Editing Naples (section)

== History ==
Naples was founded by Greek settlers in antiquity and was later known by the Greek name Neapolis. It became part of Roman rule in the fourth century BC and remained an important urban centre in southern Italy.

During the medieval and early modern periods, Naples was ruled by several regional and foreign dynasties. It became the capital of the [[Kingdom of Naples]] and later a major city of the [[Kingdom of the Two Sicilies]]. After Italian unification, it became part of the [[Kingdom of Italy]] and later the Italian Republic.

Naples remained one of the main cities of southern Italy because of its port, regional administration, university life, and position on the Tyrrhenian coast. The area around the city includes [[Mount Vesuvius]] and the Campi Flegrei.
