Among all the eremites who over the centuries retreated on the Mount Epomeo, the story of Giuseppe d’Arguth or Nargouth is certainly particular. It started on the Castle, which the Flemish was the governor and the garrison Commanding Captain of until 1754, when he decided to leave his prestigious responsibilities in order to change life and become anchorite on the top of Punta Verde which dominates the island.
The imagination of the contemporary traveler gets lost in the alleys, after crossing Piazza del Plebiscito, touching the Royal Palace, the San Carlo Theater, and Via Toledo, aiming here and there at the surprising green patches of Capodimonte, the vegetable gardens and the Posillipine parks and the coastal cliffs of yellow tuff.
