Moving to Naples / Campania
— what we know about it
Naples is the corridor where Italian-heritage moves dominate. UK households with Neapolitan family roots — typically second or third generation post-war emigration descendants — make up a substantial share of our Naples-bound work. The volume from Manchester and Glasgow particularly is meaningful, given the Italian-Catholic community networks in those UK cities.
Naples's housing stock is varied: the historic centre (Quartieri Spagnoli, Centro Storico, Forcella) with dense medieval street network and substantial pedestrian-only zones; the Vomero hill quarter with mid-century apartment blocks and good access; Chiaia and Posillipo with high-end coastal residential; the working-class belt of Fuorigrotta, Bagnoli, and the eastern outskirts. ZTL controls on the Centro Storico and parts of Chiaia mean permit booking is standard practice.
The Campania coast — Sorrento, Positano, Praiano, Amalfi, Ravello — is one of Italy's most logistically demanding destinations. The Amalfi Drive (SS163) is narrow, mountainous, and with limited turning space; full-size moving lorries cannot reach most Amalfi-coast properties directly. We transfer to a smaller 4×4 vehicle at a sensible point (typically Vietri or Positano main square) and finish the last mile by smaller transport. Capri requires ferry transfer plus small-vehicle delivery — we coordinate the boat firm in Naples or Sorrento.
The wider Campania region extends to Caserta (the Bourbon palace city north of Naples), Salerno (modern coastal city south), the Cilento national park (rural southern Campania), and the agricultural inland (Avellino, Benevento, Irpinia wine country). Each follows standard Italian paperwork protocols at the relevant provincial Questura.

ZTL permit booked through the Comune di Napoli a week ahead; small-van shuttle for the pedestrian-only sections around Spaccanapoli.
