context_page_description: Vomero is a hilltop district of downtown Naples, Italy, with an area of approximately two square kilometers and a population of 48,000.
  With its prominent hilltop location, Vomero is noted for the medieval fortress, Castel Sant'Elmo; its three funiculars connecting to adjacent historic districts — and its vantage, overlooking greater Naples, Mount Vesuvius, the Bay of Naples and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
  The quarter borders Arenella, Soccavo, Fuorigrotta, Chiaia, Montecalvario and Avvocata. Streets are named after noted Neopolitan painters, sculptors, composers and architects — prominent at the time of the quarter's initial development.
  Once primarily agricultural, Vomero is now heavily urbanized. Residents go by the demonym Vomeresi. The highest point of the neighborhood is the Certosa di San Martino with an altitude of 251 metres.
  Questa contrada detta il Vomere è ricca di monasteri e di bellissime casine per essere l'aria salutifera avendo un aspetto al mare
