Naples has plenty of them, but there was once an even greater number, as going to the cinema used to be one of Neapolitans' favourite pastimes. Nowadays, unfortunately, with the arrival of pay-per-view television such as Sky, Netflix and Mediaset Premium, young people especially prefer to choose the film, TV series or documentary to watch, enjoying it comfortably at home.
