The Gran Premio di Napoli (or Grand Prix of Naples) was an auto racing event held in Posillipo , a district of Naples - Italy . The track of Posillipo was obtained from the streets that bordered the Gulf of Naples and hosted , once a year , a race called "Coppa Principessa del Piemonte" (Princess of Piemonte Cup) reserved for Grand Prix cars (ancestors of F1 cars) from 1933 to 1939 and "Gran Premio di Napoli from 1948 to 1962 reserved for F2 , Sport-Prototype and F1 cars (the race was not valid for the F1 championship) . The streets of the track aren't changed but are damaged due to tree roots that have broken the street .

This is a google maps image..... as you can see , the streets are never changed .... anyway the image is old (maybe 5 years ago) . Today the streets are in an horrible condition because the tree roots have broken the road. There are some race videos , they are all in italian language (sorry XD)
