The one upside to Napoli traffic being gridlocked is that if you have the experience and the gonads you can just get out and walk through it.

With regard to the signs, Via Columbo refers to one Christopher Columbus, in English. Via Acton's full name is Via Ammiraglio Ferdinando Acton, or Admiral Ferdinando Acton, an Italian naval officer who lived between 1832 and 1891. Acton doesn't sound very Italiano, no? Indeed; his grandfather was General Joseph Edward Acton, who was British but who transported himself to Italia along with his brother, Sir John Acton.

Aside: General Joseph Acton's eldest daughter was Mary Ann Acton... who married her uncle Sir John. It required a papal dispensation given the closeness of the relationship. This occurred when he was 63, and she was...13. They had 3 children; a son when she was 14, another son when she was 16, and a daughter when she was 19. They did things differently back in the day.
