About Naples![]() ![]() ![]() Image: Producer Samnites from south central Italy took the city and the region of Campania in 400 BC. In 326 BC Rome seized it from the Samnites and allowed the Greek population great autonomy. The city has continued to play an important role throughout much of its existence. From 1816 - 1860 it was the capital of the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily. Today Naples has a population of almost 1 million inhabitants, about 3 million people live in the greater urban metropolitan area (Italian: Area metropolitana di Napoli). Official language is Italian, but Neapolitan (napulitano) is the language of the city and region of Naples.
