Description: For us, proud members of the formidable Neapolitan community in Brazil, the Dictionary of Neapolitan Aphorisms by Durval de Noronha Goyos is a work that retrieves our ancestral cultural sentiment, as well as the fondest memories of our childhood and family education, conducted with typical zeal by our mothers, fathers, and grandparents. The Neapolitan soul, fortified by the spirit and grace of San Gennaro, and with the determined collaboration of San Vito and San Nicola, is notably pronounced, and it has been preserved among us in Brazil with the aid of proverbs, aphorisms, and Neapolitan idiomatic expressions. Together with Neapolitan songs, these have constituted the didactic repertoire available to us.
