Descrizione

Visiting and exploring Naples, Italy, and its surrounding area has, for centuries, been a must for anyone who wants to increase their own sense of culture and history. Since the fourteenth century the best minds of their times have searched the Naples area for the countless mythical places made ​​eternal by Lycophron, Virgil, Ovid, Horace, Statius, Suetonius, and Tacitus. And, indeed, traces of these fabled sites still remain to be seen and touched today.

By the seventeenth century an ever increasing number of travelers from the rest of Italy and across Europe created an urgent need for an accurate and detailed "guide" for tourists. Thus was born the tourist guidebook, with many editions written by well traveled scholars and ultimately translated into many languages. These early works remain valuable resources for scholars today.

And now we introduce: iTour Na, a multimedia, GPS enabled digital guidebook app for the iPhone, iTouch and iPad which is grafted onto the ancient tradition of providing detailed and useful guidebooks to the traveler. But today, on the screen of your mobile device is a digital feast of information for tourists wanting to experience a truly unique journey of discovery of Naples and the fascinating area that surrounds it.

In the palm of you hand, iTour Na provides insightful, accurate text descriptions and history, photos and videos in glorious color, and a geo-location feature with maps overlaid with point-to-point driving information to reach each site.

The iTour Na app allows you to search for a location by name or description of the site and narrow your search to a radius you define from your actual location.

And again, following the tradition of the Grand Tour back when the visiting European intellectuals took notes, wrote memoirs, and letters detailing the marvels they had just discovered, you can also take all the notes you want. With iTour Na the touch of a finger opens a blank note page ready for you to type in your impressions and observations, and then, if you want, email your notes, on the spot, back to friends and family!

iTour Na is designed to provide updated information to the user by a touch of the "update" tab. The hours of operation, special holiday closures or openings of sites and other information is easy to update. And you may select how many sites you want to see or keep stored on your personal device.

Our app’s unique design graphics capture the feel of an old notebook with yellowed pages full of fleeting notes, pencil sketches, photos and scraps scattered in seeming disorder. iTour Na is a delight to explore intuitively and quickly learn to use.

Finally, the iTour Na development team in Naples is eager to share the delights of our famous historic area with you. Ours is a genuine, personal desire, almost an imperative, for those who use the application to, as we say in Neapolitan, "aià turnà!" (You have to come back!).
