Naples has put a temporary traffic plan in place for the San Gennaro procession on Saturday 19 September, affecting streets around Piazza degli Artisti.

The measures run from 12:00 to 22:00, or until operational requirements end.

What changes:

  • Parking and stopping are prohibited in all parking spaces in Piazza degli Artisti.
  • The same parking and stopping ban applies to both sides of Via Giuseppe Recco.
  • It also applies to the section of Via Marcello Casale de Bustis between Piazza degli Artisti and number 21.
  • Pedestrian passage is prohibited in the central avenue of Piazza degli Artisti, between the two semicircular flowerbeds.
  • Piazza degli Artisti includes a reserved stopping area for vehicles used for non-scheduled public transport.
  • During the final fireworks display, vehicle traffic is prohibited in Piazza degli Artisti, Via Giuseppe Recco and the affected section of Via Marcello Casale de Bustis.

The restrictions concern the Piazza degli Artisti area. The available information does not specify alternative driving routes or public-transport diversions, nor does it establish that these measures cover the full religious procession route.

San Gennaro is the patron of Naples and Campania, and the associated solemn rites include celebrations in Naples Cathedral.
