For me, the highlight of our day in Naples was shopping in the Via San Gregorio Armeno, just off the Spacanapoli.  The street is famous for its shops selling creche figures as well as all kinds of accessories for making "presepe" (see the miniature balcony railings on display below).

It is hard to see the detail in these photos without clicking on them to enlarge them.  We bought a number of figures in the shop shown (inside) above.  I thought about buying some figures specifically to bring home just to re-sell on E-bay, but was so overwhelmed by the choices I didn't know where to begin.
