I was born and raised in Naples, but unfortunately due to certain people, the mentality, the lack of entertainment, and most importantly opportunities, I had to leave Naples for London, far from my parents. This is a city that rejects those who are born there. Don't pay attention to the positive reviews given to this city, it's either locals who are excessively patriotic or people who only visit for vacation. Living there is real hell, especially for open-minded, entrepreneurial people. The people in that city are racist, homophobic, and vulgar. Even in the most beautiful neighborhoods, the city tends to be run-down, dirty, and filled with garbage on the streets, with broken roads full of potholes. In the evening, unless you have a group of friends to hang out with, you can't do much and above all, you can't be yourself. With this, I tell everyone who ever wants to visit it, to never engage with the inhabitants of that city as 80% of them will only be racist or homophobic always quick to judge others. The only positive aspects of that city are the food and the scenery, nothing more.
Pros

great food
Cons
Close-minded, racist and homophobic city dwellers
dirty city
classist people
closed-minded residents
no jobs
poorly kept ghastly schools
university with outdated study methods

Naples is full of entertainment, this city has everything in Europe from any point of view (except for work). It is definitely safer than Milan, and offers more entertainment than cities like Bologna, Turin. Yet, you have given it almost zero in entertainment. In my opinion, hearsay has clouded your judgement!
