In this mega episode of The Strange History Podcast, we uncover how ancient Greeks founded Neapolis, how Rome turned Naples into a luxury retreat, how the city survived the Eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE, and how Byzantines, Lombards, Normans, French dynasties, Spanish rulers, Bourbons, and modern armies all fought to control it. We also cover Frederick II, Masaniello, the plague of 1656, Napoleon Bonaparte, Italian unification, and the heroic Four Days of Naples during World War II. This is the story of a city everyone conquered—and no one truly owned.
