==History==<br />
===Napoli===<br />
Being over 2,800 years old, Naples has its roots in Greek settlements that were founded during the 6th century B.C.E. Throughout its existence, ownership of the city changed numerous times and went from Romand to Goths and back.<br />
In the Middle Ages, the Normans took control of the city and managed to remain in power for 300 years, despite the leaders and nobles fighting over the ownership amongst themselves. French rule over Naples started in 1501 under King Louis XII. However, it only lasted until 1505, when Spain, led by King Ferdinand, seized power. Under Spanish rule, Naples became one of Europe's biggest cities.<br />
