Specialist Notes

The Sebeto River was dear to Neapolitans and was venerated as the city's protective river deity . Its cult was intertwined with that of Parthenope, becoming deeply rooted in Neapolitan identity. For this reason, although it has now disappeared, it has remained a mythical symbol of Naples' historical and cultural memory.
