Clothes hanging out to dry in via dei Tribunali in Naples.
The characteristic alley in the historic center of Naples decorated with clothes hanging out to dry (especially in the initial part of the street) that go from one building to the one in front.
At this point it is clearly a gimmick to welcome tourists but (as also happens in Genoa) in the alleys of the historic centers they are often seen and are actually used to hang out clothes.

Today the decumanus maggiore is one of the most important streets in the historic center of Naples (declared a World Heritage Site in 1995) and corresponds to today's via dei Tribunali, still following the ancient Greek road axis entirely. Precisely because it is a road structure originating from ancient Greece, it would be more appropriate to speak of plateia and not of "decumanus", a name from the Roman era that by convention has replaced the original.
