Hospital Area, Naples
A hospital is a health care institution providing patient treatment with specialized health science and auxiliary healthcare staff and medical equipment. The best-known type of hospital is the general hospital, which typically has an emergency department to treat urgent health problems ranging from fire and accident victims to a sudden illness. A district hospital typically is the major health care facility in its region, with many beds for intensive care and additional beds for patients who need long-term care. Specialized hospitals include trauma centers, rehabilitation hospitals, children's hospitals, seniors' (geriatric) hospitals, and hospitals for dealing with specific medical needs such as psychiatric treatment (see psychiatric hospital) and certain disease categories. Specialized hospitals can help reduce health care costs compared to general hospitals. Hospitals are classified as general, specialty, or government depending on the sources of income received.

Naples Metro
The Naples Metro ( it, Metropolitana di Napoli; nap, Metrupulitana 'e Napule) is the rapid transit system serving the city of Naples, Italy. The system comprises three underground rapid transit lines ( Line 1, Line 6 and the Naples-Aversa Metro). History In 1911, construction on the urban section of the Rome–Formia–Naples railway, the Villa Literno–Napoli Gianturco railway was commenced, and although it was suspended for the duration of World War I, the line was eventually opened on 28 September 1925 as an urban railway service line, the first in Italy. This service is now known as Line 2. After World War II, the existing Circumvesuviana railway was upgraded to a modern commuter rail, and also the Cumana railway became relevant for the commuter transport. In 1962, the Circumflegrea railway was opened. Construction of the first underground metro railway ( Line 1) began in 1976, and the first part opened on 28 March 1993. Initially called the ''Metropolitana Collina ...

However the ''Commissione Comunale dei Trasporti'' (Municipal Transportation Commission) decided to investigate alternative possibilities to a funicular line. After several years of discussions, in 1966, the EAV proposed the construction of a metro system ...

Rione Alto
Rione Alto is a district of Naples, built at the turn of the 1960s and 70s in the Arenella district, near the hospital area. Etymology and history It owes its name to the fact that it is located in the highest (in Italian, ''alto'') part of the Vomero hill, a very sparsely populated rural area until the mid-twentieth century, built in an imposing way only in the sixties, when the spaces in Vomero ran out, the restriction of inability to build around the Giovanni Pascale hospital was circumvented, thus making possible one of the most profitable speculative interventions in the urban history of Naples, determined by the very high increase in value acquired by the building areas of the Rione Alto. The entrepreneur and engineer Corrado Ferlaino talked about the construction of the neighborhood in an interview: Urban planning The structure of the Rione Alto is mainly made up of a network of rather narrow streets, resulting from the small spaces left free between the variou ...

Logo Metropolitane Italia
A logo (abbreviation of logotype; ) is a graphic mark, emblem, or symbol used to aid and promote public identification and recognition. It may be of an abstract or figurative design or include the text of the name it represents as in a wordmark. In the days of hot metal typesetting, a logotype was one word cast as a single piece of type (e.g. "The" in ATF Garamond), as opposed to a Typographic ligature, ligature, which is two or more letters joined, but not forming a word. By extension, the term was also used for a uniquely set and arranged typeface or colophon (publishing), colophon. At the level of mass communication and in common usage, a company's logo is today often synonymous with its trademark or brand.Wheeler, Alina.

Soccavo
250px, Urban sprawl in Soccavo. Soccavo is a western quarter of Naples, with a population of about 45,000. Geography Soccavo (Italian: "beneath the quarry") is bounded on one side by the area of Fuorigrotta and on the other by the Camaldoli hill. At the base of the hill is an historic quarry, which gives its name to the area. History The area appears to have been colonised by Greeks in the 4th or 5th century BC. It stayed under Greek control until the Roman conquest of 326 BC, upon which it came under the religious influence of Puteoli (now Pozzuoli); to this day Soccavo is part of the diocese of Pozzuoli and not Naples. It began to expand during the 1920s, when it was included within the administrative limits of Naples and started to develop as a residential neighborhood. Famous residents Fabio Cannavaro, captain of the 2006 World Cup-winning Italian football team, was born in the district, along with his younger brother Paolo Cannavaro Paolo Cannavaro (; born 26 June 1981) ...
