Umberto GalleryOn the way to reach San Severo Chapel, we took a break in Galleria Umberto, where the students bought food and drinks, took pictures or just sat at the tables of the Cafeteria to rest.

We went out from San Severo and moved to a restaunt, where at last we could eat a Neapolitan pizza.

We finished our lunch at 3 and the teachers let us have 20 minutes of “freedom” before coming back to Rome. A lot of

us went to the closest confectioner's to buy typical Neapolitan specialities like Babà, Zeppole, Pastiera and

Sfogliatelle; other students went to buy some souvenirs for themselves and their families, or to walk along the

beautiful streets of Naples.

At 3:40 we reached the coach and left for Rome at about 4.During the journey, some students chatted, some sang,

some listened to music, took pictures or slept.More than 3,30 hours later, the coach stopped in front of

our school, in Rome. We thanked the driver and the teachers and came back home.
