Naples is not only urbs sanguinum, the city of blood, due to the incredible number of ampoules and vials containing the blood of saints and blessed persons, but it is also the city of witness-martyrs, of ordinary people who, in their daily lives, live for truth and love. These are “witnesses” who make the City of God and the city of men "sanguine".
