You're most welcome. And you should definitely go!
Yes, I had an appointment in advance which he had however forgot. When I arrived I couldn't really gather where it was, so I just rang the doorbell with the sign Cerrato. A woman - who spoke no English - answered, but I made my point clear and she gestured that she would call, and then another gesture that he would take his scooter. True to her words (or signs) he arrived two minutes later on his scooter, excusing himself and then opening the doors to his sartoria. Another two minutes later espressos arrived and we were all set...
^ Very nice write up! Thank you.
I've been thinking for a long time about visiting Naples and you just gave me another reason to go! I'd like to visit Caccioppoli, meet Antonio Meccariello and now get some trousers made up in the Spanish Quarter - sounds like the perfect bespoke holiday.
Did you arrange a meeting with him up front by phone/e-mail?
