: her head
became the hill of Capodimonte and the her tail settled down the hill of
Posillipo.

gether form the Turkish Straits) demarcate the boundary between Thrace
