On the trails of Poles in Naples 

This guide was created by members of Polonia To My: Patryk Pawłowski, Kamil Szafirowski, Rebecca Gergess, Luca Pałka, and Zofia Mielcuch.
We hope that our work makes the reading not only interesting but also useful.

The project was carried out in collaboration with the “Institute for the Polish Community” Association in Naples and the Consular and Polish Affairs Department of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Rome, funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through resources dedicated to the Polish diaspora, within the framework of cooperation with the Polish community in Italy.

The initiative originated from Polish diaspora projects developed during workshops at the 2nd Congress of Polish Youth in Italy.

It is a project aimed at rediscovering Polish roots and highlighting the achievements of Poles in Naples.
The initiative was carried out through various activities, including lectures and meetings with lecturers from the L’Orientale University of Naples and a study trip to Naples.
