Jamie Vardy was able to write the last chapter of his hard-a-Nail's career in one of Europe's most romantic destinations.
The attacker has emerged as a shock candidate for the Italian champion Napoli, which means that he could enjoy his last hurray in a pizza paradise, parties and football passion.
In many ways it is a perfect fit for Vardy – a city that carries its heart on its sleeve, a club that crows his favorite sons like kings, and a culture that has welcomed other British players to a lot of fanfare in recent years.
Napoli is looking for another striker after the Romelu Lukaku injury on the eve of the season and, although they can be confronted with competition from people like Celtic, where Vardy's old boss Brendan Rodgers is racing, they have a lot to offer the 38-year-old.
From breathtaking islands to global restaurants, from boat trips to pokers and bars on the roof, the region has an explosion of activities to spoil people with deep portfolios – and his football players benefit fully.
Just ask Scott McTominay how life is there. The former Star of Manchester United could hardly have asked to read a better first year after leaving England with his girlfriend Cam.
McTominay is so loved, now a series A-title winner, that he already has a sanctuary that is dedicated to him via San Nicola a Nilo, a central street.
A fan unveiled a birthday cake with McTominay theme. Another received a tattoo as a tribute to him. Give you all to Napoli and they will give you everything.
“I love this place, I love the fans, I love my teammates,” he said in December.
And there is enough to entertain him and girlfriend, cam of football. The duo has eaten on the coast of Amalfi, enjoy parties with their teammates and families and explores the wider region.
One of the favorite pastce of Napoli stars is to hire a boat and drive it to one of the islands in the Gulf of Naples: Ischia, Capri, Procida, Vivara or Nisida.
Replacement goalkeeper Nikita Contini shared intimate snaps who excited the sun with his partner Martina Fusco while they took a boat trip to Ischia on a summer.
In July, Pasquale Mazzocchi posed on a boat for the Aragonese castle on a diving trip with some of his good friends.
And forward Matteo Politano said: 'The city is great: the sea, climate and landscapes score hundred points. I think it's a small city, used to Rome, so I can easily make ends meet.
“The best thing about being here is being able to take a boat trip or perhaps go to the coast as soon as you have one or two days off, while when I was at other clubs, I couldn't wait to get back home.”
If maritime adventures don't tickle your imagination, why don't you put in a part of the renowned kitchen of the region?
The Sorbillo restaurant chain has three points of sale in the city and is owned by Gino Sorbillo, one of the world's most famous pizza makers whose recipes are so that he was even made a knight of the order of merit of the Italian Republic.
It is not only pizza that gets the taste buds in Naples – the city is also known for its seafood, pasta and rice.
That said, manager Antonio Conte is a strict monitor of the diets of his players, so Vardy cannot expect that she is too often on treats.
The former Chelsea boss is an advocate of the 'Bresaola diet', which means that fried food, mozzarella and alcohol are firmly out of the menu (even when it is noted and about having a tipple in Naples), while a Mediterranean menu of vegetables and protein-rich white meat and chicken lie on the table.
What becomes clear, when you dig into the life of Napoli's stars, is how united they seem to be away from the field.
Fortunately, Mctominay has the Scottish friend Billy Gilmour to help him settle, and the duo has had Italian lessons from none other than Conte itself, but the wider culture of the team seems friendly.
After their Scudetto Success last season, the team and their partners went out for an evening in the Riserva Rooftop Bar in the exclusive neighborhood of Posillipo, who many of the prosperous members of Naples Society Call Home.
Riserva is reasonably priced in some aspects, but in others sazen – you can, for example, reduce a bottle of quiet water from the Dolomites 25 euros.
The heroes of Napoli took their trophy and their medals to the chic place and manager Conte was even seen that his hair left there.
But what strikes Naples is the rough passion for the game. Diego Maradona is almost a religion in himself – 515 babies are named after him in the seven years he spent in the club, and his influence still echoes around the streets of the city in graffiti, murals and images.
The sky-blue colors of Napoli extend as far as the eye can see and the feet can wander, with flags hanging over narrow streets and street vendors who sell knock-off merchandise.
It is not only Maradona who is being released – from recent years people like Marek Hamsik and Lorenzo Insigne also have lasting legacies in the streets of the city.
As Victor Osimhen put it: “Naples should be a country, I see why many players spend many years there, because the love they show to their players is really huge and they love football.”
Or take Dries Mertens, who spent nine seasons with them: 'In Naples you breathe in football. Not only the young people, it is also something for the grandmothers and children. It's crazy!
'It's something special: waking up, drink coffee in the morning and talk about football. I started to live the way she, I love the food, the sea, all islands here. '
There is much to weigh for Vardy, who hopes to continue to play than 40 years.
And he is not the only one in this discussion – his wife Rebekah and their children also matter, and they have a lot to weigh.
Moving to Italy can be an opportunity to escape the sparkle that is abundantly in the Premier League or even plays more general in Great -Britain – especially after Rebekah lost her high court defamation with Colen Rooney.
And if Vardy McTominay would call, one of his old Premier League rivals, he would only hear a glowing report.
As the midfielder said: 'The pride of playing here is really special and when I found out that Napoli was interested in me, I felt the fire in me.
'I wanted to come here and push as much as possible because the fans are crazy, I would say they are some of the best fans I have ever seen. Incredible.
“I can't talk enough about the fans, the people, the city and the welcome that my teammates and coaches have given me.”
He also said to BBC Scotland: 'It was a big decision, but in some respects it was fairly simple.
'I saw the passionate fans, I saw the coach, I saw the players and I saw a chance.
“I took it. I didn't look back. It wasn't long to make the decision because I knew that was what I wanted and I will never regret my life.
“I love this place. I love the fans, I love my teammates. '
Now that Kevin De Bruyne fits from midfield, it is easy to see how Vardy could fall in love.
