Off one of Naples' busiest streets stands a bronze statue of Pulcinella, the trickster who has "long" symbolized the city; the queue to rub his nose for luck up to 0.5km long. But locals know this "ancient" tradition is fabricated - a symbol of overtourism. 👇

Tourons world wide making travel a real bitch. My family went to Great Britain and spent 10 days dodging hordes. It's really awful how many people are spinning around taking selfies all day long.
