Encyclopedic overview
Torre del Greco ( Italian: [ˈtorre del ˈɡrɛːko]; Neapolitan: Torre d' 'o Grieco; "Greek man's Tower") is a comune in the Metropolitan City of Naples in Italy, with a population of c. 85,000 as of 2016. The locals are sometimes called Corallini because of the once plentiful coral in the nearby sea, and because the city has been a major producer of coral jewellery and cameo brooches since the seventeenth century.
