Twenty centuries of opera and the Catholic hierarchy. Naples's most distinctive shelf is prelate at nearly ten times the global rate — the cardinals and archbishops of one of Christendom's oldest sees — alongside a composer column built around the 18th-century Neapolitan opera school of Pergolesi, Cimarosa, and Paisiello. The notable births stretch from the late Republic to the present, with an unusually heavy 17th- and 18th-century tail when the Bourbon court made Naples one of the largest cities in Europe.
One face per century — the most globally famous figure born in Napoli during each.
