According
to his wishes, the tomb of the poet is in Naples and now is positioned behind
the Church of St. Maria di Piedigrotta, next to the “Crypta Neapolitana” (Neapolitan
Crypt). The exact position is historically uncertain because according to
ancient historians it should be two miles away from the “Porta Cumana” (Cumana
Entrance), i.e. at the spot where the “Villa Comunale” (public park) stands
today.
